Activity Forums DaVinci Resolve Waveform monitor snaps back to main Monitor

  • Waveform monitor snaps back to main Monitor

    Posted by David Smith on October 4, 2011 at 11:56 pm

    I just set up a second monitor to put my Waveform, Parade, etc. on.

    When I drag any of the 4 panels over to my 2nd monitor, they sit for 1-2 seconds then snap back my main/Resolve interface monitor.

    Does anyone know what the problem is here?

    Thanks!

    Try delete the config file for the scopes window and see if it helps.

    The WFM.cfg file is located here :

    /Library/Preferences/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve

    Thanks for your reply Chris. I figured it out a few minutes later and forgot I had posted here.

    It turns out that I had set my 2nd monitor “above” my Resolve interface monitor in my monitor configuration in System Preferences in my Mac.

    For some reason Resolve did not like that. When I set the 2nd monitor to the side (even though the physical monitor is above my main monitor) it stopped snapping back.

    I will what you suggested though… I’m just curious to see if that fixes how I originally had it.
