Still working in 2021! You are THE MAN! A lifesaver! Thanks
what if my monitors are of a different resolution?
Then you can't use all your screens to the fullest.
The solution to that would be switching DAW for example.
You saved me an endless night of headaches. Thank you for the video!! Just upgraded to dual monitor so this helped A LOT. Happy Holidays bro!
Great, enjoy
Finally!! No talk about freaking graphic cards and what not! Been having 1 window on two screens for years w.t.f thanks mate you rock!!!
you're the best.. thank you from colombia
Very helpful! thanks man
Super freaking helpful thank you
Thank you. Huge help.
Thanks for this...sometimes the simple things are the toughest to figure out :)
Glad to help. thanks.
Been awhile but there is a problem no one seems to be able to correct (including AVID support). If you have your monitors set up one above the other, the bottom monitor stretches the bus list and some plugin lists (Waves, etc) that have a lot in the list, off the bottom of the screen and no way to access them unless you open the list from whatever window (edit, mix) you have on the top monitor - then it uses both displays to show all of the list. This only happens when you have your monitors set up in the display settings as top/bottom displays ...
thanks from france homie !!!!
Thanks bro 💪,, work it imediatly,, 😎
I don't normally leave comment man you save my life thank you bro
I got it !
Thanks !
Thanks for that Benoni! I knew it could be done but didn't know how.
Using ProTools on a single monitor is a pain the the you know where!
Thank you good sir!
very helpful video ... thanks! Have you tried this technique with a 49" curved gaming monitor like Samsung?
Thanks man. 🙏🙏 may Godbless you.
Hello, does anyone know how to save the windows configuration so it opens up on 2 screens? I’ve saved the session multiple ways including in the template but it still opens up on the single screen. Thank you for any help!
yeahhhha, at last. You have no clue how much i been cursing over this and it turn out to be this simple. Thanks!!!!
Thanks a lot
Thank you :)
Great!!! Tks
Thanks!
thanks!!
holy shit i love you and thanks a lot!! XD
as long as you don''t maximize your main pt window, I've found that I can maximize the mix and edit windows in pt and they will conform to the grey area within that monitor. (running pro tools 12.7.1 native)
Thank you for your video. Instead having two screens, I expect buying a LG monitor 38 inches (38UC99) with a screen resolution of 3840x1600. Do you know if Pro Tools is capable to handle this resolution or do you know where I can get this information? Thank a lot for your help
Thanks, pretty lame Avid hasn't implemented such an essential feature properly.
Thanks
anyone knows how to get that grey background screen on mac to move those two windows?
Lol this was so simple I been fighting with this forever 😂😂😂 thx years later
Tnku!!
good looking
Is there a way to save this in a template form , so i don't need to do this every time?
very helpful video, like always... just one question I thinking of buying another monitor so I can have Pro Tools like thisand think I need a new graphics card which one would you recommend? I not a gamer just a audio freak with Pro Tools and Apollo and Eleven Rack... have a great day
I would suggest something from Nvidia that has two DVI ports or HDMI if that is what you prefer. But in most cases these days, it doesn't matter that much what video card you are using for Pro Tools.
Figured this out myself, sucks we have to do it in this super hacky way.
Good looking out!!! I just got my second monitor today and was so disappointed that I would not use the second monitor. Then I was like... That does not make sense. Let me ask RUclips... lol... Came straight to your video.. Problem solved!!!! Thanks!
Awesome, glad it worked out.
Can you do a tutorial on how to screen capture through pro tools? I can never get the audio from inside the daw to playback that would be extremely helpful!
What I have been doing for awhile now if recording everything separately and put the video and audio together in my video editing program. There are a couple ways that should work, but ASIO doesn't like to share itself. There is a free program that I want to do a demo of when I have time, but I really like having my audio and video separate.
Have they fixed the fact that when you go back to one monitor, (like move you session to a laptop or another pC) your mix (or edit) window is not hidden as if it is still on the other monitor? I hated that.
lol wow. thanks you rock
I got the second monitor and done it this way and I not sure how I used Pro TOols before with only one monitor, it so much better and easier to work, the one thing I had to do is make a windows configuration and save it in Pro Tools, so now every time I open up my Template the edit window on 1 monitor and the mix window on the other monitor,,,,, thanks again
once you go to two monitors, you can never go back, and not just for Pro Tools.
Thanks... it was an annoying dumb problem, but not anymore!
Great video!
Rant/venting:
- Cubase also had that butt-ugly 2000s look up to 2008 or so. Nice to see that Pro Tools will always keep that fresh Vaporwave 90s look. UI isn't everything, but you can see that they don't change many major things about it.
- In Cubase, you just connect your screens to your PC and you can start immediately.
- This is somewhat still a better feature than in Ableton, where you're forced to a maximum of 2 screens.
um ... this is kind of common sense to anyone who is used to using dual monitors. However - It would be nice if Mix and Edit Windows could be moved outside of Pro Tool Main Window ..... I have 3 Monitors - 2 at bottom and 1 at top centered. It would make it so much more productive if I could have the mix and edit windows on separate screens - while being able to flex between them and other programs running .... hopefully - Avid might change that in the future.
I'm a certified Avid operator and I can tell you that from 101 to 210M there's no info on dual screens but there is on everything else
its ridiculous but.. thanks Guy!
URawk!, Thx!
such a basic functionality....why not add a "second screen" view and automatically be fullscreen on both screens.....i think this is just a convenient thing to do, it would add a lot to the users' workflow
It starts at 1:20. Thank me later
Damn god let me kiss you wherever you want!
Lol. Best comment ever. Now if my gf felt the same way.... :D
hahaha
Actually you can maximize the mix window and the edit window , but don't maximize the container window, stretch it like he said across both screens
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Microsoft Windows
nope. Avid could program the windows to structure however they want. They choose not to. Other programs do, like GIMP.
It works with Steinberg Cubase and Sequel. Don't know why you should skip such a feature
how is this still a thing in 2020? Avid is really really far behind in the design department here. We lose tons of screen real estate for this stupid container window & the resulting double title bars, the fat window borders which serve no purpose, plus we have to constantly drag windows around instead of having elements adjust. Plus if the monitors are different resolutions, then you can't even use the full screen on the larger one... Compare the design to Ableton or Cubase and it's embarrassing... I want to be able to click the maximize button on the mix window and again on the edit window on the other screen, and be done with it.
Yeah, they could do it if they wanted. Some people say it's a Windows limitation, but that's not the case. Cubase does it, GIMP (totally free software) does it, etc...
Your into blew the ears off me, ouch.
not very helpful only because I have 3 monitors and 1 monitor is bigger then the rest
downeastaa Same thing applies, drag the gray container box across all three screen. If your resolution is different on some monitors than part of the box will be cut off, but you can still adjust the portion of the Mix or Edit Window however you like. I have 2 monitors, one has a slightly larger resolution and I have no problems. Keep in mind all windows do not have to be contained in the gray box, things like plugin interfaces can be placed outside of the gray container.
***** Yeah I use to have 3 of the same but now ones bigger and its in the middle I do still stretch it across but the middle monitor is a bigger resolution like allot bigeer 4x to be exact. I wish there was a way like the mac were you can move the channel box and stuff out of the gray one
dude. your intro is SO LOUD you litterally killed my system and my ears, that was really not necessary,
