Full screen preview with one monitor

Hello,
I'm using Premiere Pro CS5 on a Mac with a single monitor. I would like to see the full screen preview on this monitor, hiding all GUI elements.
By reading around, I could only find the suggestion of selecting the Preview pane and press the ~ or ` key. Unfortunatly, it seems that this shortcut only triggers the Maximize or Return to the Original Size commands. GUI elements remain in the display.
Is there some preference to select somewhere?
Thank you, Paolo

That's as close as you can get with Premiere; it doesn't do a single-monitor fullscreen the way FCP does.

I want to have my itunes visualizer on my TV which is connected via HDMI adapter, and still have access to full screen itunes and my desktop on the main display.
Any suggestions? App downloads that can do this? Please let me know.

You can't do it. This has been an issue since Lion.

[Non IE Regression] Support for full screen mode with multiple monitors

This seems to be a regression with Flash Player v11.2.202.x (for all other browsers).
With Internet Explorer it is still working.

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!

FULL SCREEN PREVIEW WITH SPACE-BAR INTERMITTANT/BUGGY.Ref. Bridge CS6/5.0.2.4:

Ref. Bridge CS6/5.0.2.4:
Win-7-64
I've been using the Space-bar for Full Screen Preview for years, & thousands of times with no problems whatsoever.
Suddenly it's become intermittent, sometimes it works "normally", other times I have to tap the Space Bar several times---The image "jitters" on the screen, & eventually works---sometimes takes "a few" taps, sometimes a half dozen or more.
Purging Cache didn't help, nor did replacing the Keyboard with another one.
I don't recall if the CS6 disk has a Bridge "Repair" function.
Regards,
Leigh

I deleted Preferences---Seems to be working now.

Full Screen Problem With Dual Monitor Viewing

I have a 64 Bit system, Chrome browser and with flash player built in. I am attempting to view videos on a 2nd monitor while working on the primary monitor. I have tried this on various sites, TNT.tv, USANetworks.com, etc... I select full screen viewing. A message is displayed to exit full screen press escape. However, when I attempt to do anything else automatically exit full screen on the second monitor. This should not be an issue and with the way most people view video online, they are doing so on a 2nd monitor or TV. I have done a google search and it is a common problem, but there is no solution that seems to work.

I have just posted the same question - missed yours.
Adobe could you take a look into this - I think solving this problem can't be that hard.

Full screen issues with dual monitors in safari.

I have my 21 inch iMac connected to my 42" panasonic LCD TV. Up until recently I've been watching TV via my sling box back in the states. (I'm a soldier stationed in Germany). When I go to a full screen mode in Safari, I get full screen in my iMac and not the TV. Even when the window is in the TV. This never happened before, it's almost as if the iMac sees the TV but makes all full screen video available only on itself rather than where ever the window may be. Safari help tells me I can choose where I want full screen by swiping on the magic mouse, but I can't get it to work. How do I get my video to stay on my TV when I double click on the video instead of having it jump back to the iMac?

Reading your post full screen mode is working as Apple intended it to. When you set full screen mode on an app that has the ability it makes it full screen on the Mac and any other monitor is left blank while viewing that app. Currently there are no adjustments to change this. I would recommend providing feedback to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback to let them know what you anticipated.

Bridge cs6 why do the photos have poor quality in full screen preview ?

Hi
windows 7 64bit , bridge cs6
well i load 20mp or 22mp pixel photos , raw and jpg
i select the images i want to watch and with the spacebar i go in full screen preview
but in fit to screen they look bad , i mean with no crips , no details
but in full screen preview 100% the photos look great
why ?
is there an option to watch them in fit to screen , full screen preview with a great quality
thanks

why is it this option disabled? do the generate monitor sized previews increase a lot the cache a lot!
Potentially, yes. The standard Preview is 1024 pixels, longest size. Some people (like Omke) have displays 2560 pixels longest side, potentially increasing file size by over 500%.

Full screen preview in AE CS6

Hi everyone,
I'm testing the CS6 trial right now before to purchase, and I'm wondering how can I get Full Screen preview on a monitor.
I just swithed to Lion on a Mac Pro, with 2 graphic cards. I have 2 monitors for my user interface, and I have a great third monitor with Color Space management feature. This configuration was working last week with Snow Leopard and CS5.5, but not anymore with Lion and CS6.
Why?
What I was doing: I was diging into Preferences/Video Preview, I was selecting Computer Monitor Only, and from there, in the Output Mode I was able to select my monitor.
Now when I come here, in CS6, it's grey and I can't select anything there...
Any idea?
Thanks in advance

May simply be a compatibility issue with whatever graphics card you are using and/or Apple's Cinema Desktop stuff in a more general sense... pöerhaps Dave and Rick can shed some light on this. I'm not a Mac guy, after all...

Can't check photos to import in full screen preview

Hi All,
Bit of a frusting bug, unless I misunderstand it, but when I import photos using Aperture from a SD card, I can only do so in the tiled view (max 9 photos to a screen on my 21" Mac)
I'd much prefer to select the files to import in the much larger single photo view so I can see them better before deciding to import.
As in the screenshot above, there is a check box in the single photo preview, to the bottom left, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Only photos checked in the list or tiled view are added to the photos to be imported.
Any ideas why this doesn't work (or what the check box in the single photo preview is for if not this??)
Thanks in advance.

Just to be clear, it might be easier to screenshot!
I tick the checkbox in the large import preview - notice the import checked remains greyed out - it doesn't recognise it:
If I then go back to the grid view. The photo is still checked, but Aperture still doesn't recognise that it is to be imported:
However, if I stay in the grid view, remove the tick and add it again, Aperture import does recognise it and adds it to the import list. I can now use the import button.
Not the end of the world obviously, but when going through hundreds of photos, it would be very handy to scroll through full screen previews with the arrow keys so I can see them better and check them to be imported as I go.

How to choose which monitor displays "full screen preview"

I have a dual monitor setup and have Bridge configurated so that on the left monitor I have the panes "maps", "filter", "keywords" and "content" and on the right monitor (which is a better and callibrated monitor) I have the pane "preview".
Now if I select one or more tumbnails in the "content" pane on the left monitor, they show up in the "preview" pane on the right monitor.
Until recent, when I selected a single tumbnail in the "content" pane (left monitor) it showed up in the "preview" pane (right monitor) and upon hitting the space bar it was shown full screen on the same right monitor and upon left-click on the full screen immage, I got a 100% preview, again still on the right monitor.
Now the problem is that suddenly, upon hitting the space bar, the full screen preview is no longer shown on the right monitor but is shown on the left monitor. (Same problem for the 100% preview).
I hope I made clear of myself and that anyone knows how I can change this back again?

The window was indeed expanded to both monitors and the monitors were aranged correctly but upon your sugestion I temporarely switched everything back to default "one monitor setup" and then back to "two monitor with extended window". I also did a reset of my workspace as sugested.
The result is that everything is back and working as it shood. Problem is solved.
Thank you very much.

It's a Magic Mouse question. I have set this up in Preferences by ticking Swipe between pages with one finger and also Swipe between full-screen apps with two fingers, however when I try to do the latter, the 2 finger swipe will take me from the app that I am on to the dashboard only and not to my other open apps.
I also find that Smart zoom only works with some apps, for instance not with Word docs or email.
How can I correct this please?

Just figured out it also does not work with the Mail app.

FR: Full Screen Preview of Multi-Camera Angles

The Program monitor can be viewed in Full Screen mode, as we all know, but when the Program monitor is displaying Multi-camera angles, it can only viewed in windowed mode. Full Screen mode no longer works in this situation. This is inconsistent, illogical and unproductive, thus my new FR for Adobe to allow the Program Monitor to be viewed in Full Screen mode, regardless of what it's displaying:
(feel free to copy/paste and send as your own FR here: www.adobe.com/go/wish)
How would you like the feature to work?
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature: Full Screen Preview for Camera Angles
How would you like the feature to work?
The Program and Source Monitors can both be toggled in/out of Full Screen mode with a single keyboard shortcut, a fantastic feature. Why then can't the Program Monitor display in Full Screen when it's displaying Camera Angles, either with the Multi-Camera Preview Monitor on or off? A window that can be viewed in Full Screen should always allow full screen preview, regardless of what it is displaying!
Why is this feature important to you?
Consistency and a logical, productive UI is beneficial to all editors. The fact that the Program Monitor window can be viewed in Full Screen in one instance but not another, is illogical, inconsistent, and a productivity hindrance that should be fixed.
Ideally, Adobe could give us a separate, Full Screen capable window for displaying Camera Angles. This way users could display their Camera Angles on one monitor, and their Program Monitor on a second monitor, all in Full Screen mode, without the visual polution of a windowed interface whenever that interface does not contribute to the editing task at hand! Here is my thread regarding that request: Help Improve Premiere! FR: Separate, maximizable Multi-camera view. However, should Adobe be unable or unwilling to provide us with the suggested interface that would provide maximum customizability/flexibility, at the very least having the option to view our Program Monitor in Full screen mode when viewing Camera Angles would be useful.

The iSight is either 640x480 (older MBPs) or 1280x1024 (newer MBPs). Displaying it 'full screen' especially in an older MBP (which is what you have if you're posting in the correct forum) would result in a horribly pixelated image, not 'high resolution'. The apps that show the iSight feed are showing it at its native resolution, and that's a limitation of the hardware. If you need higher resolution, you can attach a higher resolution video camera (for example, my Panasonic DV camcorder connects via FireWire and can be used as a webcam).

Full screen preview and slideshow are blurry / fuzzy

Hi folks-
I just upgraded from CS2 to CS4, in part to improve efficiency of selecting photos - I wanted the zoom and loupe features. Unfortunately a very basic function has been compromised and I'm hoping there's a solution: In both full-screen preview and slideshow the full-screen image is notably blurry. This is a problem for two reasons: 1. I can't judge pictures accurately by just flipping through them in full-screen mode (without zooming to 100% to see if they are well-focused). 2. I can't use Slideshow for, well, slideshows. I've had to resort to keeping another app (like Windows Picture Viewer) open just to be able to quickly flip through and evaluate images full-screen or to show slideshows.
I've tried setting all the options related to image quality (they mostly have to do with caching thumbnails and speeding 100% viewing); I've tried purging the cache files. Nothing helps.
Any ideas? Thanks!

It seems to me that there is something wrong with it.
I am trying Bridge CS4 as a viewer for my JPEG files.
I also noticed that the previews were fuzzy. I activated the high-quality previews as well as the option to generate the previews at screen size.
Here's what I noticed. I went to check out a specific photo that is quite sharp with a number of straight lines, angles, details, where it's very easy to detect a lack of sharpness. That photo immediately looked fuzzy to me, which didn't jive with my memory of it. I quickly opened it in other viewers, which displayed it as intended with all the expected sharpness.
So, I went through the settings to see where the problem could be and I immediately thought of checking the box to get software previews instead of hardware, restarted the app, purged the cache, tried again. There my photo had recovered its sharpness, or at least most of it. I thought I found the culprit, but not quite.
I went to browse other photos and found one in particular with a lot of fine detail (hair) and that photo also didn't display all the sharpness that it should have (I was still using software mode). The difference was very slight and to make sure of it it required A/B comparison between Bridge and PS, but there was a difference.
Now I tried the opposite. I went back to hardware rendering mode, restarted, purged the cache, tried again. That second photo looked alright in preview, but the previous photo looked fuzzy again.
So, it doesn't work the same way for each photo...
What's the main difference between the first photo, obviously fuzzy in hardware mode, and the second one, alright in hardware mode but slightly fuzzier in software? The ratio. The first one is a vertical photo, the second one is horizontal (close to square).
I quickly checked other vertical photos and they showed the same behavior...
Now staying in hardware mode, I noticed something else. When I preview the vertical photo and click on it, or double click, it quickly jumps, switching between 2 versions of the photo: the one displayed originally (fuzzy) and another one, with a very slightly different size, which is sharp. During that manipulation it also briefly displays "100%" at the top of the screen. It doesn't stick when you click and immediately switches back, so it looks like a glitch.
Now in software mode, I tried the same, this time you can click once on the photo (which is originally displayed *almost* sharp). When you click once, it displays "100%" but also displays a very slightly smaller version that is clearly fuzzy. Clicking again goes back to the other, less fuzzy one, but doesn't display "100%" this time.
Doing the same test on horizontal photos shows no change that I can see.
So, it seems to me that in the preview mode, Bridge has trouble displaying some photos (vertical ones?) in their actual resolution (100%)
and since there is a slight resizing going on, it brings fuzziness. This doesn't explain the very slight fuzziness seen on horizontal photos in software mode.
Now I'll mention, for those still awake, that I saw no fuzziness on the same vertical photos when I go to Review Mode with *hardware* rendering. Photos there are sharp. Now if I go to the review mode with software rendering enabled, vertical photos are not 100% sharp (akin to the small difference I mentioned earlier while in software mode), while they are sharper in preview.
To sum up, it seems that the only configuration that gives me consistently 100% sharp (=as they were meant to be after post-processing) photos no matter what their orientation, is when I stay in hardware rendering mode and use the Review Mode, instead of preview.
This all really smells like a bug.
For info, I am using Windows 7 and an ATI HD4850 card, and this only about processed JPEG files, not RAW files.
Perhaps the preview is really meant as a quick preview and not a tool to view final photos at 100% accuracy...

Full screen preview drops frames

Hi all,
A continuation of the thread I opened here (with hardware specs for information):
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/657008?tstart=0
Whilst I resolved the tearing issue secribed in the previous thread I still can't get smooth playback on the third full screen preview display and I'd like some basic advice as to what I could do:
A couple of things I have tried - firstly I tried a basic sequence with a spinning graphic (in order to rule out any issues with disk/network access), and then also tried two screens rather than three (so only one graphic card was in operation), a 60p/30p project with screens set to 60Hz and a 50p/25p project with screens set to 50Hz.
All to no avail - the full screen preview drops frames, especially with 50p content - 25p is better but every 20 seconds or so frames are dropped. Audio is always fine, regardless of the source, BTW.
As a reminder, this is a 12 core i7 with 2 x Quadro FX3800, all unnecessary services disabled, 12Gb RAM, CS5 5.0.3, latest WHQL Nvidia drivers.
Not sure if 5.5 improves this in any regard as I'm still waiting for my licence key.
Video playback outside of premiere is perfect, 1080p50 plays fine full screen on any display through windows media player/VLC.
Any suggestions please - again I wonder if a Blackmagic Intensity or similar would help?
Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Could anybody have a go a reproducing the issue (a simple spinning or sliding jpg demonstates the issue easily and simply)
Thanks all
Sacha Goodwin.

There exist no 12 core i7's. The max is hexa-core, but in your previous thread you said Xeon X5670. So what is it?
Well spotted, my bad - it is indeed 2 x hexa-core X5670's - which of course is 12 cores in total.
I still suspect your Editshare NAS.
I'd say unlikely since - we've replaced it with something else, also:
I tried a basic sequence with a spinning graphic (in order to rule out any issues with disk/network access)
and at any rate I tried it as a local project on local disks and it made no difference.
For graphic read plain color matte and basic SD res JPG (same results with either)
What happens when you increase memory to 24 GB?
No idea as I don't have access to any - strikes me as odd though to think anyone would need 24Gb or RAM just to display a rotating still smoothly.
Premiere is showing 300Mb of RAM, total RAM in use when everything is loaded and running is 3Gb, 9Gb free sitting there twiddling it's virtual thumbs.
BTW I should also mention that this happens even on SD projects, not just HD ones. Also watching the task manager shows virtually CPU usage, no disk and no network access during playback (as I would expect). No peaks in any graphs correllating with the dropped frames. Also enabling/disabling MPE Hardware assist makes no difference.
Sacha.
