Extended Viewer as an option to be enabled for 2D rather than only 3D

The new extended viewer is a great addition to the program, nice being able to see outside of the viewer frame! It would be amazing if this was an option for a 2D workflow, there's definite benefits for being able to have vision of what's outside the frame


A workaround for those who like this as well, you can create a simple 3D layer and hide it. It will allow you to still use the draft 3D mode to have the extended view enabled for your 2D layers. Not sure what impact it would have on performance though having 3D enabled!

    I have always wanted extended view for 2D as sometimes I receive storyboard art that I have to reframe and not being able to see the bounding frame provided makes things a little bit hard to eyeball. the workaround is great but it is an extra step. it would be nice to have the extended view button always on the panel ready to toggle without any extra steps. 

    thanks for making this suggestion.

      Hi Josh - so glad you are enjoying the Extended Viewer addition! You are not the only one who has sent in this request, and I will definitely add your vote to the pile. But I am also happy that you have already figured out the workaround - as long as you have Draft 3D enabled, you will see all layers outside the comp boundary.

      Thank you for your feedback!
