Program Monitor playback resolution

In the program monitor 1/8 and 1/16 are grayed out. How do I enable them?

"Not all resolutions are available for all sequence types. For Standard Definition sequences, such as DV, only Full and 1/2 are available. For many HD sequences up to 1,080 frame size, Full, 1/2, and 1/4 are available. For sequences with frame sizes larger than 1,080, such as RED, all the fractions are available."

Program Monitor Freezes

Essentially, while editing SD footage, on the Premiere Pro CS5 timeline, in a SD 720 x 480 resolution project, the Program Monitor image freezes.
It does not seem to matter what I am doing such a playback, adding a transition, color correction, shortening the length of a clip, or cropping an image. It makes no difference. The Program Monitor just freezes.This happens twice in every hour or so of editing. There does not seem to be a timing variable to this problem, or it is not consistent.
The timeline is still useable and the audio continues playing, the mouse moves, I can access clips on the Source Monitor and play them. Nothing else changes. I can change the playback resolution or make any other monitor changes, although they do not show up since the image at the time of the freeze stays in the monitor. Refreshing does not work. Restarting the program does not work. All changes since the last freeze can be saved since the Save function still works. I just cannot edit and the only way that I can proceed is to reboot the computer.
Adobe Service has escalated this case #182091487, back and forth for almost two months. This is putting a crimp in my production schedule.
This happens sporadically, although on one occasion, I was actually able to demostrate the freeze to Adobe Service while they were on line.

Screen saver is (NONE) so probably not a factor
My laptop is used for editing while travelling. They would not let me carry
my desktop on the the plane. Complained that the three monitors took up too
much space.
Do not really have much stacked up on the timeline. Mostly one, sometimes
two and on the odd occasion, a third track for perhaps a title or PIP.
However, I am using colour correction via Auto levels and ProDad's Mercalli
2.0 stabilizer (incredible plug-in). Never have Red or Yellow bars over the
footage on the timeline without applying these effects. Mercury engine has
really helped with that issue.
When my 'Program' monitor freezes up, I am still able to save, playback
(audio only) the timeline, and even play clips on the source monitor. It has
been suggested that I reduce the Program monitor playback resolution. I will
experiment with that.
I will also follow your suggestion and render more often when these Red
/Yellow bars do appear. I appreciate the suggestions.

Premiere CS5 - Project Monitor playback is jerky after resintall of operating system and CS5

PROBLEM: Premiere CS5 - Project Monitor playback is jerky
This had NOT been an issue prior to reinstalling the operating system and all software. I have read numerous articles on the forums and have tried everything I can find...with no results.
STEPS TAKEN TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM:
I have scoured the articles here http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=choppy%20video&cat=support&pr oduct=premierepro and others at Cretive Cow
I have installed all updates for CS5 Master Collection, immediately following a fresh install of the operating system and SC5 Master Collection.
I have ensured that sequence settings match resolution and frame rates of footage - the problem persists.
I have tested by importing both standard def AVI files created from tape and high def SONY MP4 files - the problem persists.
I have ensured the latest Video drivers are installed (clean installation selected, so that the Windows default would be removed) - the problem persists.
I have tried the 3D settings in NVIDIA control panel | Program Settings tab... selected Adobe Premiere Pro from the drop down menu | and chaged 'Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration from the value of 'Multiple Display performance' to the value of 'single display performance'; although, I ran two monitors before using this latest NVIDIA video driver and I didn't experience this jerky footage issue - the problem persisted after affecting that change; so, I switched it back.
Since I have 96 GB of RAM, I don't use a pagefile. A zero MB page file is the same setting I had prior to rebuilding the C: Regardless of whether I have a pagefile or not, the problem persists.
I have tried creating a fresh user profile, where the user profile is created on the C: drive by default; and, where I left it there on C: to test for the jerky playback in a new PrPR project - the problem persists.
Regarding the C: (system drive) and why I reinstalled everything, it had become unstable and was locking up. I ran DISK ERROR CHECKING with the FIX parameter and the system was still locking up on me. Keep in mind that the System drive is a solid state drive. Anyhow, I had no choice but to dive in and reinstall everything. I wiped the system partition of the SSD using quick format and started installing the operating system. Now, I've read the CLAIM that this cuases performance issues; but, the only place I see issues is in the video monitor playback in PrPr. Everything else - Office applications...printing...browsing the Internet...works just fine, everything is responsive, whereas, I couldn't do ANYTHING with it before.

I'VE RESOLVED THE PROBLEM!
PREFACE:
OK, I am hoping that through this week-long Operating-System-and-Software-reinatalltion excerise of mine, I have revealed something that everyone -- whom have been cursing Adobe over -- can apply to their systems to resolve this jerky video problem within PremierePro CS5 (and quite possibly other versions, too).
If you've read my post above, you've seen all the steps I've taken to resolve the problem. I've read many posts, some of which have mentioned hardware upgrade / opitmization steps that one may take to enhance performance, and hopefully resolve the problem. I've read where people have taken these steps and have still experienced the problem...and then they curse Adobe. Fer-shame, fer-shame, fer-shame! (nod to Gomer Pyle).
In my case, I knew it wasn't an Adobe issue, as it had worked flawlessly before; and, it wouldn't require a hardware upgrade or reconfigureation, as my system is completely maxed out with two processors, a system drive and a hardware RAID5 array, a CUDA-suported nVIDIA 4800 FX card, and 96 GB of RAM. bla bla bla, puke...whatever. Bottom line is this:
It's not a software issue. It's not and Adobe issue; and Gawd no! It's NOT a PC vs. Mac issue! HA HA. The software had worked swimmingly well prior to the reinstallation / 'lobotomy' I perfomed on the system drive.
SOLUTION FOR ME:
Download and install the updated drivers for the motherboard. Mine is an Intel Workstation Board S5520SC. Intel has an INTEL DRIVER UPDATE UTILITY which automatically scaned my Intel system and identified drivers which needed updating. A very handy, time-saving tool!!! Here's the URL: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?iid=dc_iduu
The scan revealed two Intel drivers needing an update:
Intel Chipset
Wired Networking
and one non-intel driver:
Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-fi
I downloaded and installed these three drivers, rebooted, and tested PremierePro, and was extatic to find this resolved the problem.
If you have a motherboard from another manufacturer, then you may want to navigate over to their wibsite to locate chipset and other updated drivers for your motherboard.
ROOT CAUSE:
While Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate was able to install certain default drivers during the Operating System installation (keeping in mind that this was done on an Intel Solid State Drive that I formatted using Quick Format) these default chipset drivers apparently weren't current and were ultimately the root cuase of the jerky video playback within PremierePro CS5.

Program monitor during playback in always in focus; preventing effects panel or mixer to be seen

Dear Premiere CC users:
It must have been some recent update for premiere pro (a "bug fixes" one), which changed how Premiere works now.
I use 2 monitors where one is full screen preview, and another is for whole application. On that second monitor I used to have workspace organized in a way that NO program monitor was shown. I used to have effect panel / audio mixer + project files + effect controls always shown. Source monitor was triggered when I doubleclicked a clip, program monitor I had always hidden behind, because I have another full screen monitor for program.
Now when I playback program monitor is instantly pulled in front and I cant have mixer engaged, or any other windows in same panel. If I close the program monitor I loose picture on fullscreen monitor too. I don't want to see program monitor in my primary display where premiere GUI sits; only on external display, on second display. But from some update on, this is not possible anymoore.
Now if I want to have external full screen preview, a regular program monitor is always visible too. It is not needed, annoying, and it takes space on GUI area for other frequent needed things; like effects, or mixer. Shure it is good option to have it on a small laptop lcd, but annoying on a 2 big LCD setup.
Does anybody know how to change this back?
Many thanks for opinions or help.
PS: Right now I'm using a workaround: I pulled program monitor from main panel, and put it in panel with volume meter and reduced it's size to 1 x 1 cm - so It is almost invisible and does not steal too much my GUI real estate. But It seems that I have less smooth playback on external display now when program is played back on 2 screens simultaneously, than before.

I worked with almost all major big NLE products, and once I was hired at local studio with Premiere 6.0/6.5. It was nightmare compared to big ones from that time. But I personaly use and love Premiere PRO from version 1 (e.g. Premiere 7) on. I have tons of stories of broken projects on so many ways. So custom workspaces are jus a drop in to the ocean. As I love it, I cant admire some very old programming solution on what Premiere is based on. But regardles I lasted with Adobe for longer than decade now.
I live with all errors and fight with them by backuping projects in hundred of instances and with splitting project on smaller blocks - e.g. intro, reception, wedding, first dance... I always export finished part of feature in several needed formats and save whole project via "project manager" too. Than I have backup of all that of at least 2 times (3 for projects). I always save original files from camera too.
Regarding updates: We are not used from Adobe to have ANY updates or bug fixes to their products before just new wersion was released. We cursed that hundreds of times. Now they update more than Microsoft. And we are unhappy of that either.
Just today I learned, that some update might change the behaviour of marker placement with "*" on timeline... weird. Sometimes markers are added as clip markers, sometimes as timeline - as I was used to. I must dig into it...
regards.

No playback at all in program monitor PPro CS 4

Hi all,
I'm new to this and I'm not an expert with computers neither, so please excuse any incorrect terms and the like. Here's the problem: Premiere CS 4 (4.0.0) all of a sudden stopped playbacking my project. All clips, audio and video, do run in the source monitor, but NO action at all, not a single frame, in the program monitor. When moving the CTI / cursor thing around the timeline, I don't get any audio. Same when exporting, which went well before: I do get the video, but no audio. Again, all audio clips work in the source monitor. Im running Premiere on Windows XP. I already talked to the technical support. After resetting preferences, which didn't help, the guy suggested to create a new sequence. Here's the funny thing: If I only drag a limited number of clips into the new sequence, I do get playback, audio and video. As soon as I drag all of the clips into the sequence, I face the same problem as before: no playback, no audio. All of the clips have been there before the problem arose, so I guess it can't be just certain clips that cause the problem.
Has anyone got any idea what could be done about this? Right now, I can't work on my project which is extremely frustrating as I've been working on it for months and am very close to finishing it.
Thanks a lot in advance for any helpful thoughts...

Thanks for answering. Here's some data:
OS: Windows XP Home, Service Pack 3
Direct X 4.09.00.0904 (Direct X 9.0c)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64, 2200 Mhz

I'm working on the Premiere update at the moment. I'll get back once I'm done. I know my computer is a bit slow for video editing, but thing is, all worked well until a while ago, no major changes in the meantime. I'll report after the update.

Sluggish timeline and glitching/freezing program monitor in Premiere Pro CC 8.1

Hi all,
I've recently switched from CS6 to the 2014 Adobe CC due to a student license expiring. I'm also somewhat new to r3d workflow so chances are I may be doing something wrong.
I've worked on one other project with a mix of r3d and DSLR footage in CS6, but this is my first time cutting with red footage in Premiere CC.
*Apologies in advance for the novel, but I figured I'd be as thorough as possible to hopefully help get this issue resolved for myself any anyone else who's experiencing this.*
I'm cutting a 9:30 "party mix" in a music video style edit. So far I've had several (seemingly random) issues and glitches, that have been making my life exceptionally difficult and this 10/30 deadline exceptionally scary.
I'm working with content that we captured using exclusively RED Epic Dragon, and Epic Mysterium cameras. We recorded with several different frame rates, with varying resolution, compression, and aspect ratios. Project was set in-camera to 23.976.
Issue #1
I've created a nearly two hour, organized roll of sub-clip selects in a RED R3D 2K 23.976 16x9 timeline, in which i'll use to browse my raw media when sequencing on a timeline stacked directly below.
Often times when pulling clips from one timeline down to the other, the over-all responsiveness of the program will become ultra sluggish. Causing a clip (that's being dragged/placed) to lag heavily, maybe a couple seconds behind my cursor. This issue will often resolve itself after maybe 5 minutes or so, but makes fluid sequencing rather difficult.
Issue #2
The other issue I'm having is a glitchy or completely unresponsive program monitor. Again this issue appears to be totally random, and seems to happen most when I'm deep into some really intense sequencing/ clip arrangement, and scrubbing quickly.
Usually a portion of a single clip (or sometimes a couple clips) will freeze up in the program monitor while I'm scrubbing over them on the timeline. This will sometimes cause them to freeze all together during playback as well as cause surrounding clips to lag a bit (maybe 4-8fps).
I'll scrub back over the problem area and sometimes get a solid green bar halfway through my image, usually right before the program monitor just reads solid black throughout the entire timeline. This issue is temporarily resolved by restarting the program (about every 15-30 minutes).
Issue #3
As I'm scrubbing I'll also experience heavy glitching with both my image and the program monitor GUI itself. However, this issue typically wont affect playback.
I've uploaded a quick camera-phone video of this issue as it's a little tough to describe Program monitor glitch - YouTube
I know the timeline is un-rendered in this sample, (but this issue happens either way).
Two painstaking weeks later, I've finally completed the first pass.
Working on revisions now, and ultimately I'd like to copy paste the sequence into a 4K timeline for before After Effects work and export.
I tried pulling it into a 4K timeline (with playback set to 1/8 res) and the issues stated above got 10x worse.
Sticking to the 2K timeline for now (with playback at 1/4 res)
P.S. I'm also cutting a much simpler corporate project with 5DMKIII footage and having no real issues.
As for my rig,
I'm running Adobe Premiere CC 2014 v8.1
Freshly installed Windows 7 Professional SP1 PC Desktop
Freshly installed Samsung 1TB SSD running my OS and Adobe CC
Intel Core i7-2600k CPU at 3.4GHz (8CPUs) - Watercooled
16GB Ram (3gb allocated for other programs)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 4GB GDDR5 - 3.40.62 Drivers installed
Pulling media from 2x 3TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM drives, striped at RAID 0
Thanks for reading!
-Sam

So it seems to be behaving slightly better in "Software Only"
Though slightly less frequently, I'm still running into the issues stated above, mostly issue #2.
I also have a new problem to add to this thread as I'm starting to pull clips into After Effects.
First being that (again, seemingly random) dynamic-linked clips decide not to show up on the timeline in AE, and then seem to vanish from the program monitor in Premiere as well.
As you can see in the screenshots attached- After Effects see's the media itself from which the clip came from, however it won't show up in the monitor.
I'm also having issues where I'll render the Premiere project with the dynamic linked clips that DO work, and then as soon as I restart the program, those previews are gone and I have to re-render the the AE Linked comps.

Source Monitor smooth, but Program Monitor STUTTERS

What would cause a clip to play smoothly in the SOURCE monitor, but to not play smoothly in the PROGRAM monitor? Playback resolution makes no difference.
I've tried using "New Sequence From Clip" - same problem. I'm not using an external monitoring device like AJA or Blackmagic.
Boggles my mind. If you figure it out, I owe you lunch.
(Note: Sequence settings match, playback settings are the same for each monitor, software is CS5.5, computer is Mac Pro 3,1 with 10GB RAM, graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 3870, and hard drive is fibre channel RAID.)

Refresh rates are always the first thing to check - your external monitor should be set to the same refresh as the content. Playing 30p content on a 50Hz monitor will jitter and vice versa. That said I have never got external previews to playback without any stuttering at all and reading other posts around the only real solution is external hardware.

Program monitor

My program monitor only shows part of the image - is different of the source monitor and I can't see proporply the whole image I'm editing.
Magnification is set to Fit; Playback resolution is Full.
Is there anything I can do?

Welcome to the forum.
As David asks, more info will be useful. Please pay special attention to furnishing the pixel x pixel Frame Size of your Source Footage (also list the PAR - Pixel Aspect Ratio), and that of your Sequence's Frame Size. There is very likely a mis-match in there somewhere.
Also, the Source Monitor just displays the Source Footage, irrespective of the Sequence/Project, in which it will be used. The Program Monitor takes that Sequence into consideration, and will display it, relative to that Sequence.
Good luck, and please let us know a bit more. I feel that the solution to your problem will be in those answers.

Premiere Pro 5.5 program monitor goes blank, please help!

I started a super simple brand new project in Premiere Pro 5.5, importing only simple, small resolution png files (to create an animation), and my program monitor goes completely blank. This started happening right when I updated the driver for my video card. I run a Windows 7 64-bit machine, with NVidia Quadro 2000, driver updated (333.11), source footage is png files, my OS is up to date, I use just a single monitor, there are no error messages at all, when I try to scrub, my program monitor stops working (it shows a still image), then suddenly it goes completely black! I have no third party effects, plug-ins or hardware installed. And yes, my Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration is good. I am completely stumped since the project is barely started. Does anyone have any ideas?!

Multicam Playback Resolution

Hi All,
I cut native AVCHD 1920x1080 60p footage from 3 panasonic HDC-HS700 cameras in the multicam feature of CS5. I have playback resolution in the program and source monitors set to "full" and it plays crystal clear in those windows. In the multi-cam window however it plays grainy. I could not find anywhere to adjust multicam window playback res.
thoughts as to why its playing grainy only in that window, and is there a way to adjust it?
Thanks in advance :o)
6-core proc. (AMD phenom II X6 3.2ghz)
Asus Crossfire mobo with USB-3 / sata 6
16 gigs 1333 ram
GTX 260 (text file added to unlock mercury)
Win 7 - 64 bit
WD 10k velociraptor system drive (nothing but windows & apps loaded)
quantity 4 Hitachi G-raid external Raid-0 drives connected e-sata
(scratches on one, media on another, project files on another etc.)

I don't know of any way to adjust it manually. The multicam window is only for content viewing so you can see which camera to switch to. It doesn't need to be high res. But it does need to play in real time. So PP adjusts to make that happen.

CS4-How do I remove a split screen in the Program monitor window?

I have Pro CS4 on a vista 64 OS. I am using the Mainstream encoders and my Program monitor window switches to a split screen every time I play the timeline. When I stop the playback, the screen returns to normal full screen with the last frame showing. When I start the playback again, the screen splits into two screens squishing the actual playback window to the left part of the monitor window. Any Ideas? Thanks.

I found the solution by changing my quality settings (in the top right hand corner of the program display window) from "Automatic Quality" to "Highest Quality".
I am not sure why it affects the display in this manner, but it just works this way and it is repeatable.
I am working with 50 Mb MXF files from a Sony PDW900 HD camera.I use the Mainstream codecs to inport the files. I am using a Nvidia Quadro CX as a video card with the latest drivers. I first thought that the Mainstream codecs were affecting the display somehow, but then again, I do not remember changing these display settings. Thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate the response just the same...

Why does my video clip show in the program monitor only when it is playing (the program monitor is blank otherwise)?

I am using WIndows 7 64 bit, and the most recent version of Premiere Pro CC on an I7 machine with 8GB of memory. I have imported a HD .mov clip and placed it on the timeline. When I press 'Play', it shows in the Program Monitor window. When I stop the playing, the window goes blank. I have rendered the clip (it has a yellow bar above it). Even after rendering, the yellow bar remains and the sequence only displays when it is playing. The source monitor has the same behavior.
Not being able to see where I am in a clip is making editing very difficult. I have used Premiere Elements for five years, I have taken the Lynda.com course, so I have some familiarity with the program that suggests that the frame at the point of the CTI should show in the program and source monitors.
What do I need to do to be able to see the frame in the monitors when it isn't playing?
Update: I spent 35 minutes with Tushar in a technical support chat (case number: 0186148124), during which time we deleted the contents of the Media cache folder in C:/Users/Your User Account/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Common file (after using task manager to close coresync32.exe and creativecloud32.exe) and renamed both the Adobe folder and the 8.0 folder in Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/8.0. This didn't get it, but was necessary for the next step:
Going to the File menu, Project Settings, and selecting 'General Settings', Tushar had me change the Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine Software Only (I don't have a GPU accelerator video card yet). I received a warning that all previews would be deleted, which I accepted. That brought the image back to the Program Monitor.
I've posted this for anyone who may experience a similar challenge in the future. Despite a lot of Google searching before I contacted Tech Support, I didn't find anything even close to the description of the problem. I hope this provides that source for future searchers.
Jeff

Thanks, Ann. As I mentioned in my post, Tushar correctly pointed out that, without a GPU accelerated card (which I don't have - mine is a piece of junk which I will be replacing with a compatible one soon) you must use the software only settings. I had changed my project over to the 'software only' setting, and I still had the problem. The value Tushar added was the procedure for clearing the cache.
What I did originally was a newbie error, no argument. I posted it here for others who may fall in the same hole. Your reply confirms that, without a GPU accelerated card, use the software only settings (sounds so obvious, yet I missed it.....).

How do I output the program monitor from Premiere Elements 13 to an external TV monitor?

I can find information about dual monitor set ups, but is it possible to output the program monitor only to an external monitor?
If so, what is needed?
I'm using PE`3 on a PC with Windows 7 64 bit with an NVIDIA Quadro NVS 290.
Thanks

bobj
Have not found a way, but....
Do you have a HDMI cable and does your computer and TV each have a HDMI port.
The TImeline panel appears to be the only undockable panel in the Premiere Elements 13/13.1 Expert workspace area (Window Menu/Dual Monitor)
The best I can do is to make a HDMI connection between the HDMI ports of my computer and TV, with display at Duplicate or Extend. That does not appear to be what you seek.
The other part of all this is that Premiere Elements used to have a "Playback Settings" in Project Settings and accessed from
right clicking the Edit area monitor. That is no longer to be found in 13.1, even in a grayed out state. And, for me, the Playback Settings could not be made visible
when attaching a 3rd party device.
In the days of Premiere Elements 11, the answer to your question might have been as described in the following
Adobe Premiere Elements 11 * Previewing movies
Until proven otherwise, I am thinking that it cannot be done in Premiere Elements 13/13.1. But, I am not at a stage where I would put a never and always stamp on this.

Program monitor constantly freezing/stalling when playing dynamically linked After Effects comps

I'm having program monitor issues when I try to play dynamically linked After Effects comps from my Premiere timeline. I realize it's expected to have jerky playback since After Effects comps are memory and CPU intense, but it doesn't seem normal for these things to happen:
Sometimes during playback, the program monitor completely freezes while audio continues to play and the CTI continues to move along timeline. When this happens, there's no way to stop the playback at all using mouse or keyboard... so I'm forced to just quit Premiere and re-open project.
Program monitor can also freeze when I place the CTI on top of the After Effects comp. Sometimes if I wait a minute, the screen could update and eventually display the After Effects comp.
I'm unable to render effects on the Premiere timeline because it just hangs at "Rendering frame 0" and never advances forward.
There's nothing special about the After Effects comp I'm linked to... it could just be regular text that I animated using ease keyframes and motion blur.
I originally thought it was related to GPU settings but it doesn't make a difference if I set After Effects to use CPU instead of GPU or set Premiere's Mercury Playback engine to software, CUDA, or openGL. I even have the latest CUDA drivers installed on my Mac. But I must mention that this issue got significanly worst after updating to OSX 10.9 Mavericks.
Here's my system details:
OSX 10.9 Mavericks
Premiere 7.0.1 (105)
After Effects 12.0.1.7 (I installed the OS X Mavericks crash update fix)
The most prevalent error messages displayed in the OSX console is:
Adobe Premiere Pro CC[402]: dynamic_cast error 1: Both of the following type_info's should have public visibility. At least one of them is hidden. N5dvaui2ui8MessageTIKNS0_7UI_NodeEEE, N5dvaui8controls23UI_PictureSupplyMessageE.
Here's a few that are less common:
Adobe Premiere Pro CC[402]: [PremiereCocoaMacApplication handleMenuCommand:1633841013 from <DVAMacMenuItem: 0x6100002f8300 About Premiere Pro>]
After Effects[377]: -[NSMenu menuID]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x600000077080
If anybody has any ideas or suggestions, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,

I think I found the problem... OSX Mavericks introduced a power saving feature called App Nap that basically slows down an app that appears to be doing nothing or is minimized in the background.
So essentually when I try to display an After Effects dynamically linked comp via my Premiere timeline, it freezes because OSX put After Effects to sleep.
To fix this, I had to disable the App Nap feature on After Effects. Now everything is performing back at pre-Mavericks levels (which is about 10% stalling playback issues vs 90% stalling). I also noticed that all of the console errors went away.
To disable App Nap in OSX...
Go to your Applications folder
Expand the After Effects CC folder
Right-click on "Adobe After Effects CC.app" and select Get Info
Add a checkmark beside "Prevent App Nap"
Restart the application
I also did this with all my Adobe apps just to be safe.
Hope this helps

How do I add a monitor dedicated to program monitor

I have a large high def program monitor I used to use with Media 100. Is there a way I can use that to monitor the Premiere Pro desktop program monitor full time (rather than going to full screen and back to "normal?" Mac Pro. 10.8.5 Premiere Pro. Must be a way but can't find it in the manual? (Just made the switch from Media 100 Suite to Premiere pro and finding my way. Great program!)
Many thanks.

My set up is exactly like that ( but on a PC Windows) Nvidia Card CC2014xx ( but this has worked since CS5 at least)
Application GUI all on one monitor ..second monitor is full screen HD ( that reflects the Program Monitor in the GUI). No Menu bar or navigation controls on this monitor.
FWIW - I use the Default Edit Workspace .
I just have my graphics card set up (Nvidia Driver) in Windows to acknowledge two Monitors identified as 1 and 2 (note both monitors are HD Monitors so no scaling involved)
In Premiere Preferences> Playback I simply select the Monitors (check boxes) especially Monitor #2
That's it.
Note . I do not drag application panes anywhere out of Default Workspaces. It is saved a s a Custom Workspace though.
This setup always plays out a full screen Monitor on #2.
If I use the "tilde" shortcut. on any panes....I get a full screen as well on #1
I can not drag any application windows onto #2. They will disappear behind the full screen and one has to turn off Monitor 2 in the Playback Prefs to see them again and return them to #1.

Program Monitor playback resolution
