Thanks for anyone's help. I have a third monitor hooked up to my computer, and want to watch footage from my timeline. But the playback is only for when I click on source footage. It won't playback my stringout from the timeline or "Program" window. I'm probably missing something simple here...can anyone point me in the right direction? MUCH APPRECIATED!!!

    If you go to Preferences > Playback, what is the Video Device set to?

    Hey Meg. It's set to the right screen. So I think it actually worked itself out somehow...basically the third screen was only playing back footage if I double clicked on it and it showed up (I don't know if your workspace is the same as mine) in the top left window where source footage plays. But then when I clicked on the timecode bar in my timeline to play footage back that I had in my sequence, no footage would playback on the monitor. But, I opened up another sequence to see if I could get footage to playback, and bam! It started playing back. I appreciate the screen-shot you sent, I double checked and the right monitor was selected...I guess it was just a quirk that needed to work itself out...but I think I'm good now. No matter where I click footage, if I play it back in Premiere, it plays back on the third monitor. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP and responding so quickly!!!!
