Premiere video overlay does not work on second monitor
We have HP Z400 CPU’s with Nvidia Quadro 3800’s running the latest Nvidia driver. OS Is Windows 7 64bit running CS4. We get video in a window playback on single screen and first screen just fine. But any video in a window when stretched to two screens will not play back int he second monitor, works just fine when repositioned to the first monitor. Anyone know why video overlay will not work in the second monitor in this config? Thanks

Maybe nothing at all the same but…
I had a similar problem when I had my monitors switched around, i.e. I had my main screen on the cards 2nd output and my extended monitor on the cards main output, all worked fine when I swapped them over.Alistair Cooper

How do you have your desktop configured: Dual desktop or extended desktop?

To be perfectly honest, and I’ll be showing my ignorance to Windows 7, but I don’t know. I never thought I would say this but I miss XP! I think it is dual.
We are thinking it has to do with the Matrox MXO2 Rack and related drivers. When we switch to a non-Matrox sequence, it works fine.

Hi Joe,
You’ll probably have better luck posting Matrox issues to the Matrox forum, lots of experts there.
Try this – set the graphics display of the PC to “Horizontal Span” rather than “Extended desktop” and see if that helps, this is an old Matrox trick that helps with RT.X2 hardware.

Thanks.
So, apparently Microsoft has stopped supporting extended desktop in Win7 and Vista? That is what we are hearing from our Matrox rep. Fun times….

Hi Joe,
I have exactly the same problem.
I’m on an HPZ400, Matrox RTX2, Radeon4870, Premiere Pro CS4.
Years ago I had this problem on a Premiere 6 running with DVStorm and NVIDIA display card. Using the NVIDIA ‘span’ setting for the dual monitors (instead of extended desktop) cured it.
If someone has a fix or workaround for Joe’s problem, please let me know!

The trick was to make the right side monitor the main monitor. Just do that in the settings tab of the display properties. Other than that, I don’t think there is a work around. This is, of course, if you want the video to be on the right side.

Joe,
Thanks!! Tried it, now (strangely) I have video on BOTH monitors. You are a magician!
