Video Image
The Video Image Panel lets you change or adjust various options of the Video Image and Display Monitor.
Source Panel
The Source Panel allows you to adjust or reinterpret certain General Properties of a media file. If the file contains additional source-specific properties, a new section will appear below the General Properties area, organized into relevant sub-sections.
General Properties
In this section, you can adjust or reinterpret the following settings (where applicable):
Field Order Reinterpret the field order as Progressive, Upper Field First, or Lower Field First.
Note: This setting does not affect playback—only exports.
Resolution Currently not adjustable. Displayed for informational purposes only.
Aspect Ratio Reinterpret the display aspect ratio of the media.
This change will be reflected visually in the viewer.
HW Decode (Hardware Decoding) Enable or disable GPU-based decoding for supported media types.
Useful if hardware decoding causes playback issues or artifacts.
Valid Closed I-Frames Some Long-GOP media may incorrectly label Open I-Frames as Closed, which can lead to decoding artifacts. Unchecking this option will treat Closed I-Frames as Open I-Frames, improving playback accuracy for affected files.
Color Space Panel
The Color Space panel allows you to manage and convert the color characteristics of the currently selected media file.
Source Color Space
In this section, you can manually set or override the detected Source Color Space and Source Color Level of the media.
Destination Color Space
Here, you can convert the media from its source color space and level to a selected Destination Color Space and Color Level. When applicable, you can also apply:
HDR-to-SDR white point conversions
Gamma and tone mapping adjustments for accurate color remapping
Additionally, you can set the destination color space using Video Look Presets saved under Preferences → Import Media → Color Space.
Monitor Options
Global Display Settings
Map Video to Full for Display When enabled, this global option remaps media files encoded with Video Levels to Full Levels for on-screen display.
Bit Depth If you're using a monitor that supports 10-bit or higher output, you can enable 10-bit display for media files that contain 10-bit (or greater) image data.
2nd Display (Pro License required) Toggles the Second Video Output Window on or off, allowing full-screen output to a secondary display.
Monitor Color Space (Pro License required)
The Monitor Color Space section allows you to convert the media file’s original Color Space and Level to the desired Monitor Output Color Space and Level. When appropriate, the following transformations can be applied:
HDR-to-SDR white point conversions
Gamma and tone mapping
You can also save or load Monitor Look Presets for quick configuration.
Monitor LUT (Pro License required)
In the Monitor LUT section, you can apply a 3D LUT (Look-Up Table) globally across all media for monitor output.
You can also save or load Monitor LUT Presets for consistent color workflows.
