My setup:

latest 15" Macbook Pro

latest Adobe Premiere ProCC

HP Monitor

I want my big Monitor as a primary display and for working on premiere pro.

macbook should just be the secondary monitor for full playback.

but it's not working.

it only works when i make the macbook the primary display and then rearrange all the windows.

then everything works.

that sucks.

any ideas?!

I ended up fixing it by going to System Preferences, Mission Control, and disabling Displays have separate spaces!

HOOORAAAYY! (now everything works nice and smooth and as it should)

I know this thread is like 3 years old and there is a solution to this, but I think I found a better solution if anybody wants Displays have seperate spaces

ok so the problem I had was I had about 4 spaces ( virtual desktop) open and I usually work on desktop 2, my secondary screen is labeled desktop 4 BTW.

whenever I enable mercury transmit to my 2nd monitor, it appears on my primary monitor.

yes, disabling displays have separate space did "partially" solve the problem. I say partially because if you use a full-screen app/window, this will render the 2nd monitor useless. 

so the workaround was I created a new space and moved whatever was on Desktop 2 to the new space and deleted desktop 2 and this fixed the problem for me.

I think for some reason the system recognized desktop 2 as monitor 2 which is a weird behavior because that would mean I would have up to 4 monitors listed in mercury but there wasn't.

well anyway if anyone needed a solution without disabling displays have separate space, here's your solution.

I've attempted to duplicate your setup and had no issue using either my monitor or my laptop as the display. I did notice you have an AirPlay display selected under your Display preferences in OSX. If you set that to off, does that work?

Yes the setup used to work with my 4yrs older macbookPro.

but i got a brandnew one yesterday.

AirPlayMonitor is set to "aus" german for: "off" / "disabled".

there aren't any other options neither.
