  • Using two screens slows down motion?

    Posted by Josh Evans on April 21, 2009 at 12:45 am

    i remember reading somewhere not to split motion over 2 screens.

    But Im just using my left screen for the library and inspector.

    THe right screen is the main canvas.

    Is this going to slow things down at all?

    Not necessarily. If you have two separate display cards (or have more VRAM on one than Motion can use effectively) spanning two or even three displays won’t affect your operation.
    but
    If you’ve just got the one card, or it’s a bit underpowered, I wouldn’t take our word for any of this. Conduct your own trials to see if moving everything to a single window of managed panes affects your performance. You’d be doing us all a great service.
