Preview Windows 207 Display Options On both the A and B sides are two sets of options. These options control how the image is processed prior to displaying in the Dynamic Preview window. Process - controls whether the image displayed on a given side has the pre-processing specified in the setting applied to it. This includes image adjustments (Brightness, Hue, Gamma, etc.) and filters (Noise Reduction, Static Mask, etc.) Encode - controls whether the result on a given side is encoded using the parameters set in the Encode tab. Because Cleaner can not currently display certain encoded formats, such as RealMedia and Windows Media, the Encode option may be unavailable with certain settings. When you process a movie, the image displayed in the Dynamic Preview with the Encode option is a keyframe. It is a good indicator of how the final, encoded image will appear, but is not exactly the same as the final output. To see the final output, you must start the actual encoding and use the Before/After slider in the output window. See "Before/After Preview" on page 210 for more details. When processing a still image, the image displayed is an exact replica of the final image. To see the effects of the image adjustment: 1. Clear the check boxes for both options on the left. 2. Click the check box for only the Pre-Process option on the right. Checking only the Pre-Process option previews only the image adjustments, not the encoding. 3. Click the Update button or press a D. The left side of the window shows the original image; the right shows the image with all filters and processing applied. This enables you to quickly see how the adjustments and filters affect the project. Some codecs slightly alter the color balance, contrast or brightness of the encoded image. To correct for a particular codec: 1. Clear the check boxes for both options on the left. 2. Click the check boxes for both options on the right to enable them. 3. Click the Update button or press a D. The left side shows the original unmodified image; the right side shows the final output with both the codec changes and your own. Use the controls in the Adjust tab to make both sides match. When they look the same, you have compensated for the color, brightness, or contrast changes introduced by the codec.

Preview Windows
207
Display Options
On both the A and B sides are two sets of options. These options control how the image is
processed prior to displaying in the Dynamic Preview window.
Process
— controls whether the image displayed on a given side has the pre-processing
specified in the setting applied to it. This includes image adjustments (Brightness, Hue,
Gamma, etc.) and filters (Noise Reduction, Static Mask, etc.)
Encode
— controls whether the result on a given side is encoded using the parameters set in
the Encode tab. Because Cleaner can not currently display certain encoded formats, such as
RealMedia and Windows Media, the Encode option may be unavailable with certain settings.
When you process a movie, the image displayed in the Dynamic Preview with the Encode
option is a keyframe. It is a good indicator of how the final, encoded image will appear, but is
not exactly the same as the final output. To see the final output, you must start the actual
encoding and use the Before/After slider in the output window. See “Before/After Preview”
on page 210 for more details. When processing a still image, the image displayed is an exact
replica of the final image.
To see the effects of the image adjustment:
1.
Clear the check boxes for both options on the left.
2.
Click the check box for only the Pre-Process option on the right.
Checking only the Pre-Process option previews only the image adjustments, not the
encoding.
3.
Click the Update button or press
D.
The left side of the window shows the original image; the right shows the image with all
filters and processing applied. This enables you to quickly see how the adjustments and
filters affect the project.
Some codecs slightly alter the color balance, contrast or brightness of the encoded image.
To correct for a particular codec:
1.
Clear the check boxes for both options on the left.
2.

both the codec changes and your own. Use the controls in the Adjust tab to make both sides
match. When they look the same, you have compensated for the color, brightness, or contrast
changes introduced by the codec.
