    External Monitor Question

    Posted by Josh Smith on July 21, 2012 at 4:35 pm

    Hi guys,

    I have a question regarding using a mid-2010 MacBook Pro 15″ as an external RAM preview monitor running off my iMac mid-2011 whilst using After Effects.

    Ideally, it would be great if I could hook the two up via FireWire or something, so that when I hit the RAM preview button in After Effects on the iMac, it plays back full screen on the MacBook Pro.

    I understand that you can use an external video monitor using the Video Preview settings in preferences, but can you set up something similar using a MacBook as the external monitor?

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Josh.
