  • Changing Work Monitor in Davinci?

    Posted by Reuben Fink on December 17, 2012 at 2:15 am

    I am running two monitors and a plasma display. Currently in OSX I have my left monitor setup as monitor #1 and the right is #2. What I want to do is have my scopes on the left monitor and the main resolve interface on the right monitor without changing the actual configuration in OSX system prefs. Is this possible? It seems like Davinci defaults to the #1 monitor and doesn’t let you customize placement. Am I right about that?

    Thanks.

    As far as I know you have to change it from OSX prefs. Or just physically swap the displays:)

    That seems to be the case. Thanks.

    Is this the same for Windows too? That would be a great inconvenience. I have tried to customize the interface to go across two monitors and I couldn’t even do it.
