Premiere Pro really slow with second monitor
I posted earlier in the week about having problems with premiere earlier in the week which i resolved with having my workspace on one monitor, I had the timeline and other various tools on my second monitor. To continue on to my problem I noticed a short time after hooking up a second monitor that premiere seemed to slow down and lag when I would preview videos. I unplugged the second monitor and now everything is running smoothly again. The thing I am confused about is that I was no longer using it for any part of premiere as a preview monitor or anything, it sat vacant only connected to the computer. What gives?

I heard Motion was like that. SOmething to do with the GPU. I hope it’s not the same for Premiere. I’m just getting my feet wet but I’ll have to test that.

Its still using half your video ram, which leave less for the Mercury Engine to work with.

I have 4 displays. I have since CS3…PPro runs fine.
What display cards are you using? Is this a Mac or Windows machine?

I have the factory installed Mac Pro card its a NVIDIA GeForce GT 120. I know its nothing special but its always worked fine for what I have done with it. I am running CS4 but will be upgrading to CS 5.5 and Quadro 4000 later this year.

So…are you designating the second monitor as an external monitor?
Instead of that…have you tried simply dragging the program panel to the second monitor and filling the screen with it?
