FCP timeline and Dual Monitor
Hi all.
I know its a beginner question, but i always had it.
I have 2 19″ Cinema Displays on my macPro.
FCP timeline always stays at the first display and no matter what i try i cannot expand it to the second one. Does anybody have any ideas?
And the MACs title bar is on the first also. It does not expand to the second one.Thanx.

You should just be able to grab the lower right of the Sequence window and drag it out as large as you want. You need to have the Sequence on the Left monitor and drag to the right, it will not expand to the left.

Windows layout. There are several dual display options. You can even create your own custom layout. Learn keyboard shortcuts to activate them.

Thank you both for your answers.
I already tried both solutions.
If i tried to drag the timeline from the lower right corner, it does NOT expand to the right. It stops at the edge of the 1st monitor. Even if i move the toolbar and the audio levels bar, it still stays at the 1st.
I also tried to set all the different windows layout, but still no result. I even placed the timeline between the 2 monitors, saved the layout, and everytime i try to restore it, voila, it stays at the 1st monitor.I am thinking if there is an option for that on the vga’s display options like there is on the WindowsXP.

Sounds like user error to me. You need to go into your display preferences and set up your displays correctly.

I don’t think you can save a window layout where the timeline stretches across 2 monitors. You can save it where the timeline will be on the left hand monitor and then pull it across both manually.
