Full Screen View Results in Monitor Disappearing From Editing Timeline

I just found a bug in VPX6 - I think. When I go to full screen mode and then back to the editing screen, the left video monitor is gone. I have to go to WINDOW-->WINDOW ARRANGEMENT--->_default to reset the editing layout in order to have the monitor re-appear.

Has anyone seen this problem?

Can users of the new VPX6, simply try to replicate....1) load a move. 2) switch to full screen mode and play a few seconds od the movie. 3) Then return back to your normal editing screen. Does the left monitor disappear.

Thanks, Bart

Hi Bart,

Just started playing with my new toy. I can't replicate what you did. My left monitor is the playback and the right one is preview. I tried both monitors, using the little rectangle in the upper right of each window to go to full screen, same to come back. No problem.

You didn't mistakenly click on the x to go back to normal size did you? I tried that and my monitor disappeared as I expected it would. Shift+v brings it back ( or Window - Program monitor.

Hope this was all it was.

Hi John:

Thanks for the input. It's good to know if others are having the problem or not. I'll look into your suggestions when I get home from work.

Magix support sent me their utility software that interogates the computer to see if I have something installed that's effecting the program. I had another issue where I was trying to load a DVCPRO HD file but had no CODEC installed for that format and Video Pro X6 was suppose to give me a pop-up dialog box where I can purchase the DVCPRO HD CODEC right from the program. That never happened and I'm scratching my head about that.

Sometimes i get frustrated because I contacted Magix and their advice was the blame is on the anti-virus software or the program wasn't 'run-as-administrator'. Maybe software should 'sense' when other programs are impeding a function and alert the user. That should seem hard to do.
