How to stretch workspace over two monitors?

Hi

All applications not specifically designed for two monitor work, having undockable windows - you can always see to that not maximised windows and then just grab borders and extend workspace to second monitor. Like for ProTools as one.

#1. PRE15 does not allow me to do that - why?

It seems to figure out one monitor size and never let you exceed that.

I can move workspace freely - but not size it larger.

Is there a way around this?

Very convenient to look at longer timeline with higher resolution.

A setting you can hack in a settings file or something?

I can though, put mixer on second monitor and put the full workspace on second - but not stretch size above done monitor.

If I try to change window size the full workspace jumps to either monitor.

#2. Can you undock and put video preview on second monitor?

You could run video fullsize that way and keep workspace open for editing.

Thanks.

Quick view - nothing.

Expert view - eureka, there we have it.

Major thanks.

I can't believe there wasn't one word in manual about it.

So changing back to quick view you have to resize main window, if you made room below for longer floating timeline.

But Quick view has Restore workspace - which means nothing in that view, since nothing changes as you see it.

Anyway, if spending length time in expert view, good to know you can use that floating thing.

Mystery solved, anyway.

The Dual Monitor Workspace option in Premiere Elements breaks the Timeline off into a separate panel so that it can be moved to a separate monitor.

That is the only panel that can be separated from the rest of the program.

But where is it - the dual monitor workspace option?

I search forum, and a post in march, obviously PRE14 or earlier - referred to a View menu with these option - but have no View menu at all in PRE15.

I looked for pin/unpin things - but found nothing yet.

Searched manual for dual and monitor - not a single word.
