FCP 5 problem with Dual Apple Displays
I cannot stretch my timeline over two displays now that I’ve installed FCP 5 (studio). It must be fully contained on the 20 inch LCD, or the older 17 inch LCD. But it won’t stretch over both displays like I’m used to with FCP4.5
Any suggested fixes?

As I know it, the whole fcp layout is now handled by the GPU in your computer. This requires that data (ie the timeline) be driven by a dedicated GPU and not shared. In fact, “video units” now drive all of FCP. This is also the cause of the disappearance of “follow” as a playhead option. You are stuck with the timeline on one monitor. In all reality, I have never needed to see a timeline across two monitors… and I don’t know why that would ever dawn on me…
