Using Dual Monitors
You can stretch your Composer monitor into two monitors. This lets you open a source clip in the left monitor (Source monitor); the right monitor (Record monitor) displays your sequence and provides the usual Composer monitor functions.
To view dual monitors:
|
|
(Windows) Click either edge of the Composer monitor and drag it to
the outside.
|
|
|
|
(Macintosh) Do the following:
|
| a. | |
Click the Composer monitor title bar and drag it to the left.
|
| b. | |
Click the bottom right corner of the Composer monitor and drag it
to the right.
|
The monitor splits into two. When you double-click a sequence icon in
a bin, the sequence appears in the right (Record) monitor.
To open a clip in the left monitor:
|
|
|
Drag a clip from the Bin window into the left monitor.
|
The clip appears in the left monitor.
 | |
If you have the "Double-click loads object in" option set to "Source or
Record Monitor" in the Bin Settings dialog box, you can also double-click
a clip or a sequence in the Bin window to have it appear in the right or left
monitor as appropriate. See Bin Settings.
|
To switch between the monitors:
|
|
|
Press Esc.
|
To view a single monitor:
|
|
|
(Windows) Click an edge of the dual monitors and drag it to the center.
|
|
|
|
(Macintosh) Click the lower right corner of the Record monitor and
drag it to the left.
|
The Composer monitor returns to a single monitor.
| |
When you are using a single monitor, double-clicking a clip opens it in a
free-standing Source pop-up monitor.
