Hi

Is it possible in première pro to work simultaneously on two videos in preparation for displaying as a dual screen video ?

Thanks

Hi Vidya

I have two projects in mind.

First based on a photobook I made. Basically I want to show two slide shows on two monitors side by side, synchronised. I want to work on the two at the same time so that I can develop interesting relationships between the images and have variable time overlap between the images. Rather like in a photobook, then I would also want some images to spread over both screens.

For the second project I have been taking some long slow single position movie shots in the landscape. Such as a shadow moving across a building, or trees in the wind. I want to make two sequences of these shots to be displayed side by side. Again so that the viewer can look between the two screen and (hopefully) see interesting relationships over time.

I am interested in the option of displaying on two TV monitors and also using two projectors. Both at full HD. Ideally the method I used could be extended to three or more screens once I get familiar with it. This is likely to form part of my final show for Master of Fine Art degree in August

Thank you in anticipation for your reply

Best wishes

Jim

Hi Jim

Many thanks - simple when you know how! - I tried this quickly and it works well. The problem comes in displaying. I have two screens on my PC working in extended desktop mode but can't quite get the display right using either quick time or windows film player. If I set the size manually there is still a small border visible. If I set to full screen, it goes to just one screen. The solution from "Safe Harbor" looks good.

I am wondering though if there is another way. In software is it possible to split the double width file into left and right portions. Then one would just need to start the two split files running at the same time on two devices?
