Blackmagic Forum

On a widescreen monitor in would be nice to have the option to display source monitor, record monitor AND the inspector. There's plenty of space (see screenshot attached).

Weird, I can do as much on my 16x9 monitor

If you have at least 1440 horizontal resolution, you can.

But I do. It's actually 5120 x 2160 (Ultra-wide 5K), scaled to look like 2560 x 1080 on MacOS.

Don't do any scaling for the display. That often throws things off.

The scaling he mentioned is (I believe) the default resolution for that display in macOS, just like the default resolution for the 5K Studio Display is 2560x1440 (QHD). Any scaling in macOS system preferences is fine, only Windows has problems there.

Thank you for your reply, but it’s really not helping.
Isn’t this what this forum is for? The let the devs know there’s something wrong there.

Make sure you do not have Single Viewer Mode enabled in the Workspace menu.

If that was the case, the source monitor would not show up at all, imho.

I've noticed that if you have Resolve on a single screen selecting the Inspector appears to automatically disable one of the views, possibly by design. On dual screens this does not happen.

Depends on monitor resolution

Try, reset UI

Entirely inexplicable behaviour, if by design. There's zero reason to take away the Dual Viewer button when side panels are open. Just shrink the viewers!

This behaviour has been around forever, and one can only hope that Blackmagic are objectively looking at how they handle their UI.

I reset the UI - doesn't help. For me, dual view doesn't even work with the media pool hidden away. I think the problem is by design, imho. Somehow, DR is getting confused with the scaled resolution as soon as the inspector comes into play.

It works when I scale to 3360x1417 - but for me the UI is too small then. My clue: DR references the vertical height instead of the width to decide whether to use dual viewers or not.

Peter, might be worthwhile to check in with the devs about this issue.

Doesn't seem like they care at all... sad

please fix this!!

I think it’s just like reading your inbox. If you stay on top of it it’s not too bad. If you leave it for days or months or years it becomes overwhelming. I suspect that’s where they are with UI nits.

DR 20 beta3 claims that they have fixed GUI issues on wide screens, but I see no change.
