It needs to be small because it will be used in a lab situation with a row of computers and monitors next to each other. OR is there a software program that allows your computer screen to become a TV monitor. We have G-5 macs ( most updated ) and Apple cinema displays. Thanks.

And what format is your timeline? It sounds like you may have a mismatch. What format are your clips? And what format is your timeline? It sounds like you may have a mismatch.

I am also outputting VIA firewire to a Panasonic PV-GS120 consumer DV camcorder to preview my final product on a Sony Trinitron monitor. I am curious why I can only preview my timeline (my "Canvas Screen") in Final Cut and not my "Viewer Screen" in my external Sony monitor in real time. When I load a motion clip into the "Viewer Screen" and play it, I only see my clip in my "Viewer Screen" and not my Sony Trinitron monitor. All I see in my Sony Monitor is a freeze frame of the selected clip. I've looked all over to find a setting adjustment with no luck. My only remedy is to create a NEW sequence and play the clip I need to see in my external monitor. FYI - I only do this to check mainly color but also overexposure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. David I am using Final Cut Pro Academic and using dual monitors for edit (Apple 20″ Cinema + HP 8220 : 1680×1050).

I use FCP 6. Question: Do I still have to have Blackmagic or AJA? If so, why? Thanks. Guy,

Does it have component, HD-SDI or HDMI output? With some cards and connections you can loop the signal through the computer and out to the monitor. Good HD monitors would be 1920x1080 LCD from your local store. Great monitors would be those from Marshall Electronics. http://lcdracks.com/ Michael,

I've been looking for a good way to monitor my HD editing on an external monitor. I've been looking at the Blackmagic Decklink HD, and the Blackmagic HD Link Pro for monitoring straight from my camera while shooting. Do I only need one over the other? And do you have any suggestions on good HD LCD monitors? Thanks. I’m interested in #7 as well. I’ve been looking for a good way to monitor my HD editing on an external monitor.

I'm considering buying the AJA Kona 3 card, but like your idea of the Blackmagic Intensity Pro and an LCD. Our project is HDV, brought in via firewire to FCP 6, but we want a nice HD output, as well as being able to color correct. Any updates would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jenn Hi Josh,
