Why You Need Dual Monitors for Editing

If you are looking into doing a lot of editing work at home, dual monitors can make your life so much easier.

Dual monitors allow you to have more screen size to work on which will allow you to work quicker and more efficiently as you can have more windows open at once.

It also will allow you to become a more organized editor as you’ll be able to put all your tools on one monitor and your video on the other.

Finally, dual monitors make multi tasking much easier as obviously with two monitors you can focus on two things at once now.

Key Takeaways:

  • Dual monitors allows you to have more screen to work with which should allow you to be able to open more panels.
  • With dual monitors, it is much easier to improve the organization of your projects and videos.
  • Dual monitors allows you to multitask much more efficiently as you will have more than one screen to work with. You can even compare items on both screens.

“A good two-monitor setup involves placing all of your bins, audio meters, and other tools on the left monitor.

On the right monitor, put your timeline and your video viewers. You’ll always know which monitor to direct your cursor to for any given task.”
