Monitoring a 2K Sequence via Delink to a 1080p Monitor
I wanted to give Premiere a shot on my latest project.
The project is 2K (2048 x 1152) ProRes. In FCP I have the ability to work with a 2K project but view via my Decklink to my external monitor in 1080p.
Is this possible in Premiere? If I have a 2K project I don’t get video out, and I can’t seem to find any settings anywhere to set the monitoring resolution (like I can in FCP).
Thoughts?

Make a 1080p sequence with matching framerate. Drag your source clips to the timeline and edit away. Right click on clips and select scale to frame size if you are not reframing the 2k clips. Don’t forget about the full/half/quarter resolution button under the program viewer. Depending on your system, you may or may not need to adjust this.
Lastly, make sure you are set up to use the Blackmagic card under the preferences. Also make sure you are monitoring the Blackmagic audio outputs.Have fun!

Yeah I realized I could do that, and it works, but I end up with a 1080p sequence and not a 2K sequence.
I want my end product to be a 2K sequence/file.
In FCP I could work with a 2K sequence but monitor at 1080. Is that not possible in Premiere?
Is my only solution to dram my 2K sequence into a 1080 sequence for the time being?

Yeah it works totally different than final cut. If you need to display on a client monitor via the Blackmagic decklink, then it’s going to be a 1080 sequence. I would cut at 1080 then copy and paste into a 2k sequence for final export.
