In Premier Pro 6, can anybody let me know if there is a simple click to acheive full screen viewing of the timeline clips without having to render or export first? I need to check the quality and at the moment I keep dragging the editing windows up in size but its still not full screen.

Is there a simple way to acheive this?

Cheers

Stuart

Premiere won't give you full quality and full framerate playback without render the added effects on the timeline. If you are editing in DV then the preview monitor only has to be 720x576 to give you full screen, because pc monitors are far larger than TV screens in resolution. This means to playback at full screen on a pc monitor the video would be have to enlarged 4 or 5 times to fill the screen which would result in a loss of quality that wouldn't happen on a TV screen.

To view your output from the timeline to a TV or output monitor you require either a 2 way Firewire A2D converter or a graphics card with realtime output like the matrox cards.

The timeline would still have to be rendered to get full quality and framerate.
