Two windows in One Monitor with DaVinci Resolve?

PostThu Feb 22, 2024 3:34 am

I’m trying to figure out if I can have two windows side by side of equal size for the purpose of editing in DaVinci resolve and watching tutorials in the other window. I purchased a 32 inch monitor to be able to do this and I can figure out how to minimize the window for DaVinci Resolve enough.

I have searched everywhere for this and can’t find anyone to explain if this is even possible. I’m trying to avoid having to buy 2 monitors if possible.

The attached picture is the smallest I can get DaVinci Resolve and have another window open at the same time.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you and have a great day.

Ya know... I just play the tutorial on an iPad and set it off to the side when I need to use Resolve and watch one of the lessons at the same time.

As far as I am aware, Resolve's minimum supported screen resolution is 1680x1050... you won't be able to shrink the Resolve UI into a smaller space than that, regardless of the physical size of your monitor.

I use the Alt+Tab method to switch between full screen windows, myself.

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.
