Grazie, it used to be here:
http://www.classondemand.net/ClassOn...ctSelected=130 A preview of the first chapter of the Vegas 5 Update DVD made by Tim Duncan and me used to be posted there but has since been removed. That chapter talks about saving screen layouts and using multiple screen.

screen one (far left)
timeline starts and is stretched out to the second i have my media pool, waveforms and mixer on teh bottom screen 2 i have the rest of the timeline, preview lower right, transitions in the centre and filters on the lower left part of the right screen then i have a firewire connection to my cam which i use as a reference monitor. There isnt much of a need for me to use a reference monitor for my work, i ony use it for colour corrections if necessary. |

1. my main laptop screen (1680x1050) has the main interface + timeline + explorer/effects/mixer and small monitor
2. my other screen (1024x768) has histograms/waveform/vectorscope OR documents (like excel sheet with shot logs) depending on what I need 3. monitor out to TV through camera Ideally I would like to have 4 screens to my computer + external broadcast monitor to get: - one screen with main timeline - one screen with documents (shot logs etc.) - one screen with settings dialogs, explorer, mixer etc. - one screen with histograms/waveform etc. - external monitor for preview Santa? <g>

note that in order to stretch the timeline across both monitors, you'll need to have 'em both displaying the same resolution.
i have a laptop, but currently no ntsc monitor connected, so i put the video window on a second crt monitor... if the second monitor is a crt, you can set it up to more closely approximate ntsc than you can with an lcd, but you may not be able to use seperate color balance schemes for each monitor... you'd have to try to do it by adjusting the crt display itself. |

My main monitor is an LCD (19") and my second is an old CRT (17"). I simply put the preview window on the CRT and leave timeline, explorer, etc. on the LCD.
I use it for Acid, too. I put VST synth windows on the CRT and leave everything else on the LCD. I've yet to explore other apps but I'm sure it'll be handy in others as well. Good luck. Dennis |

Comment on Dan's post
Just wanted to say that I have two monitors at different resolutions and I can stretch the timeline across both with no problems. The biggest problem for me is that the monitors themselves are vastly different sizes (21" and 15"!!) so I tend not to stretch windows over both anyway.
I have only just added a second display and I can't say it was a trouble free installation. Had I known to go into the BIOS first and change the display boot order to AGP first THEN the new PCI card I wouldn't have had the hassle of trying to boot Windows 'blind' (because it was starting up on the new PCI card). Live and learn. Now to replace the 15" with something more respectable.... |

if you are running one video card in the pc, there are ways to work with radically different monitor sizes and resolutions, depending on the card you have... it just doesn't always work with every video editor, and if you are trying to do something like span the timeline across different resolutions, it may be weird.
here is a great link that explains it in detail: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/...1674441,00.asp |

Great article, Dan, thanks.
I'm running one AGP and one PCI card, both nVidia GForce (one reasonable spec, one basic). Although it's only been a short while, I now can't imagine life with just one monitor! I have to say that I am already thinking about replacing the PCI card with a dual head so I can drop my other 'mature' 15" monitor on the other side! Then I guess I'll be looking out for a couple of 42" plasma displays. And a guide dog. |
