  • View multiple program monitors simultaneously?

    Posted by Jimmy Brunger on October 8, 2013 at 10:01 am

    Hi all,

    Does anyone know of a trick to enable viewing of two DIFFERENT program monitors at a time? A bit like After effects when you can tear off a tab and lock it to a particular timeline, whilst keeping the other one dynamic?

    Basically I have an edit on which has a VAAAAST amount of source footage which I’ve logged into contextual source sequences. Now obviously I can stack multiple timelines at once, but can only view one prog monitor at once. Have worked like this before, but would be great to be able to just keep my main edit window locked, whilst having the one of the left act like a source monitor.

    Any ideas?

    You can load a Sequence into the Source Monitor.

    Another option is to use the Reference Monitor with Gang to Program Monitor disabled.

    You may already be aware of this, but I will also point out Premiere Pro CC’s new “virtual KEM roll” [link], which allows non-nested, sequence-to-sequence editing.

    Thanks guys, can’t believe I hadn’t tried dragging seqs into source monitor instead of double click! D’oh!
