Lost Full Screen on 2nd monitor

Apr 23, 2012 10:17 AM

Tags: #monitor #premiere #screen #full #reference #2nd

First off, I am using private beta of CS6. Just last week I lost the ability to use the Preferences/Playback/Video Device/Adobe Monitor 2. Even when its selected, or any of them for that matter, nothing happens. So I no longer have a full screen reference monitor. I have already tried trashing preferences, even reinstalling with no luck? What gives? I have a CUDA enabled GPU and edit with GPU acceleration. The reference monitor works in AE just fine.

    This could be a little tough for us to answer until CS6 becomes available and a LOT more folks have a chance to use it.

    Where did you get it and what does it entail, private beta? NDA, etc.

     

    Probably OE. It seems to work fine here, even with CS5.5.

    yah, theres an NDA and the license is tied through my account. But everyone gets to play with it damn soon. Not sure whats going on, a complete uninstall of the apps and prefs did nothing. I'm pretty positive its the same feature in previous versions, just can't find the culprit. This is the first its happened to me in over a month of testing.

    I'm willing to bet if someone fixed an issue like this in CS5 or 5.5 it would be the same fix in CS6.

    Then use the other resources at your disposal as a beta tester. As Jim said, it may be some time before you can get feedback that is not under a NDA.

    I would, but my one resource (forum) is no longer up. Hence me asking elsewhere.

    In using dual monitors, one often extends the monitor to cover two screens. It is no longer maximized but extended. If you want to use the second display as a full screen monitor, you have to make sure that PR is 'Maximized' to one screen:

    FACEPALM! hahaha, I feel like such a noob!!! That was totally it, crazy. My app window was extending into monitor 2 so slightly that the human eye couldnt even see it! Wow, thanks.

    Such things are easy to overlook. Glad it solved your issue.
