  AE CS4 preview compostion on secondary (external) monitor

  Posted by Sebastian Alvarez on July 18, 2009 at 7:00 pm

  Can somebody tell me what are the most current plugins that will allow me to preview the composition in the second monitor, using a graphics card with two DVI ports? I use my HDTV as a secondary monitor and I really would like to preview the composition in it while I’m working on it, rather than having to render it and play it on the HDTV

  Thanks, actually the second comment gave me what I wanted, not 100%, but at least it’s a way to preview the composition in the second monitor. The only drawback is that it leaves part of the window on the left and top, but I can get rid of them by adjusting the overscan in my graphic card’s control panel.
