Video preview through second monitor

I'm running PPro CS5 on a mid 2010 Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card.  The card can feed up to 3 monitors - of which I have two connected right now.  In Encore I can choose to preview from either monitor, but in PPro I seem to get only two options - 'None' and 'DV'. In CS3 (on a PC) I used to be to enable this with the Desktop setting.
How please do I set things up to find my second monitor?  I have updated my Mac's software (which should pick up the latest approved graphics drivers), so I don't think it's an ATI problem.
Thanks very much
Julian

Here you go Jim.  A little cramped for me having the main Premiere interface on one screen, but it will do for now.  If I can get the third screen running, I wn't really need my MX02 Mini - which doesn't yet work properly on the Mac anyway...
Good luck with making your system work this way.  Let me know if I can help further.

  • Previewing with second monitor

    all I want to do is burn video to dvd. I want to make sure that the media is within the title action safe area. I made a video for my girl and it looked fine in the safe area on my lcd monitor but when I played in on my HD tv it was beyond the safe area. I've been looking at Blackmagic Intensity Pro
    HDMI Capture Card and DeckLink SDI but am at a loss when it comes to the second monitor.
    my questions are:
    what would be the most budget minded setup to do this?
    can I hook up a regular hd tv in order to preview?
    using after effects for the edits

    Hi Civolis,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are having issues with video and connection to a second display for use with your MacBook Pro. In this situation, I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article to help resolve your issue.

  • AE CC 2014 mercury preview on second monitor suddenly lost

    Hi
    First mercury preview was working fine on my second system monitor and through blackmagic (beside the lack of scaling the image through BM)-
    Then because AE suddenly had a problem with initialising Media Core I un-installed AE and re-installed again.
    Now I don't have the mercury preview on my second monitor anymore! (I need it because only this way I can monitor scope format)
    The preview of standard HD works fine through Blackmagic instead!
    Anyone knows how to solve this (urgent)
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Uli

    Hi Tim
    Thanks for getting back to me about this issue.
    Actually this is a minor problem, or none at all.
    What is a bit frustrating that Blackmagic won't do any scaling. Aja does a pretty niche job.
    This is mentioned in the AE_video_preview document as well.
    The point is that it is possible because Davinci Resolve does it with the same card.
    Best regards,

  • How do you move Mail, Preview to second monitor?

    This is probably a dumb question... I have a second monitor connected to my Macbook Pro. I can move Chrome and other programs to second monitor by dragging them there. I'm unable to drag Mail, Preview to the second monitor.....
    What am I doing wrong?

    Do you mean ---
    To a second monitor, or to a third, "grade" monitor?
    How "most" people are doing it... among the now 1.4 million licensees of FCP, I can't really comment. I don't think there are that many grade monitors in use, fewer users of even external monitors. For two-monitor setups, the use of a 2xDVI GPU is the way to go, but the video is NOT conditioned for broadcast display, at least up to this version, and not likely to change until Snow Leopard, when the 1.8/2.2 issue is rumoured to be addressed.
    The preferred method that was envisioned by the engineering team was to use an AJA or Blackmagic AV-SDI interface, so that all the up/down/cross gamma and colourspace and framerate and resolution issues could be taken care of by somebody else.
    There is a landslide of opposition to this because "proper monitors and video interfaces are too expensive". So "many" people gaff-tape and Rube-Goldberg "less expensive" solutions using computer graphics displays. They run into a lot of problems, not restricted to, for examples, an inappropriate contrast ratio, non-standard spectral response, and incompatible third-party color profiling which completely garbles the output.
    It is an extremely complex problem. At the moment only SDI is supported, FireWire will likely never happen as it doesn't have the bandwidth to be useful.

  • Feature Request:   Preset Preview on Second Monitor

    Currently, when you have monitor 2 set on "Loupe" mode and it is set for a "Live" view, and then scroll across the filmstrip on monitor 1, you can see the images change on the second monitor.
    I would like to have the ability to set monitor 2 on "Loupe" mode with a "Preset" view, so you can see the effects a preset will have in the larger view, as you scroll over the presets you have created on monitor 1.
    The ability to see what effects a preset will have on an image is a great tool. The only issue I have with it in its current condition is the size of the preview window. IMHO, being able to see how the image would be effected full-screen before having to actually apply a preset would take this feature to another level.
    Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Regards, JML

    This is an absolute must.

  • Preset Preview on Second Monitor

    I would like to take this opportunity to submit a feature request that would make it possible to preview how a preset would look like on a second monitor. As it currently stands you can preview the effect in the small image above the preset list. Unfortunately it can be difficult to judge the effect a preset will have on the image because of the relatively small image your previewing it on.
    It would be sooo nice to be able to see the preview on a second monitor, and will cut down on the number of times a preset is applied and then removed because I didn't like how it looked when seen on the larger image.    
    BTW, thanks for making it possible in LR3 to filter and/or create smart folders based on Focal Length. It is greatly appreciated!

  • Slow preview on second monitor

    Hello
    I'm using two monitors with LR5, and the second monitor is the preview screen.
    I find the preview on the second monitor to be painfully slow in both the Library and Develop modules:
    1) If I am the Develop module, and I move to the next photo, and zoom the preview to 100% (or if it is already at 100%), it take a minute, literally, for the preview to display correctly.
    2) In the Develop module, sometimes the display does not update correctly at all. If I adjust a slider on the Details tab, however slightly, the preview then updates almost immediately.
    3) In the Library module, if I switch the main window to single photo view, and view 100%, then, as I browse the photos, the main window updates very quickly, but the preview window lags behind.
    I'm working with Fuji X-Trans RAF files, and this maybe this si the issue? JPGs update almost immediately in the preview window in both modules.
    Does anyone have a similar experience?
    Mike

  • Can't see video playing through external monitor

    Well it use to work, seeing the Timeline play through my external monitor.. Here's what I have, FCP 4.5 HD hooked up through Firewire to a JVC tape deck which in turn is hooked up through RCA cables to a small tv set. I have the following setup in FCP Audio/Video settings>Device control Preset: Firewire NTSC and Video Playback: Apple firewire NTSC. I've unplugged the Firewire cable a couple of times and still can't get the Timeline to play in my external monitor. Here's the funny part if I go to Log and Capture I can control the JVC deck and see my mini DV not only play in the Log and Capture window but also in the external monitor. I would think I won't be able to. I must be forgetting a setting in FCP to see my Timeline play in my monitor but for the life of me I can't remeber. Appreciate all sugestions!

    Randy,
    Many thanks. I really should not use keyboard commands that I'm not sure about.! I probably hit cmd F12 instead of just plain old F12 to do a superimpose. I'm going to start a list of all these settings I need to check. Someday I hope to be able to help someone figure out a problem. Again thanks for taking time to help me out and keeping a few more hairs on my head.

  • Full screen videos/streams on second monitor won't stay full screen while using another window on other monitor

    Whenever I open and then full screen a video or stream of any kind, I am unable to use another window of Firefox while the video/stream maintains full screen. When I click off the video/stream it reverts back to the smaller screen. Is there any way to change this?

  • AE CC loses connection with second monitor and audio mixer (BLACKMAGIC) when switching to desktop

    specifications:
    Mac OsX 10.7.5
    AE cc (part of creative cloud, up-to-date) NOT TRIAL VERSION
    software for connecting monitor and adui mix panel: Blackmagic Desktop Video 10.0
    second monitor: Sony Trimaster EL PVM 2541
    audio mix panel: Behringer Xenyx x1204USB audio mixer
    Blackmagic connects the Sony screen + Behringer Xenyx x1204USB audio mixer to the mac computer.
    the problem:
    When working in after effects, we link the program to show the video preview on the second screen (the sony one)
    While the work area is still visible on the Mac screen.
    The audio is also regulated through Blackmagic so we can mix on the xenyx mix panel.
    Everything works fine as long as we stay in after effects.
    If, for a brief moment, even a second, we swhitch to the desktop, or an other program (internet, acrobat reader, etc) After effects looses the connection to Blackmagic (forgets it exists). So we suddenly have no audio, or no longer a seperate video preview image.
    The option to select Blackmagic in the dropdown menu is also gone.
    If we restart After effects though, it's connected again.
    Any ideas?
    I added two screenshots to clarify.
    The screenshots is when it does work, and after effects still recognizes blackmagic.
    Cheers,
    Andreas

    When this happens, open Activity Monitor. Is Adobe QT32 Server running? That is required for QuickTime video preview. If it is not running, this is the troubleshooting you want to do:

    In the next update to After Effects CC, the old QuickTime video preview (on Mac; DirectShow video preview on Windows) is being replaced by Mercury Transmit:

  • How do I get my Mac Pro to see the second monitor through a video splitter and/or switcher?

    In a recording studio we have a Mac Pro with two video display monitors in the control room and we want to be able to show the content of the second monitor to the person in the recording room on a big display monitor there. However, when we interpose a switcher or splitter between the computer and the second monitor so that we can (with a switcher) switch the second monitor signal from the control room monitor to the record room monitor or (with a splitter) split the signal to go to both monitors, we have no luck. On startup the computer does not see the monitor through the switcher, so it doesn't recognize its existence. If we start the computer up without the switcher in the signal chain, it sees the second monitor just fine, and (weirdly enough) we can then change the cabling to interpose the switch, which then works to switch back and forth between second monitors (control room and record room), but that cable swapping's a royal PITA. We want a simple solution that will allow us to start up the computer, see the second monitor in the control room, then choose to show it to the person in the record room with a simple flip of the switch (or even better, split the signal so it's available both places). The splitter we've tried most recently is this one: http://tinyurl.com/curen39 I'd appreciate any advice from people who have tried this configuration or something similar with success. We have a full ProTools HD Accel 3 system installed, so there's no room to install a second video card. Thanks.

    Thanks for the response! Yes, it's a 5x70 video card, a 5770 I believe. In any case, it does have the three ports, but (a not-well documented fact) that doesn't mean one can really get three full-resolution signals out of it at one time, as you alluded to in your message. So, yes, we did try hooking all three up directly to the computer, but the computer would only recognize two of those monitors, and the only way to get it to "de-recognize" the second monitor and recognize the third monitor was to physically disconnect the second monitor.
    I did say when you want to connect three monitors to 5x70's there are some rules to adhere to.  These are covered in the first two apple docs mentioned above, or by title:
    Mac Pro (Mid 2010), Mac Pro (Early 2009): Issues with three displays and multiple DVI, HDMI connections
    Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Supported display configurations
    The general gist of these rules is that to drive three monitor son a 5x70 you need two active adapters.  That is why one of your monitors was disabled when you tried to add a third. 
    Here's a good explanation of what's going in here and why you need two active adapters on these cards:
    Active vs. Passive Displayport adapters *the truth*
    If you use DVI monitors and any of them have resolutions less than 1920 x 1200 then you can use single link active adapters. The "AMD Eyefinity Validated Dongles" chart shows some active (and passive) adapters that are acceptable.  For example of a single link DVI active adapter is the Accell B087B-006B.  An example of a dual link DVI active adapter would be the one from monoprice.com if you need to connect monitors with a resolution greater than 1920 x 1200.
    I'm doubtful that SwitchResX would be able to convince the computer that there were only two monitors connected and direct the second monitor signal to the correct place, but it certainly seems worth a try, so thanks for the idea! Any other ideas are still welcome in the meantime.
    I'm not doubtful.  It is a very powerful utility for dealing with all aspects of multiple monitor configurations (they call them "Display Sets") complete with forcing EDID information if necessary.  The different configurations can be controlled with a (contextual) menu and/or hot key.
    SwitchResX is academic at this point if you want to have all three monitors connected.  You would need to get that working first.  Then use SwitchResX to vary the configuration combinations.  So if you go this route the "name of the game" is figure out the active adapters you need.
    I only described in general terms above about the adapters since you never said exactly what kind of connections these monitors require (single link DVI, dual link DVI, hdmi, mini-displayport, vga). 

  • Play itunes videos on a Large Second Monitor

    Hi Folks,
    Ultimately, my goal is to have a late model Mac Book Pro, connected to a least a 24 in. secondary monitor or High end Larger tv 32-50 inches or so connected through a HDMI cable.
    Then I would like to run iTunes - in which the APP will show on the laptop screen, and as I trigger videos from iTunes - they will play on the secondary monitor - all in my preset large size.
    Currently - in my testing I have a Vista PC laptop running iTunes (latest) and 24 in. secondary monitor.
    At first I set video preferences : separate window full-size - but each time a video played - it would black out the laptop's screen which I do not want to do - since I need to use iTunes while the video plays... (to select other videos etc.)
    The video prefs were then set to: open in a separate window
    At first - I started playing a video - and dragged it to the 24 in. monitor and set it to a large size
    As I jump from video to video - many times the newer video would resize itself to a small window - often different for each one - and I would have to manually resize it... not what I wanted to do.
    So - I set up one large screen size - then I selected all the videos - Control-i (get info) - and set all of them to remember playback position....
    Then - as I jumped around from one to another - they seem to stay closer to the size I want - But some still get smaller and bigger...
    Q: how can I set this up - so all videos will play on the second monitor in the same position and size window for each one?
    Is this better on a MBP or should Vista PC work right also? Is it better on the latest mac w snow leopard?

    *I was wondering if you can play music videos on a second generation iPod nano.*
    The second generation Nano is not designed for video playback and won't load music videos, video podcasts or other video files.
    *It has a space for music videos but I'm not sure if you can play them*
    iTunes has a default video playlist, the Nano picks this up but not any files that are contained in it.

  • Play external av device (XBox) through "video in" port to monitor via G3

    After a half a year with a MacBook, i've decided to come back to my PowerMac G3 for good and fun reasons. So i have a B&W G3 which has 6over 600megs of RAM, and currently an ATI Raedon 32mb video card, the thing is i have this ATI Rage 3D PRO card with a VIDEO IN port and S-video out and in ports. I want to hook up my xbox's av cord to the VIDEO IN and play my xbox through my computer to my monitor, is this possible? Also since im using my ATI Raedon 32mb can i use this other card as a secondary one? What kind of applications do i need to be able to run an external av device through my PowerMac G3. Im pretty sure its quite possible cause ive done with an old Quadra.

    It sounds like you have one of the ATI Xclaim video cards. One has 4MB on-board and has a slot to add a VRAM chip but it won't be very good in OS X if it will work at all. The other is a Xclaim 16MB card with no add-on VRAM slot and works in OS X up to 10.4 (I think) and would be good to run a second monitor.
    I think you can do what you want but you need the XClaim TV Tuner box (if you have the XClaim card) that can still be found on eBay. You will need the ATI proprietary "S-Video like" input cable that connects the tuner box to the card. A regular S-video cable will not work.
    You can then use the RCA input jacks on the TV Tuner box to attach Xbox. I think you will also need the XClaim software from ATI to run the box but it may work with Apple Video Player you can download here in the old software section. You cannot use this with OS X and must use OS 9 or earlier with the box.
