External monitor button

[Boka2112]

Hi, does premiere have a external monitor button or hotkey like after effects which is forward slash to toggle the preview on the monitor?

Yes, called "Mercury Transmit". It's in the Preferences/Playback dialog.

It's available as a keyboard short but you need to manually set it. Edit/Keyboard and type in "Transmit" should get the option showing.

I have it set for Shift-C.

Oh yeah, thanks for getting me up to speed.

After all these years of it working, the option is now gone.  Does it have a different name?

[Boka2112]

Ah, found it.  It's called Show Current Frame on Monitor.

I have no "show current frame on monitor" option anywhere. Where is that on yours?

After Effects hotkey for External Monitor can be found using the word External and assigning it in the keyboard shortcuts menu.

Disregard my last post. It was wrong.

Actually, it does!  No edit function on this forum is killing me.
