Composition window disappears with advanced output

Post by atlibolla »

Hi there,
when I enable advanced output (I'm outputting one slice and a couple of masks to an HD TV) the composition window on my laptop disappears. I can still access the advanced output settings and even open the preferences panel, but the main interface just isn't there.

I'm running Arena 7.4.1 on MacOS 12.4.

Any ideas on what might be going on?

Thanks in advance,
A.

Try disabling display mirroring.

Display mirroring is disabled; I have my laptop monitor set as the main display and the external monitor as the extended display.

Any further help would be greatly appreciated as I would like to use Resolume at a big gig in two weeks' time.

A working workaround is to swap the main and extended display in display settings, but that means I can't access the Arena menu bar or swap between applications unfortunately (without showing the menus to my audience :) )

Does anybody have ideas on how I might fix this? It's definitely not optimal running the show on the main display in case there's a pop-up window or something like that.

Thanks,
A.

Never seen this one before, especially on a Windows machine.

If you right click on the app icon in the dock, choose Options, and check the display assignments there
It should be set to None or All.
