Four different monitor overlays help you to show you more information about your videos. These overlays will not be rendered to the final video.
Real Time (Drop Frames)¶
This right-click menu item has been moved to the main menu
Setting this to the Checked state means the clip monitor will drop frames during playback to ensure the clip plays in real time. This does not affect the final rendered file - it just affects how the clip appears when being previewed in the clip monitor.
