Ultramon makes awesome multi-monitor software, too.

I use Cntl-1 to move a window to the left, and Cntl-2 to move a window to the right.

Have you seen the multi-monitors used by Bill Gates and Al Gore? See here: http://www.kevinkane.com/2009/08/boost-productivity-52-and-save-2-5-hours-daily-with-multi-monitors/

Display Fusion is a must have if you have 2+ screens(which is also a must have) Ctrl+Win+x is my most used bookmark these days. knowist’s last blog post..Hiring a software engineer

If you’re mixing multiple monitors across multiple computers, I’d also recommend Synergy (http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/). At my old job, I had 3 computers across 4 monitors, and at home I use synergy to control the desktop hooked up to the TV from my laptop. Its moderately off topic, but maybe you can do a post on it another time :P

Universal is our client…I’m over in Studio City…I’m with Key Code.

Hit me up if there is anything I can do…not only do I consult, but I also edit/mix :)

I don’t have a say in how my work computer is configured (that’s the Universal Studios engineers), but for the record I’m mixing to a QT window. I like it though, I don’t have any problems, I just wish I had a wide monitor instead of a square one.

Hey Marcelo, perhaps I can shed some light on your problem or suggest alternatives…I do this for a living :) Are you mixing in PT to a QT window or outputting video via an I/O card/device?

Ah, good catch. I originally was going to just have it say “*-I’m sure that there’s a study somewhere, but can’t you just take my word on it?” but then since you called me out, I felt that it was necessary to actually include some content.

Fixed!

At work I have a monitor and a TV set. The monitor shows my Pro Tools window and the TV set is reserved for the picture I’m cutting sound against. This is standard in my business. I wish my PT monitor was widescreen, that would give me more room in my timeline, but it’s no biggie.

At home I have a widescreen monitor and a second cheap LCD which is my “tv set” when I have to cut at home.

Also, you never paid off the asterisk at the beginning of your post.
