Re: [Avid-L2] full screen playback on an iMac

 

No BOB. I need to be able to do this without a video card. I want to see full screen Avid playback on an iMac. Does it work? Or do I need a second monitor hooked up via Thunderbolt, then the Full Screen Playback goes to THAT monitor? I want to see the Avid Sequence or Source monitor full screen on the iMac. I'm assuming it doesn't work that way.


I've always had a video card and I've always edited using a video card unless I'm cutting on my laptop.

Steve, do you have some kind of BOB attached?
IIRC, if you do then that will not be a selection unless you set MC to be SW only -- isn't there a button for that now in the Timeline window? I work SW only so much I forget!

I have always had computers with video cards so I have never used the full screen playback.

Now I am working on a brand new iMac with MC8 and Mavericks.

I have the settings in the Settings List set to Full Screen, but at the moment I only have the iMac screen. Do I need a second monitor to do full screen playback? I want to be able to occasionally show the director the footage full screen.

When I right click on the sequence monitor, the Full Screen option is greyed out. Is that because I don't have a second monitor?

Rookie questions, I know. I'll get up to speed on Media Composer soon though. :-) This is way different than FCP-X, I'll tell ya.
