Previewing eCatalogs in the eCatalog Viewer

You can use Preview to display your eCatalog using different eCatalog Viewer Presets. You can experiment with the different controls to turn pages, write sticky notes, and browse.

See Configuring Default Viewers.

See Previewing an asset.

To preview eCatalogs in the eCatalog Viewer:

In the Asset Library panel on the left side, in the Show drop-down list, select a video-based asset type such as Video or Video Set.
In the Asset Library panel on the left side, navigate the Asset folders that contain videos that you want to preview with an eCatalog Viewer.
Do one of the following:
- Above the Assets window, on the right side of the toolbar, click Grid View. In the Asset window, below the thumbnail image, click Preview > Viewer List.
- Above the Assets window, on the right side of the toolbar, click List View. In the Asset window, select an asset, and then to the right of the thumbnail image, click Preview > Viewer List.
- Above the Assets window, on the right side of the toolbar, click Detail View. On the same toolbar, click Preview > Viewer List.
In the Viewer List window, in the table, click a viewer link to preview the asset in the selected viewer.
Close the displayed viewer.
In the lower-right corner of the Viewer List window, click Close to return to the Assets screen.
