![]() In the future, the goal is to also distribute the app through the mac App Store to make deployment even simpler.Īs the DisplayLink Manager app does not rely on macOS kernel extensions, it is not only easier to install, but it will also lead to increased stability/reliability, improved behaviour across OS upgrades, and seamless updates through the App Store.ĭisplayLink Manager app will introduce new elements/features like a graphical user interface shown in section 4.4. Today, the app is available as a standalone installer. Introduction: what is the DisplayLink Manager app for macOS? The DisplayLink macOS app or DisplayLink Manager app is a new way of enabling DisplayLink technology on macOS using a much simpler architecture. Current DisplayLink Manager app scope and limitationsġ. Other functions of the DisplayLink Managerħ. macOS Monterey: enable notifications when DisplayLink screens are activeĦ. Other times, I use the second monitor to display applications other than Final Cut.īut, if you didn’t know this option was there, you’d never use it. Whether to use Two-Monitor mode with Final Cut is personal preference. To switch screens from one monitor to the other, drag the Final Cut interface from the main screen to the second screen. This is what the rest of the interface looks like on the main monitor with the Browser on a second monitor. This is what the Browser looks like on a second monitor. Again, you can hide both the Browser and Inspector to have the equivalent of a full-screen timeline and full-screen Viewer. Note that, by default, both the Browser and Inspector are full-height. This is what the rest of the interface looks like on the main monitor. A second monitor makes working with stacked layer timelines much easier. To get more room for the Timeline, hide either the Timeline Index, the audio meters, or both. This is what the Timeline looks like, with the Timeline Index and audio meters enabled, on a second monitor. ![]() This is what the rest of the interface looks like on the main monitor, with the Viewer on a second monitor.

When the monitor icon on the left is blue, you are in dual-monitor mode. (If you don’t, it doesn’t.)

On my main iMac, I’ve lowered the resolution to make the text bigger, which makes screen shots of software interfaces easier to read. In the Display tab, adjust the resolution to your liking. NOTE: This adjustment is necessary so that when you drag an object, or move your mouse, the movement between monitors appears normal. In my case, my main iMac is on a small riser, with the second monitor lower to on the left which is what you see in the screen shot above. In System Preferences > Display, click Arrangement and drag the position of the second monitor to reflect its physical location. I’m using an Apple monitor in this article because it’s what I have at hand. NOTE: You can attach any monitor with an interface suitable for a Mac.
