    Hi,
    I have a problem in Sony Vegas.
    If I click on ‘Video Preview on External Monitor (Alt+Shift+4), the video is displayed upside down on the second monitor, but fine on the preview panel on the first monitor.
    Here is an example:

    How can I fix this?
    Thanks!

    Try this. Right click somewhere on your desktop (not inside a program window)and open any graphics support app that you might have; I have an Nvidia video card so my app is Nvidia Control Panel and since you are able to run two monitors you will have something similar. Somewhere in there it should have somewhere to rotate your second monitors screen.

    Thanks Phil!
    Good idea to use ‘Rotate Display’ from NVIDIA control panel, i haven’t tough about it.
    Now the video is displayed correctly. 🙂

    I just need to remember to change it back after I’m done with Vegas, because all the windows are flipped, even the mouse cursor goes the other way lol.


    As I’m writing this response, I found out what caused the problem.
    There was a checkbox I had to uncheck in

    Options>Preferences>Preview Device>Use project output rotation setting

    It was marked for some reason.
    Now everything works fine, Phil.
    Thank you for your help!

    Great, and I have learnt something too. My next suggestion was going to be to turn the thing upside down but I somehow knew you wouldn’t like that suggestion!!!
