jeremy, thanks for all the feedback. I updated my FxFactory plugin and that is maybe helping a bit.

Right now I have everything viewable on my primary display and the viewer is full screen on my secondary monitor. In the Window menu, the options for secondary are greyed out. I also don’t know how to get rid of the viewer now from my primary display. It’s not listed as an option in the menu. Double clicking the top bar does nothing.

The lack intuitiveness of this layout is killing me.

I used the quick key to hide the app, the first thing that happened was the secondary screen went white, after 3 seconds, the app ‘hid.’

I do also have Magic Bullet Looks installed, but around 2 versions old. They told me they know of no known issues. Not sure I’m ready to spring for the upgrade costs.

Sliding around the browser width is working okay now. It’s not bouncing back. Now, if I could just remove the viewer on my main display…

Yes, FXPx has come a long way. I used the original x version to cut a feature. WHAT A PAIN. I pushed my team to use Premiere, but I lost out. And we all paid for it in the ensuing years. I’ve been using Premiere since 1996 and went to FCP3 when Adobe had ditched Apple for a bit. I’m slowly transitioning back to Premiere. Apple is still playing catch up and can’t even do basic things like window layout that it handled just fine before the jump to X. It’s great for cutting short, quick things, but outside of that, I still can’t depend on it.

Most of mine have to do with the new layout features. However, those bugs are causing the app to ‘freeze.’ No spinning beachball, when I go to force quit, it doesn’t show that it’s crashed, it’s just unresponsive. I am using two monitors. 90% of the time I open the app, my second monitor set to show my viewers, is just solid white. I select in the menu to change it to something else, and it all freezes up. But if I select to show the views in my main monitor, I can work, while the second monitor stays white. A few small irritants to do with the layout. The audio meters are huge. So I can slim them down, but when I quit the app and reopen, they are big again. I’m annoyed that I cannot slide my timeline to be the full width of the screen. the only way to do that is to turn off the inspector. I wish I could have the inspector only be the top half, giving room for the timeline. When I did the work around earlier, adding the viewer back to my main monitor, it made the file viewer ‘browser’ very small and gave more room to the list of events/projects, etc. So I grabbed the slider between the to to make the browser larger, it slid over, but when I released the mouse, it bounced back over. Tried a few times with the same result.

FCPx still has a LONG way to go.

yeah, in a previous version of DV I had some of those settings on (input/output processing) but since updating it turned itself off and I left it that way. The final result seems to be the same.
