Crop live-preview on 2nd monitor

isn't working anymore in LR4.2. In LR3 this was a very useful feature and I want it back - do I miss something or was the live-crop-preview removed from LR4?

Yep - when the navigator is on it does!
Nevertheless this is a workaround that shouldn't be neccesary using a pro-software.
Hope this will be fixed in the near furure ...

  • Full Screen Preview in 2nd Monitor

    On a dual display system, is there any way to view the video preview of DCP, full screen on your other monitor ?

    David:
    Of course!
    Open your Project & try View > Video Playback > Digital Cinema Desktop Preview - Full screen.
    This, of course, is spelled out in the manual that came with the program. Now, I'm not one of those dudes who gets all mad when someone asks a question that can be answered with a manual read, but just so you know, you'll learn so much about the potential of FCP if you do. Sure, it takes some commitment, but man, you'll have no regrets.
    Happy editting!

  • Preview Playback on 2nd Monitor

    I am brand new to the Final Cut AND Mac World - just got my first Mac with Final Cut Studio two days ago.
    I am having some problems getting preview playback on my 2nd monitor in RAW or full screen, neither work. What I get is the current frame of the timeline, no moving video and I get audio playback.
    I have View -> All Frames checked (as opposed to single frame) but I get the same results as if single frame were checked.
    My primary monitor with the standard final cut layout is an Apple 20" cinema, and the 2nd monitor is an older 17" Samsung.
    I get the exact same result if I switch the full screen preview playback over to my Apple display. Just the current frame with audio playback.
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

  • Preview opens in 2nd monitor

    I have a 2nd monitor above my main monitor.
    Whenever Preview opens a file, it puts it on the 2nd screen.....only when it is placed "above" the main. Sides and bottom work fine.
    Trashed caches, preferences, permissions, etc. Obviously, I have moved the monitor arrangement.
    (I have seen this issue on the boards, but no one answers the question.)

    That was the first thing I did. And it should have worked.
    I also

  • Lightroom 4.2 - Experiencing problems with images viewed on 2nd monitor

    Hi All,
    This problem seems to have started with my updating from 4.1 to 4.2.  I have my second monitor set as Loupe - Normal and Fit.  As I crop an image on my main monitor, the 2nd monitor view does not always change to the cropped view.  If I switch to a different photo and then back to the one I just cropped, the 2nd monitor view will then show the cropped image, but it is almost always blurry.  Sometimes I can click the image in the 2nd monitor view to change to a 1:1 view and it will look sharp, and then click again back to Fit and then it too will be sharp.  Other times I get a message in the 2nd monitor view that says "no image selected" and bouncing back and forth between a different image will correct this.
    This all started off with the majority, but not all cropped images showing as blurred and progressed to what I have described above.  I seriously though I had a focus problem with my camera!
    Is anyone else experinecing this since updating?  Suggestions?
    Below is the suggested information to provide...
    What version of Lightroom? 4.2
    Have you installed the recent updates? Yes, 4.2
    What operating system? Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
    What kind(s) of image file(s)? All images are converted to .dng upon import
    If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)? No error messages.
    What were you doing when the problem occurred? I am in the develop module cropping images etc.
    What other software are you running? Silver Efex Pro 2, but I have had that installed in many prior versions of Lightroom
    Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? 32 GB - Yes, I know - overkill... 
    How much free space is on your system (C:) drive? 119 GB of 223 GB of my solid state drive c:\
    Has this ever worked before? Yes
    If so, do you recall any changes you made to Lightroom, such as adding Plug-ins, presets, etc.? No other changes other than updating to 4.2
    Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers, or installing/uninstalling any programs?  No, no other changes.
    Thanks!

  • Outputing to 2nd Monitor

    Our facility is streaming using Adobe Media Live Encoder.  We are building a new facility and I want to send the output of the stream to NTSC output of my video card so we can monitor the stream from the office area.   My goal is to have the output of all 3 channels on a quad view monitor with our 3 channels and the front door security camera.  We are currently using Flash Media Live Encoder 3 and I don't see any options for outputing to a 2nd monitor.

    Dennis,
    Thanks for the reply. If by "quit" you mean minimize, then yes it does, but if I actually quite the application and reopen it, it reopens on the primary screen and I have to drag it again to the secondary monitor. At first I thought it might just be the app, but all of them do the same thing (iTunes, Safari, etc.) Is there any special setting that needs to be set in order for it to work?

  • Develop Mode 2nd Monitor not showing edit adjustments

    I am using Lightroom 4.1 RC2 on a Windows 7 64 bit system with dual monitors. When I am in the develop mode and make edit adjustments on any setting the 2nd monitor does not update. If I move to another image then come back the image is updated but it does not work in real time. I have never had this problem before and it worked fine in Lightroom V4.0

    It's a bug in LR4.1 RC2.
    The workaround seems to be to increase the size of the Standard Preview setting (File Handling tab of the Catalog Settings)....go up at least one setting (e.g. if it's currently 1024 change it to 1440 or 1680). No need to recreate your previews, just increasing the setting seems to work in most cases.
    You might also, without realising it, be suffering a fairly dramatic memory leak which is also stopped by changing the settings.

  • Desktop comes up on 2nd monitor before showing up on Primary Display.

    12 core mid 2010 macpro.  My First monitor is a cinema display connected to DVI connecter on the ATI HD 5870 card and my 2nd monitor is hooked up via the first adjacent mini-display port (with an hdmi dongle).  All works well except on boot, even though the display prefs are set so that the 30" cinema display is the primary one, the entire desktop shows up on the 2nd display for a moment and then after a "Blue Blink" everything shows up again on the primary monitor.  The issue is that all of the items on the desktop are an utter mess.  I also notice in the about this mac info pane (on displays) the HDMI connection is listed first, the Cinema HD display 2nd.  Is this a bug?  It seems to me that once you set the display priorities in the display preference pane the machine should be able to get it right the first time.  Is there something else I need to set or is this something I have to live with. 

    Not sure what you mean about "display priorities".  Where you plug these guys into your video card is immaterial.
    Did you define the 30" as the "main monitor", i.e., the one containing the menu bar?   Look at your Displays preferences, Arrangement tab.  If the little white menu bar is not on your 30" drag it there.  That is then where your boot displays should show. 
    It wouldn't hurt to click the detect displays button the displays preferences and also do a smc and pram reset.
    ...the entire desktop shows up on the 2nd display for a moment and then after a "Blue Blink" everything shows up again on the primary monitor.  The issue is that all of the items on the desktop are an utter mess.
    What this sounds like to me is that for some reason when you desktop is coming up after logging in is that the "other" monitor is where it is being drawn, and then the 30" is enabled, made the main monitor, but the resolutions got screwed up in the switching, and that screwed up the icon and window layout.  If I didn't know better it sounds like you are using SwitchResX and don't have it configured correctly.  I say that because I believe I could simulate what you describe by setting up SwitchResX to do that. 
    Currently I have 3 monitors attached to my system.  One is for the TV and defaulted to be disabled using SwitchResX.  When I log in I also get that "blue flash" but that is SwitchResX setting up my default monitor configuration as it disables the TV connection (SwitchResX is a login item).  But since I have a proper SwitchResX configuration my primary monitor (27") and my secondary monitor (VGA) come up properly (after the flash).  But it's that flash you describe that made me think of SwitchResX.
    As for the System Profiler displays information, I don't know what order it decides to list that stuff.  But I don't think it has anything to do with a "priority".

  • Using Preview with 2 monitors...

    I didn't know where to post this so I'm going to first try here in OS X Tiger forum so here goes...
    I just installed a 2nd video card so as to be able to connect my t.v. as 2nd monitor. Pretty much everything is fine with one exception...
    When I launch Preview (latest version), my picture window shows up on the 2nd monitor but I wish for it to launch the window on my computer monitor instead. I've got my main start up and dock on the computer monitor as well. I just don't see any preference anywhere that tells me to change this otherwise. However, if I use the old Preview software which I think is back in version 1, the picture window will launch on my computer monitor just fine. Anybody got any suggestions? TIA

    I have two monitor as well, a Cinema display and a 17" Sony. Preview opens largish things just fine and on the main monitor. But smaller things open so about 1/3 of the window is on the Sony. Earlier versions of Preview work just fine. Not sure what Apple did, but let us hope they fix it. Send feedback:

    If they get enough feedback it is more likely to be fixed.

  • How do I turn off live preview during HDV firewire captures?

    My cpu uses a lot of cpu during HDV captures, and I know that a lot of it has to do with the live preview (ie, the window that shows you what is being captured). How do i turn this live preview off? Thanks

    If the metronome got recorded on your track from a mic with it coming out of your speakers (the only way it could have been recorded) there's no way to take it out. When you say you turned it off, did you just uncheck it in the control menu? Or did you go to the preferences and change its behavior there? I have mine set for recording only, not on playback. But if you turned it off in the control menu, then it should not be present, unless you inadvertently recorded it from your speakers as I described, and it is not going anywhere. This is one reason it is best to monitor your recording with headphones and not speakers, since anything that comes out of them will be recorded with a live mic close by.

  • Windows 10 shows the 2nd monitor has 1920x1080 but actually it is 50% less around 1080x840

    The resolution of the 2nd monitor, a Vizio VF551XVT 55-inch 1920x1080 HDTV connected through HDMI cable, shows 1920x1080 (Recommended) on the Windows 10’s Display Screen Resolution setting utility but the true resolution of the 2nd monitor is less than 50%; around 1080x840. All applications on the 2nd monitor displayed their header & boarder frames twice wider on screen, which waste/occupy lots of the 2nd monitor’s display area. Please advise how to correct this critical lower than the set/expected resolution problem of th 2nd monitor.  Thanks. The 1st/primary monitor in this case is a mobile PC Display (1920x1080), Lenovo Z710 Intel i7 4710MQ notebook with NVIDIA 840M GPU. Previously running under the Windows 8.1 OS with the same configuration, the 2nd monitor resolution was also displayed incorrectly but just initially right after the Windows 8.1 reboot, i.e. 2nd monitor shows 1920x1080 resolution but actually the 2nd monitor is about the same as Windows 10, the actual resolution is much/50% fewer than 1920x1080. However, the resolution of the 2nd monitor (HDTV) under Windows 8.1 can be corrected (worked around) by switching the main display from 1st to 2nd monitor, then switching main display back from 2nd to 1st, but such Win 8.1 work around doesn't work for Windows 10 OS . Also, please advise whether Lenovo, MS Windows or NVIDIA is responsible for the displays re-position issue. The re-position issue is, when a TV, PC, shared 2nd monitor is disconnected to watching TV, etc., Windows OS currently moves all the display positions, both active and minimized displays, from 2nd monitor to 1st/main monitor, but ideally would be just moving/re-position the active displays to the main/1st monitor and maintain/leave those minimized display positions intact, so when 2nd monitor reconnects back (done watching TV), user doesn’t need to re-align all the displays back to 2nd monitor again. Thanks for helps. 

    If you won't lose anything and if it is not a big hassle, I would re-install.
    Mainly because Win 10 TP is, after all, a beta OS. Too many possibilities of bugs and glitches. It is better off to reinstall.
    The latest build 9879 has a ISO download link. Use the ISO and burn it to a bootable DVd. Then use the DVD to do a clean reinstall.

  • Can't run flash player in full screen on 2nd monitor

    Hi all! I have a laptop with dual video displays. The main
    display is the laptop's LCD and the 2nd display is a 19" LCD
    connected via VGA cable. I want to let a Flash movie loop endlessly
    on the second monitor while I continue to work on the laptop. When
    I drag Flash Player 8 over to the 2nd monitor and start the movie,
    I can hit maxmize and it will take up the entire 2nd montior as it
    should...with the file options and boarder around as expected. I
    then hit Ctrl-F to go full screen and it snaps directly to the
    laptop's primary monitor. I tried it at work where my desktop has 2
    displays and the same thing happens. I need to force Flash player
    to run full screen on the 2nd monitor and cannot find a way to
    accomplish this. Any help is appreciated because it's driving me
    nuts. I can always make the external monitor my primary but then
    the start button and all my icons move there too and that is not
    acceptable. Thanx!

    Seriously? No one has any thoughts about this? I can't
    believe I would be the first to come across this issue.

  • MacBook Pro performance issues w/2nd monitor and FCP7

    I have this MacBook Pro bought brand-new in January 2010:
      Model Name: MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,2
      Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz
      Number Of Processors: 1
      Total Number Of Cores: 2
      L2 Cache: 6 MB
      Memory: 8 GB
      Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
    and until today had never attached a second monitor to it. Today I hooked up my Samsung 24" to do some dual screen editing in Final Cut 7.0.3. I was unable to play back my video at full speed in the second monitor, and after a few seconds of skippy playback I'd get that error message about unable to play back video at full speed and to check my RT settings. I was using a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. My computer has no issues playing the video in the laptop's monitor at any resolution and any quality settings (I've never changed the RT settings or anything else in the menu ever but I tried every combination this time). I then tried using my TV as a 2nd monitor with an HDMI adapter. Same performance issues. I then tried my friend's newer 13" MBP 8,1 and it performed flawlessly with the same project & footage. I feel like my $3,000 computer should outperform a $1,200 one even if mine is a year and a half older. Any advice?

    Wow, you posted this perfectly to coincide with an identical problem, albeit using Logic Pro 9.1.5 rather than FCP.
    Last week, I purchased a 23" external monitor to use alongside my "flagship" 2011 15" hi-res, 2.3 i7 Macbook Pro with 8Gb of RAM.
    It is connected via a mini-DVI to D-sub analog (not that that should matter?) and all appeared fine.
    The first issue I had was with my MBP's fan now running CONSTANTLY, when I have the second monitor attached. Even when the machine is completely idle.
    When using the machine to record audio, this is a fairly hefty problem and not something I had anticipated - indeed why would I anticipate such a thing?
    What is far, far worse though is that over the last few days I have had repeated problems with performance drop-outs and errors in Logic and I have trying to fathom out why. Realising that the only major system change made, was the above monitor connection, I ran some tests.
    I restarted my MBP, no other apps were running and with my new 23" monitor attached acting as main display with MBP built in display on as secondary
    I loaded up a fairly demanding Logic project which was hitting 40% to 60% CPU usage when using the built in MBP display last week
    I ran activity monitor and had CPU usage history open
    The above project now repeatedly overloads and playback halts in a given 8 bar section - with CPU at 80% most of the time
    I disconnected the external display, no shut down, I just let the machine switch to the built in 15".
    Started the same project, the same 8 bar section and hey presto - CPU usage back down to 40% to 60%
    The above was reflected in the CPU usage history with the graph showing CPU use down by about a half, when running this Logic project WITHOUT the external display.
    There is a very useful benchmark Logic project that has been used as a test by many users to gauge Logic performance on given Apple hardware.
    The project has about 100 tracks pre-configured with CPU intensive plugins, designed to tax the CPU.
    The idea is that you load up the project with tracks muted, press play and then unmute the tracks steadily until Logic us unable to play contiunously because of a system performance error.
    On my MBP, with the external monitor NOT attached, I can play back around 50 of the audio tracks in this benchmark project.
    With the monitor attached, I can get about 22 tracks playing.... which is actually a far worse a performance drop (-50% I think!?) than with the first example!
    I did also try with just the external monitor attached and not the MBP display and performance was about 10% better than with dual monitors - so still extremely poor, to say the least.
    This machine is the flagship MBP and has a dedicated AMD Radeon HD6750 GPU which should take care of most if not ALL graphics processing - I mean it's capable of running some pretty demanding games!
    Putting aside the issue of constant fan noise, there is no reason AT ALL, why using an external monitor should tax the i7 CPU this way - it's not as though Logic is graphically demanding... far from it.
    I am on 10.6.8, Logic 9.1.5, all apps up to date via "Software Update".
    I will of course, be contacting Apple...

    Hi There,
    I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
    The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
    I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
    Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
    Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
    There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.
