Previewing Effects
Most effects must be rendered so you can preview them properly. Some effects can be displayed in the OpenGL view, but most of them must be rendered and previewed in the Render Mode of the Camera view.
1. | In the Camera view status bar, click the Render Mode button. |
In the bottom-right corner of the Camera view, the progress bar indicates the status of the rendering. Depending on the size of the frame to render, it may take several seconds.
Once you preview your effect, you may want to adjust it. By default, as soon as you modify a parameter, Harmony will recalculate the preview image. If your scene is heavy and you do not want preview rendered automatically, you can disable the Auto-Render option and request the preview update yourself.
1. | In the Camera view status bar, click the Auto-Render button. |
Once the Auto-Render option is disabled, you must request the preview update by clicking the Auto-Render button.
