Dual screen - configuration, possible?

PostFri Jan 27, 2023 7:24 pm

How to configure Davinci so that the rectangles placed in the screenshots, are on a different screen.
Sometimes I need to set something precisely, and it's difficult in the tiny Fusion window to do this.

Yeah, that's true. Missed that.

But then...just drag the window larger?

The way I deal with this in Fusion is to spread the UI across two monitors by using the:

Workspace --> Dual Screen --> On

menu path. Then I use

Workspace --> Layout Presets --> Fusion Presets --> Big Nodes

which leaves the viewer, Spline and Keyframe panels on your main screen and everything else on the other. If you turn off Spline and Keyframe then the viewer fills the whole screen. And you get a really nice amount of screen real estate to manipulate your node graph, too.

I actually have three monitors, so when I do this with "Video Clean Feed" enabled on the third it means I have a nice large space to manipulate the onscreen controls in the Fusion viewer and at the same time can see what the result looks like on the clean feed. It's a great way to work, IMHO.

Alas, the other pages don't have the layout options that Fusion does.

I often use Fusion for tasks that I could have done in the Edit page because I'm quite comfortable with the Fusion workflow, I find Fusion's on-screen controls and ability to control keyframes and splines much better than in the Edit page, and because I can make better use of my screen real estate.

I need some Windows software that recognises what screen I'm working on and automatically reconfigures DaVinci.
