Previewing your settings
Video encoding requires a lot of computer resources and can take awhile to complete.
HandBrake’s Preview
feature allows you to perform a test run on a small portion of your Source
, so you can see what your new video will look like without encoding all of it.
Opening the Preview window
At the top of HandBrake’s main window, you’ll see a toolbar with various buttons.
Select the Preview
button to open the Preview
window.
Adjusting Preview settings
Move your mouse cursor over the Preview
window, and some controls will appear.
Set the starting position by dragging the Position
control left or right, and choose how many seconds of video you want to encode using the Duration
control.
Starting a Preview encode
When you’re satisfied with your starting position and duration, select Live Preview
and be patient. HandBrake will report its progress while it works.
When your Preview
is ready, the controls are updated to let you play, pause, and rewind your video. You can also adjust the audio volume, and in some cases, choose which audio track plays.
To create a new Preview
, select the ╳
button to start over.
When you’re finished previewing your work, you may close the Preview
window.
Next steps
If the Preview
you created was lacking in quality or otherwise not as expected, you may need to adjust quality or select a different Preset, after which you can create another Preview
to see any changes.
Once you are satisfied, continue to Starting encoding.
