![]() You should be able to see the system's desktop. Secondary displays without host panels will not have a grey background. Dragging a window to that grey space will let you dock panels to it. Secondary displays with host panels enabled should turn grey. You can choose if secondary monitors display host panels or not. Regardless of however many displays you have, You will always have at least one host panel - The main panel with the project name at the top and name of project. A host panel is a grey empty space which you can dock or float media composer windows into. This way, you have one main host panel to dock everything to, and you can choose if secondary monitor display host panels or not. In your case, Why don't you maximise that main host panel to take advantage of your whole screen, then dock other windows to it? In Avid 2018 on PC systems, everything would be one host panel, and you were able to resize that host panel across all of your screens, then place floating windows ontop of them. The main panel which has "Avid Media Composer - (project name)" written on the tab/ribbon is technically a host panel. You'll notice that you'll always see at least one host panel. In my experience, when everything is docked to a host panel, media composer will remember the layout when saving the current workspace. Typically, setting host panels and docking windows to them is more reliable/stable than having everything floating about without host panels. You can either dock panels to each other and then resize them to fit the entire screen, or you can dock them to a host panel on a monitor. ![]() It's a 'background panel' you can dock other floating panels to. So it's more of a palette I guess?Ī host panel is simply an empty grey background space. So again, I ask "what is the thought behind this design?"ĪLSO – this "workspace window" doesn's show up in the Windows menu. The Project window (tools->project) does always contain my project. I'm not understanding the purpose of this window I cannot close that doesn't necessarily contain anything at all. Surely there is a way, but it's not very intuitive or following MacOS guidelines that closing a window quits the application. ![]() I realize now I don't actually know how to close a project in v2022. Now the Project window is just another container that I can close without shuttng down my project but there is also this "workspace window".Īnother odditiy is closing this window will quit the application, not close the project. The old paradigm made sense to me – Project window has all your bins from the root folder and if you close it, the project closes. Why is it that this window contains my project name but is not the Project Window? When I say Project Window I mean the window I get when I select Project from the Tools menu. It does seem that bringing this window forward sometimes helps for a bit with the windowing issues. This might be part of what is causing windowing issues, I'm not sure. But if I work with floating windows, I have no use for it – so I toss it offscreen somewhere (usually behind my composer windows). It is sort of the "main panel" when working in the default paneled workspaces. Here is a pic of the window/panel in question: It has the project name on it and in the default interface has the workspace buttons. The issue might be related to the "workspace container" or "project container"–– I'm not sure what it is called. Also usually one monitor is often grayed out in "host panels" –– which is again confusing.ĮDIT: I have realized that I'm not sure host panel is the issue. I believe this is related to the workspaces bouncing around – but no matter what I select in "host panels" menu, I can't make head nor tails of it. But the silly host panel seems to always be wanting to show up, so I just slide it under my composer/timeline on my rightside menu. I admit I do not understand what the "host panel" is – and what I'm suppsoed to do with it if I'm not using paneled bin containers – that is to say, my bins and windows float free like the rest of MacOS.
