November 23, 2015 at 9:46 pm in reply to: Making a dozen swish pans that must piggy back off each other.

Hi, Dave. I am animating the position of the pictures, but I am hitting road blocks. I tried putting all my pictures in one big comp and animating the position, but I hit AE’s 30,0000 pixel limit. I can’t figure out how to link pre comps together. The end picture of one swish has to be in the EXACT same position to swish to the next. I don’t know how to make this happen with pre comps . Almost all the pans are right to left, so I do hit the maximum comp width. I don’t know how to link the end of one come with the same picture starting another. I know this may sound really silly to an experienced AE user. I just don’t use it enough and I am totally stuck.

Thanks, Stephen! I ended up hauling my HP Dream Color into the office, after discovering I could get sound coming out of my computer at the same time in Premiere (unlike with Avid and FCP). It was a pain transporting it, but it’s stabile.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks! Sorry for the delay. Here is the step by step of what I have been doing:

1. I hook the monitor up to my mac book via HDMI

2. I go to “system preferences” and go to “displays”. Then, I click on “display” tab – for resolution, I select “scaled” and choose 1920×1080.

3. Then, in Premiere, I go “preferences” > “Playback” and check “Enable Mercury Transmit”. I then check “Adobe Monitor 2: 1920×1080”

Then, when I watch stuff in the timeline,most of the time it plays back on the 2nd monitor. But, sometimes, when I leave Premiere and come back, the image is gone. I then go through the steps again and it doesn’t bring the image back. Then I do it again – sometimes it comes back, sometimes it doesn’t. Then, I try it a few more times….then, I do some bit of magic that I don’t understand and then it comes back. However, this is unacceptable when it happens with the director there.

When I “lose” the image, I am just losing Premiere’s playback on the second monitor. I can still see the OS desktop on the second monitor.

When toggled to full-screen Premiere will playback to the second monitor, when Premiere’s program monitor is moved to the external/HDMI display. Actually, this may be a fix. I was trying to have the program monitor within the interface on my macbook display and play out to the second monitor, but this is proving unreliable and perhaps it doesn’t need to be there.

Hi, Tero.

My blackmagic setup isn’t applicable here at work, where it’s just an HDMI from my macbook to a cheap computer monitor (it’s a temporary setup).

I can use the Mercury Transmit to get full screen on the the second monitor, but there are other steps involved – mainly setting up the resolution of the second monitor in the displays settings of the system preferences on mac OS. Once I go through all this, I can get Premiere to display on the second monitor, but sometimes it goes away and I have to try the steps repeatedly to get it back. It’s very fiddly. Not sure why I lose the image and not really sure why it comes back after a random number of reattempts.

“Toggle Full Screen” only gets me full screen playback on the laptop, not the second monitor.

My Black Magic output is at home only. It’s macbook to black magic mini monitor (via Thunderbolt) and then HDMI into my HP Dreamcolor. Apparently there’s a way of sending sound out of the Dreamcolor if you get some special cables, but I haven’t dug deep into that.

Unfortunately, I’m also having this issue with After Effects. I have no idea what’s going on.

I got responses on other forums (I think facebook) saying it’s not possible.
