IAMTimelineGroup::SetPreviewMode

The SetPreviewMode method sets the preview mode for the group.

Syntax

HRESULT SetPreviewMode(
    BOOL fPreview
);

Parameters

fPreview

Boolean value that specifies the preview mode. If TRUE, the group is in preview mode. If FALSE, the group is in authoring mode.

Return Value

Returns S_OK.

Remarks

In preview mode, frames are dropped during slow effects or transitions to keep the video synchronized with the audio. The video might look choppy as a result. In authoring mode, every frame is rendered. Authoring mode is appropriate for writing files; for on-screen preview, the video might be out of sync with the audio.

Requirements

Header: Include Qedit.h. This header file is not compatible with Microsoft® Direct3D® headers later than version 7.
