Issues & Suggestions: Vertical Window Duel Screen Layout

PostSat Apr 26, 2025 6:50 pm

Hi
I’m not sure how to use this, both vertical and horizontal.
I love the way the Team has laid out the elements and how comfortable they are to use. I would just love to be able to use dule screen layout.

For both vertical and horizontal layouts, the right-hand screen has elements way too far away to use.

>Please add an additional layout for right vs left main window layouts in the “Window” menu. This can be just to simply swap the secondary screen layout over to put the elements on the right to the left and vice versa.

I estimate at least a quarter of all the resolve editors work this way. Every studio including all the Avid MC and Premier edit suits in the networks and facilities I’ve worked in have the main editing window on the left as the producers & directors in the broadcast control rooms are typically on the left so in edit they also naturally be on the left.

Currently Editors that have the main window on the left are forced to use a single screen layout.

Here are some additional ideas for the vertical layout:
>1 please add an additional media bin button on the secondary screen.
>2 Please add an additional effects pallet button next to the keyframe editor button.
>3 Floating keyframe window pleas add a Maximise window button.
>4 Floating keyframe window please allow resize and moving. This is critical.
>5 In full screen timeline Please consider a toggle between keyframe window and timeline.*

*When we are in the keyframe window there is no focus on the timeline or any need to see it.

The UI is the part of the program that makes things comfortable like a favorite chair everything around you in the perfect place.
Thank you.

We generally use second screen on left bro. Not right but im totally agree you about position for keyframes. These are so useless on that tight space
Intel i9 13900K, MSI Z790, 64GB, Asus RTX5090 Astral, 11.5TB M2 SSD, Win10
Nvidia Studio Driver (always latest), Quad-Monitor Coloring Setup, Mini Panel, Loupedeck CT
