Playback full screen

I would like to use my monitor as the external playback device in Sony Studio Platinum 12. It  should play the trimmer on an external monitor – the PC monitor in my case. Clicking the icon displays the preview as a still, but it doesn`t play it.

You can do this in Elements (playback full screen) which shows the playback controls.
Any ideas please?

I don't quite understand?

in FCP the second monitor is just that.

You would;d use the on screen (other screen) transport controls to start/stop or use the JKL Spacebar shortcuts.

Hi Dave.

The program says that the trimmer window can be sent to an external monitor/TV. As with some editors, the playback can be full screen on the PC monitor which it does, but as a still. If the clip is long enough, I can play it and hit the full screen icon. It plays to the end, but there are no means of either re-play, stop or pause. Pressing the “JKL” keys have no effect. So I don`t understand either....

Re: Playback full screen

Just found the answer! Playback of the trimmer window on an external TV via a DAC100, is the normal bit and works well.

Playback of the timeline can be on the PC monitor, with play/pause control. There is an icon above the preview monitor, (Alt+shift+4) as you see, I am still learning......
