  • HELP! Premiere Pro Window Layout Frustration!

    Posted by Sleddriver1 on January 24, 2007 at 4:28 pm

    This is just weird, but tremendously frustrating. I’m on a fresh install of Premiere Pro 7 within a fresh install of WinXP after a motherboard crash/replacement, and PP7 isn’t behaving the way my “old” install of PP7 did. Previously, opening a project that was laid out for dual monitors restored the window layout exactly as I had left it last time I saved it…stretched across both monitors, and every window in its preferred place. Now, opening the same or similar project only opens PP7 in one monitor, with everything crunched up. I can stretch the PP7 window out to 2 monitors, and go through the Window Workspace menu to restore my preferred window layout, but why should I have to? It’s the same ol’ software and everything, just a new motherboard. No matter what I do, I can’t seem to get it to open up with a full dual-monitor layout from the get-go. GAAAAAHHHHH!

    Solutions welcome!

    Sounds like a video card setup issue. Check your settings, is your display mode set to Dualview? If it isn’t that might be why it isn’t working.

    Yep, sure is. For instance, when I bring up AE 6.5 or CoolEdit Pro, they automatically launch into the layout I’ve set for them, which spans both monitors. It’s only a Premiere problem, that’s the weird thing.

    Save your project with the lay out you want, exit PP, refresh your preferences and try again.

    Try this:

    a) Open project
    b) Change workspace
    c) Save workspace
    d) Edit your project a little bit (move the files on a sequence or create a dummy sequence)
    e) Save your project
    f) Open your project again.

    Does that help?

    No, it doesn’t help, and this is my frustration. I do have one thing I want to try when I get home tonight, so I’ll post again later.

    Thanks for the advice.

    This may work; I’ll try it tonight when I get home.

    Bummer! My idea didn’t work. Any other ideas out there?
