FCPX, the viewer, and secondary display

I saw where you explained this very clearly Luis ... but I couldn't quite translate it to what I'm trying to do. I want my MacBook Pro as the left screen, FCPX app as my middle screen, and the Full Frame of the Viewer Window on my third (right screen). That way my MacBook is used for all the ancillary work, like mail, web, Affinity Photo et al. – over on the left out of the way.


But when I set it up like this, and click the Full Frame display over the Inspector Window, FCPX displays on my MacBook Pro screen ... not my 4K BenQ over on the right. Here is a snap of how I've got the displays set up now. See attached. Perhaps you could say, 'aww Ben, just do this'. Which I will do immediately. Of course.

Awwww, thank you Luis. Works perfectly. And I think it was from you that I learned to line up the monitors in an even row to get the mouse to zip back and forth seamlessly. So thank you twice. This is working. Now I'm going to see if I can trust my newish BenQ 4K monitor (that's supposed to be perfectly colour balanced for grading, ha ha ha) ... or should I use the new 16" MacBook Pro Retina to get a more accurate read. Tis' certainly a lovely screen. Both are.


Diving into work. Now where's that espresso....


A grand day to you today L.
