If you drag the popup to one of the screens, it should open in the new location from that point onward. I use multiple screens and seldom see this issue anymore.

[Tero Ahlfors] “I’d personally export straight to MPEG 2 using the MPEG 2 DVD presets because that’s the format it will be transcoded to by the authoring software.”

[Sean Winn] “I need a .mov file from Premiere that’s encoded as h.264, but Premiere doesn’t seem to offer this like Final Cut.”
Scroll down to the bottom of the video tab to change the target bitrate setting.
[Sean Winn] “I know about the quicktime option under format. As I stated, when choosing this, it produces huge files.”
The highest bitrate QT will produce for H.264 is about 20 Mbps for 720p24, and 25 Mbps for 720p30 (when key frame distance=1, Quality=100, and bitrate is unconstrained). The settings can be adjusted to get smaller files.

[Dave Andrade] “… it just occurred to me that I did convert the file from the *.mov file from the camera (I shot on a Canon t2i for this) to an mp4. Do you believe this may be the cause? Will the source file inherently give me more latitude as far as whites/blacks are concerned?”
Sometimes YCC values will get clipped during the transcoding process. The source file should be checked in the YC and RGB Parade scopes prior to conversion. Please refer to this post and this follow-up post for more information.

Also, you can echo the program monitor in full screen on another connected display/televison by selecting | Edit | Preferences | Playback | and under “Video Device” enable the display you want to use for full-screen playback.

For clarification, do you mean a third hardware monitor (i.e. physical display), or another Premiere Pro monitor panel tied to the timeline (in addition to the Program Monitor and Reference Monitor)?
– Adding a third display depends on your OS and hardware. If the system supports three simultaneous video outputs, just undock Premiere Pro panels as desired and move them to the new monitor.
– I do not believe Premiere supports a third monitor panel for the active sequence beyond the Program Monitor and Reference Monitor.

Also, try to minimize the number of open timelines. Premiere sometimes struggles when multiple large sequences are open simultaneously.
-
The scroll wheel moves the visible area in the timeline window (PC). Are you asking for the scroll wheel to move the playhead forward and back (like the jog disk in previous releases)? The left and right arrow keys on the keyboard serve this function.
-
When the cursor lies above the timeline panel, scrolling the mouse wheel will move the timeline back and forth (CS6).

Highlight the desired items in the Effect Controls panel for the first clip and copy/paste to the new clip.

[Joe Bell] “I’m currently embroiled with wanting to apply AE process to my Premier Sequence”
Here are a few options:
- Bring the clip into After Effects using a Dynamic Link to the Premiere project instead of using copy/paste; or
- In After Effects, instead of placing two clips end-to-end with a cross-fade effect, place the clips on different tracks one above the other, overlap the cross-fade area, and apply opacity keyframes to the ends of each clip; or
- Apply the desired effects in AE first, then bring the clips into your Premiere Project using a Dynamic Link to the AE composition; export from Premiere.
