Video Preview Whilst Recording

Post by sark » Thu Feb 21, 2019 10:40 am

Hi all

Is there anyway of displaying a video preview whilst recording audio in Audacity. I know Audacity doesn't support this, but just wondered if there is some sort of player that will remain open and functioning at the same time as Audacity. Or is there a way of achieving this with standard players. Normally , selecting one application hides any other open application.

Cheers

Resize the windows of audacity & the video player so they are not fullscreen and don't overlap.

Or you can select that one (smaller) window is a "always on top".

Thanks for replying. The "Always on top" Autohotkey function is exactly what I'm looking for.

Thanks Again
