    Of course it is. But a 40" monitor is quite big for this.


    You open Final Cut.

    Go to Menu > View > Video Playback: Here you find an option to select your second monitor.

    What happened when you tried those options? FCP won't give you a list of attached monitors if that's what you are looking for. Also, something to keep in mind is that what you'll see is just an approximation of what your footage looks like.

    Dual Monitor with output

    I previously was using apples older displays the ADC's one 20" the other 23" I recently upgraded to two Cinema Displays matching size and the option to have final cut do video playback on my second monitor has disappeared. It's quite irritating because I know that It can do this. Does anyone know why it went away and what to do about it? I would really appreciate any help anyone has.

    Thanks
    Adam
