    Hi.

    I have an external monitor hooked up to my iMac with premiere pro cs6.

    It works most of the time, but then it cuts out and won’t come back.

    I’ve tried switching on and off in the preferences, replugging on the thunder bolt daisy chain etc.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers

    Chris

    I’ve had this happen both plugged into the thunderbolt and into the HDMI (on the new retina display MBP). What I’ve done is play a little game.
    1. Open display preferences.
    2. Click on the box for “arrangement”.
    3. Re-arrange the boxes and switch one from the left side to the right side.
    4. The screen will blank for a second. then switch them back.
    5. Go into Premiere and make sure your preferences for monitor and audio go out to the hdmi or whatever.

    Yes this worked. thanks. Also I had something from my main monitor hanging into my external monitor. This was stoping it from displaying.
