    2nd Monitor won’t go Full Screen in FCP – UPDATED INFO

    Posted by Trevor Ambrose on July 27, 2015 at 3:48 pm

    Hey folks,

    For some reason, my second monitor won’t go full screen anymore. It’s a bit intermittent i.e.. shutting down sometimes helps. But most of the time it just won’t work.

    Is this a video card thing?

    *** Also, here is a possible clue. Under the VIDEO PLAYBACK window it says “(Missing) Digital Cinema – Desktop Preview -Full Screen” is greyed out or in other words missing.

    Any insight would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    here are my specs:
    Processor 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory 6 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
    Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB
    Software OS X 10.9.5 (13F1096)
    FCP 7.0.3

    Video card may be borked. Did you try swapping the monitors around and trying again?

    Try uninstalling the nvidia drivers and reinstalling the latest version available for that ancient care if there is one.
