sync bin / multicam - how to make it all fullscreen?

PostThu Mar 18, 2021 8:30 pm

I'd like to have one monitor showing all the angles in fullscreen (so without the user interface, only the angles), and one monitor (decklink) to show the result/timeline, so i have an optimal view of all that is happening. like this:
fullscreenmonitors.jpg
fullscreenmonitors.jpg (53.06 KiB) Viewed 1007 times


how can i do that? should i use the traditional multicam or is there a way to do it with the sync bin? apparently there is a way to get the sync bin in full screen, but this is mirrored in the decklink output, instead of the result. also, in this sync bin method i did not find a way to switch angles while playing back.

i searched all over the manual and pressed all buttons, but for the love of god i cannot figure it out. there has to be a way.

I don't believe this is possible.

I tried also everything, no possibility.
In Edius this is very simple to realize, why not in DR?

Just hasn't been programmed as a feature yet.

I need this multicam fullscreen mode so bad, I'm currently editing a musicvideo of a group that has 13 members, which I would like to all put into a multicam so that I can see them all at once and cut inbetween members. Multicam would be perfect for this use-case, except that its a bit hard to see all the 13 clips next to each other in the multicam window.

I made a pretty hacky workaround with the Autohotkey macro-tool:
I resize the resolve window with a script and rezize it back with another. I put both scripts into the taksbar to execute them quickly
(I use Windows 10)

If you want to resize in single display mode it would be:
Code: Select all
SetTitleMatchMode 2
WinRestore Resolve
WinMove, Resolve, , 0, 0 , 5000, 1600

if you are in dual display mode it is:
Code: Select all
WinMove, Secondary Screen, , 0, 0 , 5000, 1600

Change the resolution values to whatever you like

To reset the resolution you simply maximize the window or change it back via script as you did above but change the resolution to your display resolution.

Not sure if I will actually use this, but It might be worth trying

For further autohotkey-documentation google "autohotkey winmove"

I hope this will be implemented soon
