MC composer screen space restriction…
Hi,
New to avid and been reading some things on the web about the issue I’m having using MC 5.5 on my apple 30 inch display…
it seems that i can enlarge all the parts as big as i like except the composer window…at the moment it is stuck using only a portion of the top half of my screen…
From what I’ve read this is normal for MC and the solution (unless i want to buy another 30 inch monitor) is to buy another smaller monitor to use for the composer window and have the bins etc on my apple display…
Is this true?…There is no way to use all of the space on my 30 inch monitor…and unless i want to live with tiny composer screens and have my desktop on view… i have to fork out for another monitor…this sounds like a load of bollocks to me…
Thanks,
Mike

Drag the lower right hand corner of the composer screens to make it bigger. Completely adjustable.

Hi Ross,
Thanks for the reply…I have tried that and can increase and decrease the size of my viewer/canvas window fine – to a point…then when they get to a certain size..fairly big but not big enough to fill the whole top half of my screen which is what i want they wont get any bogger they are locked…i pull the corner, the line extends but when I release the mouse the canvas/viewer window dont got larger.. it seems to work with the sequence, the bin window, the project window – they can go as big as i please…but not the canvas/viewer window…they seeme to be restricted to a certain size once i’ve adjusted them to that point…this is a really stupid thing to have to ask a question about but the reason why I am is I read this and other similar posts:

I only use one 30 inch apple monitor at the moment and was hoping to use the whole screen with mc as i do with fcp and premiere…I cant find it at the moment but i read another forum listing which specifically said that if you’re using one 30 inch monitor the viewer/canvas window will not be allowed to enlarge to any size you see fit – there will be restrictions based on proportions of either the pixel aspect ratio of your monitor or 16:9 space ratio…i like to have the canvas/viewer as big as possible for obvious reasons…at the moment it seems i’m stuck with small viewer/canvas and have to fill up the space on my screen with a bin or two so i’m not staring at my desktop…if this is the case i feel like i’ll be forced to buy a second monitor in order to maximise my ability to use the software…i prefer to have a choice…
Thanks,
Mike
