Dual monitor editing in Adobe Premiere Pro 

Great content I definitely will use all this tips you just shared I appreciate how well you explain all the settings keep up the great content!

Thanks alot for the help with the transmission option! Definintely helps with fine tuning overlays and effects. It was such a pain trying to make some detailed opacity cutouts.

Thanks for this! Switching from FCPx so learning all the INs and Outs of Pr.

I don't know why I never thought to do the keyboard shortcut for mercury transmit lol. Great tip.

Hi Colin, nice to see you again! All your videos are fantastic!

Nicely done--definitely expanded my idea of how to use the second monitor.

Double, triple, quadruple... desktop/screens. Window+CRTL+D. Window+Arrow to move between desktops. Windows+CRTL+F4 to close a desktop. New users to multiple desktops are fearful. No need. Wonderful.

Thank you so much!!!

Great presentation as always. Thanks Collin

Thank you very much for this great tutorial!

Such a helpful video, thanks Colin!

Diggin your ideas for custom workspaces. Thanks for sharing

Eres un campeón, muchs gracias 😄

Respect as always Sir. I love you

Video of great help! Wish you the best!

Wow thank you so much that really helped

love my two monitor setup

You are the best!!!!

Excellent! Clear and objective! Thank you, sir.

I needed this. Thank you

This is amazing! Too long have I been working solely on my McBook Pro screen. Thanks so much!

Another awesome tutorial video my friend! Keep them coming! Wishing you the very best! Blessings!!!

Great video!

Great video thanks for the upload ❤🐼❤️

I love having 2 monitors. Lots more real estate. Thanks Colin!

wat a great tutorial, thanks a lot. I have many learn 👍

That's a really cool, cool feature I never knew. I have a 32" TV monitor as my second monitor and this is going to help me a LOT. Thank you.

Great video sir! I bought a 32 inch tv I use as a second monitor, I edit on a laptop and use the laptop for a big timeline and the large tv for monitor and a couple other panels

always learning from you! Thank you for the f5 trick

Man your tutorials are always hella amazing. Didn't know you could output a fullscreen version of the preview which always led to me just grabbing the preview window and enlargen that to my screen size. Mirroring that to another screen is WAY better. Thanks a lot for that! I often feel like I'm kinda ok at editing and then see the professionals whipping out windows like the lumetri scopes and 500 different audio tracks at once like you do and immediately feel overwhelmed. Kind of as if it's impossible to get all this into my head. Any chance of getting a tutorial on lumetri scopes and how to work with them if there aren't any already?

very nice.

Thank you for this. I have been wondering how to make the best of my 2 monitor set up. 👍🏾

I'm sold)))

My most used key with regard to panels in Premiere is the ` key (AKA the ~ key) which toggles the maximize panel within the parent panel. You just have to make sure the pointer is over the panel you want to maximize.

Whats that youtube paper hung up and displayed on ur wall?

Pro teacher Collen , iam watching from South Africa

Wow! Wish I could do all that.

Genius! Thank you so much for the great tips! I have an old imac Im going to utilize as a second monitor. =)

I've been using a dual setup for years but have to replace one of them. Going to try one of those ultrawides. Have you ever used one of them?

Always grateful for you, Colin. Can you tell us what hub you use to connect everything? Thanks!

Hey Colin, another great video, thank you! I have 2 somewhat related questions for you. 1. What are you using to record your audio?? Your narration is crystal clear! 2. What are you using to record your screen? I've tried the built in Windows Game Bar and I even purchased a third party product but neither are very easy to work with. Thanks in advance. Keep up the great work with these tutorials!

Great video as always! Do you have a video regarding connecting Premiere to an SDI monitor set-up?

Mr Smith you are so advanced

nice video Colin, as always) I have a suggestion: can you share your two monitor workspace presets with us?) So we can touch and feel some good and ready workflow solutions

Dual monitors make it easier to search for details.

Good video... Is it possible to convert HDR to SDR (Rec 709 with Gamma 2.4 to maintain HDR tone mapping )in premiere pro and media coder ?

Great video Colin. Is it possible to have a third monitor so that it is feeding from the timeline only. I am using Edius and about to change to Premer Pro. With Edius, I have always had a third 4k monitor which was using the HDMI feed from the video card. Is this possible with Premier?

Which model LG monitors are you using? I'm looking to get a new monitor that is 32" or a little bigger.

Colin did you ever try an ultrawide monitor?

Hi Colin, can this be done in davinci resolve as well?

Hi Colin. Thanks for another great video. On Avid, you can save Workspaces to your User Profile, which is great for working across multiple machines in multiple different companies. Is there a similar way to do this for Premiere? I'm taking on more and more Premiere work now and it would be great to be able to bring my Workspace settings with me, although from Avid I know how many problems this can throw up. Cheers from the UK!

Are thousand dollar or more 4k monitors necessary for a person interested in learning how to edit, particularly in premier pro in your opinion? Im looking at a 40" 4k lg monitor thats a bit pricey for me at around $1,700. Wondering if you think say, a 3 or 6 hundred dollar monitor would do the trick.

Hello. So, excitedly, I set up a number of workspaces. Later, when I selected any of them, any or all showed up discombobulated. Some panels showed up in different places, different sizes, or not at all. Any ideas on that?

I have been editing both photos and video with two monitors for years unless traveling and using my laptop. I recently updated my system with a new Dell 5820 workstation pretty full or ram and as much power as I could get out of it to replace my old Dell so I could work with 8K files. I stopped updating Adobe at the 2017 version because the newer version were not as good in my opinion. For this new computer, I could no longer download the 2017 version even in the older versions tab. With the newest version, it does not save my layouts and I get LOTS of audio drop outs. I have to save a separate MP3 and then render. I am glad that saving workstation layouts works for you - I have to reset with each project. It also seems to me that Adobe is now trying to copy DaVinci with the layout but misses the mark on color by a LOOOOONG shot. The only thing I think Adobe does better is chroma key. I have not yet made the full transition to DaVinci but I do think that time is fast approaching. I don't mind paying for it but it feels like a bloated, outdated software that fresh out of college kids were hired to try to make it relevant. At one time, I would recommend Adobe to everyone. Now, I point them to Resolve........ but I still use two monitors on both my computers!!! And in the past, I did have to hit your channel to fix the many problems I was having with Adobe. Glad it is still working for you. PS do a search - you will find that MANY are having the same problems with Premiere that I do....... PPS - I have a similar set up to you with the KRKs and used the 2017 version as a DAW. For my most recent music project, I have been using Reaper - the new effects in the new version of Premier are..... garbage. Just my $0.02. Really sad to see a great product go down so for in quality. Too much bloat.

Hi, I'n using a dual monitor setup. I want my timeline on the 2nd monitor since it's bigger. But when I try to put footage for example on the timeline, it wont allow me. It also doesn't work when I hit play

Mercury transmit has always worked for me, the only issue is that the keyboard mapping does not seem to "toggle" it on and off, it just leaves it on in my case, so not sure what is the issue there, thanks for the great videos !

Triple monitor should be ideal. One for media explorer, one for timeline and one for fullscreen program/final output, just like the good old Avid days... 😉

Hi Colin. You mentioned in this tut that this is your "typical workspace" with your 2nd display ( from in point 1;42 to 1;56 on the video ) but you dont mention how you did this ???? I have a second monitor and would like to do the same display as you but my 2nd screen does not connect to. ( it was connected and all of a sudden it lost the connection and went back to a screen saver picture now I can not get adobe back onto the 2nd display ) Mt preference playback boxes are both ticked but still nothing. I have tried the power on and off, nothing seems to work ... I wonder if you can help

The main problem of changing workspaces in Premiere is its ubelievably slow interface even no matter how powerfull your PC is. Especially, with high resolution monitors. Because of this changing the workspace takes several seconds every time. So if I, for example, was working on a sound and suddenly noticed that I need to fix the colors a bit in one single clip (what I can do in a 5-10 seconds) and than immediately take back to sound editing, than I also have to wait 2-3 seconds for Premiere to reload the workspace back and forth :\ P.S. Sorry for my bad English if smth.

I have a huge problems... I use 3 monitors, and sometimes is laggy, I have a i7 12gen and a 3080ti. I pull panels to the other monitors and ok. But when I use it in one monitor the smoth is just amazing, how can I fix this? I feel really bad because for many years I work with 3 monitors, and now I found out with one monitor is just much more fluent, made me feel bad. Any Idea? Thanks!!!!!!

I have two problems with my dual monitor setup. Mercury playback doesn't take up the entire screen on my second monitor, it only takes up about 2/3's of the screen starting from the bottom left corner. I made a workspace on my 2nd monitor, but the panels are resized so they're smaller when I reopen Premiere Pro. For example, I have the window for an extension taking up about a fourth of my 2nd screen, but it resizes to a tiny square when I open Premiere Pro again. And is there a way to duplicate a panel so you can them on both monitors. I want to duplicate the program monitor so I can have it take up about 1/2 the screen of my second monitor. I also have a Loupedeck CT, so I'm thinking I can make a macro to have the program monitor go fullscreen on the second monitor. I won't have to mess with Mercury playback that way.

Do you still think that 2 seperate monitors is useful vs one super wide. I use a very wide monitor and a huion tablet

Ok so I got the F5 mapped, but it doesn't do anything. And you move on to other stuff

One thing you didn't explain that sadly most editors don't know is that if. you are using Mercury Transmit to display fullscreen via GUI the colorspace is not valid for professional level color grading. That must be done thru a external device or card such as Blackmagic or AJA to a calibrated monitor.

Did you even show how to turn on thumbnails? Im sorry but those thumbnails seemed to magically appear on the workspace panel
