Preview a video before sharing

Preview lets you review an editable video in an owner view of the viewer page before sharing it.

1. Open the video in the editor and select Preview in the top bar. Add a scene first if the button is unavailable. Exit recording mode before opening Preview.
2. Play the video and review its timing, audio and captions. Check the title, description and available viewer elements too.
3. Select Customize viewer to adjust available share-page settings, then review the result.
4. Select Return to editor to make more changes. You can also press P to switch between editing and Preview, or Esc to return to editing when a menu or dialog is not open.
5. Check the save indicator before leaving. When you're ready, share the video and test the link in a separate browser session. Preview uses an owner view, so it cannot confirm what a recipient can access.

Preview speed

While editing, the playback bar's Preview speed changes how fast you watch in the editor. It does not change the project or export. The player in Preview has its own speed control. To change the video itself, see Change scene speed. Export and share-page speeds are separate settings.

For smoother playback while editing, you can turn on Low-res preview in the canvas zoom menu. It changes the editor preview, not the exported video.
