  • Import Dialog Box appears on Right Screen, Not Left

    Posted by Adam Berch on May 8, 2010 at 5:23 pm

    Hi,

    I have 2 monitors set up to use in FCP. My left screen is my main screen and my right screen is my 2nd monitor that I put the Browser on. When I go to Import files and the box comes up and asks me to choose a file, it appears on my left screen. I want it to appear on my right screen. I had it like this on my old Mac. How can I get the import box to appear on my right screen?

    Is there any settings I have to set in FCP or Snow Leopard

    I am now using a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard using FCS 2.

    Thanks in advance

    It will open where it did last… so just drag it over there, and next time it should open there.

    Hi Jerry,

    I tried that and it still did not work. Is there something I am missing. It worked fine in Leopard. Could it be a Snow Leopard Thing? I cannot seem to get the box to open on my Left screen.

    I am using FInal Cut Pro 6 on a Brand New Mac Pro.

    Thanks in advance

    I was wrong (again) I too only get it to open on the same screen as the Viewer/Canvas/Timeline resides. Might try trashing preferences, but I think it’s just the way it is.
