Previewing video and audio



The Preview panel in the Flash Media Live Encoder GUI includes the following:

  • An audio level meter, indicating input audio volume, and a mute button

  • An Input display of the video currently being captured

  • An Output display, which reflects current video encoding settings. If you are encoding multiple streams simultaneously, you can select the desired stream to view. This control appears below the output window during encoding.

    Note: Before encoding starts, the Output display reflects only crop and resize settings.

    By default, the Preview panel is active and appears at actual output size.

Show or hide input video, output video, and audio

 Select or deselect the following Preview options:

 Select a percentage from the pop-up menu on the upper right of either the Input or Output preview.
Note: Zoom level does not affect encoding or the stream that viewers see.
