Thanks, you were right…No problem on ingest or playback. It’s truly tough to throw something at this box that it can’t handle.

I have no answers but I do feel your pain. I have a similar setup and am also using the MXO2LE box. One of these times I’m actually going to tally up the ways that this box accelerates PPro versus ways that it slows things down…

[Dave Fleming]

Thanks for the reply…indeed, it was something I was doing wrong, as I now have the panels where I want them, and it will launch to my workspace. Good to see your layout–it’s always interesting to see what works for other users.

OK, just need to vent here:

I am going through TOTAL FRUSTRATION HELL with these workspaces. I have come to believe that PPro JUST DOESN’T LIKE to be displayed on dual monitors. Here’s what it is currently doing:

I have made my custom workspace TWICE now (at least I’m getting faster at it!), saved my work (it’s just a template), re-launched PPro, watched as my custom workspace quickly flashes across both screens before settling right back to the default “editing” workspace on a single monitor–wait for it–WHILE KEEPING THE NAME OF MY CUSTOM WORKSPACE!

I’ve had it with this–what am I doing wrong?!?!

[Dave Fleming]

Thank you–that definitely wiped my preferences and workspaces, which I have meticulously rebuilt.

As I stated before, my goal is to have PPro launch with my custom workspace, instead of defaulting to “editing” and forcing me to switch it to mine. This is how After Effects behaves, and I can’t see any reason why PPro shouldn’t be able to do this as well.

Another poster said that I should

“Make a “Template” project with the layout want.

Duplicate that project, and launch PPro from the duplicate.”

That doens’t seem to work. How do I accomplish this?

[Dave Fleming]

Todd–back at work and finally in front of this…Can you be more specific about deleting preferences? And, do you mean delete the workspaces from the PPro interface? Or somewhere else?

Thanks–not the answer I was hoping for, but probably the one I was expecting. it’s just time consuming to undock all those panels and set up the workspace.

I think what started this whole fiasco was a question I posted about getting PPro to launch with my custom workspace. A poster told me to duplicate a project with my custom workspace, and then launch PPro from the duplicate. Does that sound correct? I definitely do NOT want a repeat of this problem.

Hi Alex,

Sorry I’m just now getting to this a month later. Here’s what I’m doing: I start with the default workspace layouts and then create a new workspace the way I want it. Then, I copy/paste the Template project to create a duplicate (is that what you mean?) and launch PPro from the duplicate. Unfortunately, PPro still boots up with the default “Editing” workspace and forces me to change it to my custom one.

And, in a TOTALLY frustrating situation that has happened twice now, when I’ve tried this PPro has reverted my custom workspace to the default Editing workspace. Needless to say, that represents a huge waste of time, as I’ve got every panel undocked and dragged all over my two monitor display.

Please let me know what I’m doing wrong…

You’re right–it’s not warp stabilizing the precomp in any good way at all…anybody from Adobe got an idea on this?

[Dave Fleming]

I’m thinking I got the process backwards…I should have made the mask on a duplicate layer, precomped both layers and then run the warp stabilize on the precomp…?
