Question

Program Monitor Disappears

Hey Premiere Gurus!

I hope you can help me solve this minor issue. My set up is two monitors where my right one displays the program monitor full screen.

For some reason when I move to Export it disappears, which is normal as Premiere is temporarily combining the interface. However when I return to the Edit tab the program monitor stays gone.

I try going to Window and find Program Monitor unchecked with a > leading to the name of my sequence, which is checked.

The only way I can get it to return is by closing the project and reopening, which is lame and time consuming.

What is happening here and how can I fix so it does not disappear altogether or returns when back on Edit?

Thanks you so much!

    Found a fix.

    Workspace > ALL PANELS > Workspace (back to whatever you were using when it vanished).

    It is a fix, but if you have multiple sequences open (pancake timelines etc) then when you reset your workspace you lose all of those and have to re-open them.

      Exact same problem. 

      I use a second monitor and once I click EXPORT the program monitor vanishes and will only reappear by using the FULL SCREEN button, which is not what I want and does not have the same utility.

      To help you troubleshoot the issue, I need to understand how you added the Program Monitor to your second monitor. Did you drag the Program Monitor from the Application window to the second monitor, or did you use a different method?

      Cheers,
      Paul

        Yes! The program monitor was dragged from the application window to the second monitor. My workspace has been saved like this for years.
