Playback slow on second monitor.

I am posting this in hardware because this is not just a premiere issue. My second monitor, which is identical to my first monitor, plays videos very stuttery.....Sometimes it wont, but most of the time it does. WHen playing back with windows media player or vlc media player, same thing. Premiere has the issue and so does windows. So I am wondering what the cause could be? I have updated nvidia drivers on my gtx285 to the latest. I have reset all settings I can think of.....
Thanks,
MrD

Phew....

Premiere CC won't playback on my second monitor

I can use the second monitor for putting anything else (like a window) but it doesn't playback the footage I'm using like before. The problem started when I updated Premiere several months ago and I can't find a solution. It does recognize the monitor and it is selected for playback; I've tried turning that off, rebooting Premiere and then turning it on again and nothing happens. Also tried the "Enable Transmission" option, wich is on also, but still doesn't work.

What is your exact brand/model graphics adapter (ATI or nVidia or ???)
What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?
Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?
-If Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information
-you need to go direct to the vendor web site and check updates for yourself

No playback on second monitor all of a sudden (on several computers here)

Hey Guys,
Just yesterday several of our computer were all of a sudden not able to display playback on their second monitors...
This is very strange considering nothing was changed. Everything is set up correctly, with the monitor switched on and displaying the desktop.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.. at the moment I have resorted to displaying the program monitor on the second one.

Thanks Kevin!
I followed the instructions in that link you sent and that seems to have tricked it back into working...
Here they are below for anyone with troubles:
"I talked with Tech support and they were able to help me solve the issue. The solution involved moving my program onto the second monitor and then reversing the option setting (Ie, make the primary monitor my playback monitor)... after that I switched it back by moving the program to the primary monitor and set the secondary monitor as my playback monitor. Seems to work fine now.

I'm about to buy a 27" i-Mac. I would like to connect my 30" Cinema Display to it as a second monitor. What will I need to do that? Will this slow down the overal performance?

The new iMacs do not come with a MiniDisplayPort, they have Thunderbolt, so unless you are talking about purchasing one of the previous generation iMacs such as this refurbished model in the online Apple store, it won't work. And yes, if you are going to get the full range of video resolutions you will need the Dual-Link version.
For details see the store's web page on the Dual-Link display adapter.

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

Sounds like this problem:

Full screen playback on second monitor results in having to force quit Premier if a window opens on the second monitor.

Run into this problem a few times now. If I have full screen playback going to my second monitor, and then I try to do something like link media and the link media window opens on that second monitor I can't figure out a way to get to it. I end up having to force quit. Because the link media window causes all other application buttons to disable while it is open I have not been able to find a solution other than force quitting, reopen and disable full screen playback, open link media window and move it to the other monitor and then again enable full screen playback.
Has anyone run into this? Am I missing an easy solution?

You need to set up your Graphics Card Application first eg A and B Monitors , side by side etc.
In my case..a NVidea Display Application does this from the Control Panel
Then the second monitor will appear in display setting (Premiere).
My second monitor is entirely dedicated to full screen playback display.

Lightroom 3Beta slow to load to second monitor

I have been blaming a slow computer for this problem but I compared the loading to lightroom 2.5 and it has no problems.
I hsve a nvidia 512mg card which my hardware guy said should be more than enough.
My photos are kept on an external drive but this is no different from 2.5.
Any suggestions.
I also have an export problem to CS4 but have read you are working on that.

I apologize, I'm a little confused by your response.
Are you saying your primary monitor is a wacom, and is viewing an image in Loupe mode?
If so, what is your second monitor, and what are you viewing there?
Also - what size is each monitor, and what resolution do you have set for each?
If I'm misunderstanding, please clarify.
Thanks,
Becky

Very slow web page scroll on second monitor

I have two monitors. When I move firefox window to the second montior - scrolling of web pages is very slow. Sometimes it freeze computer (I can not move the mouse cursor).
I was checked other applications like MS Word, Chrome.
This problem is only firefox problem.
This problem apears when the part of firefox window is showing on the second monitor (even 50 pixels)

I have 3 monitors, and had this problem on the two that weren't the primary. Turning off "use hardware acceleration" worked, *BUT* only after I restarted Firefox. Thanks to those who found this workaround!

Connect a g5imac to a g4 powerbook as a second monitor

Is this possible?
I want to use the laptop as a bigger screen to aid in editing, is it possible?
I have a powermac g5imac with 2 gig ram in.
Thanks in advance.

Andy simply answered your very specific question. Now, if you want to hook up a second monitor (not the laptop as you first asked) to your iMac then you may get a few longer answers. Like, Maybe.
If you are editing DV then you should be able to connect your DV cam or deck via FW then connect a monitor to your camera or deck. However, this will just give you a playback monitor, you will not be able to extend your desktop to this monitor. With an iMac I think that is impossible to do because of the lack of additional video (DVI or VGA) outputs.
Long enough?

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.

MBPR as Second Monitor?

I know its possible to use the iMac as a second monitor through target display mode....however is it possible to use my 2012 MBPR as the second monitor for my iMac? I'm trying to edit a video and could use the extra screen real estate.

Yes, but not in a normal way.
You cannot use a MacBook Pro as an external monitor in the same way as a normal external monitor, nor by Target Display Mode.
If you are desperate, you can install a utility like ScreenRecycler or AirDisplay (the version for Mac, not iPad) that makes a Mac into an external monitor using your local network. But this is much slower than a normal monitor connection. It may not be suitable for situations that require fast refresh.

IMac as second monitor

I have a 27 iMac and a 24 iMac.
Can I, and how do I, go about using the 24 iMac as second monitor?

Niel, forgive my ignorance, I am trying to wrap my mind around this.
I have a 2009 24-inch, and a 2010 27-inch. The easiest solution would be to run male to male mini display cable between both machines and use the 24, with the 27 as the second monitor.
However, if it is not too much hassle, the opposite could be better.
To use the 27 and have the 24 as the second monitor, you say I would have to "set up a network".
Is that merely running a cable, or what exactly is involved?
And, after setting up a network, I would use the ScreenSaver application.
Presuming that I was successful in setting up and running the 27 via this method, would the ultimate result be slower than running the 27 as the second monitor?
I do not do any games or graphics, primarily making books with CS5.

Enable/disable second monitor Mavericks - only software solution.

I am looking for a way to disable a second monitor (plugged into the Display Port of a 2011 Mac mini) without unplugging it. Does anyone know of a software solution?
When I am working I like that second monitor for desktop space, but other times (watching Netflix for example) the second monitor (in my case TV Sony Bravia) taxes the video card to much and degrades video playback performance. It would be great to have a software switch to ignore the second monitor. Right now, the only way I have found to do this is to unplug the display port cable from TV.
SwitchResX doesn’t recognize any of monitor or TV in Mavericks, so the app is useless. It would be fantastic if anyone know software solution (I really would like to have plugged second monitor all the time).
Thanx

I've been using SwitchResX for quite a while, sometimes buggy but very useful: http://www.madrau.com

Premiere Pro CS6 Mac - Second monitor stopped working

I have been using CS6 with a dual monitor setup for a few weeks. I have enabled the second display for video playback in the settings and everything worked great. Now for some reason the second display isn't working anymore with Premiere Pro for video playback (It won't full screen preview) even though the option for my second monitor is checked in the preferences. I didn't make any changes to my system that I know of. I'd really like to figure this out because it is quite annoying and frustrating that it worked perfectly 2 weeks ago and now it doesn't work at all. (Have restarted system already) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I talked with Tech support and they were able to help me solve the issue. The solution involved moving my program onto the second monitor and then reversing the option setting (Ie, make the primary monitor my playback monitor)... after that I switched it back by moving the program to the primary monitor and set the secondary monitor as my playback monitor. Seems to work fine now.

Premiere Pro CC will not recognize second monitor

Greetings:
I am having an issue with using my second monitor for output in PP CC. I have done the following based on another post:
Try these two steps to verify Transmit is enabled:
1. Go to the Program Monitor panel menu> Verify 'Enable Transmit' has a checkmark.
2. Go to Preferences> Playback> Verify the your 2nd monitor is present and checked.
What I get when I do this is a black screen that covers the upper left side of my screen in 1920x1080, the size of my other monitor. When I save a project and use my second monitor for a panel, say for my assets, I am able to drag the panel over and use it, but when I save and restart, the panel is always on my primary monitor:

I have tried different confgurations in Preferences->Playback, but get the same reult every time. I have to force quit when I get the black box, as I am unable to access any other PP options. Has anyone else run into this, and if so, is there a solution? I have seen that there has been a 'transmit' issue, but that does not seem to resolve this particular problem. Thanks!

I do hate replying to my own post but I thought I would post here how I fixed my problem in case anybody else ends up here with a similar one.
To be clear, I have 2 monitors and when I enabled transmit the full screen playback would be overlayed over my Premiere workspace on monitor 1 even though I had specified monitor 2 as my video device in Preferences > Playback.
It appears that at some time in the last few months (I have a vague memory of this) I had decided to check out the 'improvements' in the way Mavericks handled multiple monitors. I created a couple of spaces in Mission Control at which point the Applications in the dock gained an extended OPTIONS menu on the context menu (the one that pops up when your right click on the app icon in the dock). I knew this extended menu was there because the Apple website told me so.
The extended OPTIONS menu on my 2 monitor setup now contained ASSIGN TO > ALL DESKTOPS; DESKTOP ON DISPLAY 1; DESKTOP ON DISPLAY 2; NONE.
After trying out the different options to see if the operation was consistent with Apple's explanation and whether I wanted to work with spaces I decided that I didn't so I removed the spaces I had created in Mission Control.
Removing the spaces removed those extra ASSIGN TO menu options although I wasn't aware of that at the time.
A few days later I went to enable TRANSMIT when editing in Premiere Pro (which I had used successfully before) only to have the problem described in this thread. I stupidly credited this problem to a recent CC update and when the CC 2014 update didn't correct it I started to look elsewhere.
Cut to the end and the solution - - after proving that a new test Mac user account did not exhibit the problem I returned to my user account, enabled some spaces in Misson Control, changed the ASSIGN TO menu to NONE for Premiere Pro (the default) and then the TRANSMIT function worked correctly, the full frame playback was assigned to the correct window.
Ok, the last paragraph may suggest I knew what to do but I didn't, I had spent a lot looking in the user library to look for differences until I stumbled across this.
