Hi,

I'm trying to use an external computer monitor hooked up to my DELL laptop to preview and cc my footage.

However simple things like applying a color curve or magic bullet looks plugin fail to work sometimes. Often it shows what it's supposed to, sometimes its like no effect is switched on. If I switch the preview to my laptop screen all plugins work as should.

Also another question. If I try to preview on external monitor I get a 0 fps preview, as in it doesn't play back at all! If I just drag the preview window to my 2nd screen it runs fine.

SOLUTION to my second issue!

By accident I turned on the "Update videoscopes while playing" and now I'm getting playback full screen on my external monitor! Also it ONLY works if I have the video scopes window visible in my laptop screen.
