noob.
don't know if I'm in the right place for this, or if this has been discussed elsewhere, but I couldn't find it.
lots of NLE experience (vegas, FCP, avid, speededit, quantel...)
decided to try LW on my mac under bootcamp/xp.
I have a problem with sony vegas, irrespective of version, running on xp or w7 under bootcamp, & it's related to the video hardware & drivers that come with the mac (the same issue on an i7 27" imac, incidentally, though that's different h/w & drivers).
I wondered if the same issue might affect LW under bootcamp, & if this is why everyone is so keen for there to be a native mac version. after all, when bootcamped, the mac hardware is as a native windows environment, not a VM. so this has to be a drivers/GPU thing, right?
LW 11-0-0 (paid version) under bootcamp, xp sp3, on this 2009 unibody mbp with an external display...
I can stretch the application window across the two screens, but the behaviour is peculiar, especially if I then switch off the windows title bar & then put it back on again.
when it came back, the entire title bar was across the top of the main screen, but there was still a "residual" title bar, non-func, across the top of my second screen.
but in any case, video playback was not as good with the app window stretched like this, & wouldn't work on the second display at all.
what I really want to do, of course, is put the timeline, transport controls & bins on one screen, & the viewer window, as big as it will go, in the other.
is there a way to do this?
duncan.
