Dec 26, 2014 10:43 AM in response to foxwizgskby BenB,What is your second display, and now is it connected?
If it is a straight forward secondary computer display, look in the Window menu.
"Show Events on Second Monitor", and "Show Events on Second Monitor" are about half way down.

Dec 26, 2014 11:28 AM in response to foxwizgskby Luis Sequeira1,There is no way to put *just* the timeline on the second display. It would be strange, as that would leave most of the display unused.
The commands are to put the "events" or the "viewers" on the second display. However, if you want you can put the timeline *and* the events on one display by merely choosing to put the viewer(s) on the other one.
Note that it is up to you to decide which of the displays is the "second".
The main display is just the one where FCP X's main window is at any moment in time. So you could have, for example, pixel per pixel 5K material display in full glory in your iMac display, while keeping the timeline and browser in the other display.

Dec 27, 2014 1:03 AM in response to foxwizgskby Karsten Schlüter,… and if you don't have a 2nd display, you can do your own 'arrangements' by grabbing&dragging the 'dividers' or grey bars btw each area, or using several keyboard-shortcuts as ctrl-cmd-1 etc:
for diff. steps in my workflow, I have diff. screen-'settings' *
for editing, my timeline and preview are larger, for tagging, the Event-browser is in list-mode, color-correction needs just 'bars' in the timeline but the scopes etc etc etc
* unfortunately, FCPX in its actual incarnation does NOT support to save those screen-estate-arrangements!
Don't be shy to tell Apple an Enhancement request:

Dec 27, 2014 2:11 AM in response to Karsten Schlüterby Luis Sequeira1,I totally agree that the ability to save and retrieve custom layouts would be a *very* useful feature to have.
The Layouts folder has been there from the beginning.

In my lil' habitat, this is the #1 on my wish list of features.
.... actually did a test (kids, don't try this at home!!): just 'replacing' the Default.modulelayout-file from a diff. custom layout, doesn't do the trick. I guess, the layout-settings are hidden in a diff.place. Or across diff. places. Too sad …-
… hey, programmers:
After Event-Manager, Prefs-Manager and now Lib-Manager, a 5$ FCPX-Layout-Manager would be a 'killer app'!!

Apr 28, 2016 12:13 AM in response to foxwizgskby kanthisback,Simple. Move the FCPX application to the secondary Display then , choose Viewers on secondary window(which is the main window) also events oSo you have the timeline on second display and your chosen viewer and events on main window(mac )
