I don't have the option to use a Mac for this project, but I will be trying all the options to see what works best on whatever final platform is chosen.
Thanks for the offer of help!

Hi Cath Nice to see another Kiwi "Director" ;-)
I am about to start a project which will use two monitors - one will run video and the other the interface. Has anyone done this? Is the best way to treat the stage as one large stage covering both monitors? Any pitfalls? Advice?
I have done this with two monitors.
My main experience has been using a laptop, as one screen, and digital projector as the other screen. I use the laptop for the "controlling interface" and the projector to display the video ( and the graphic display of the Director movie) to my audience.
I create two Director movies: One is the projector and contains the interface controls, This movie opens a MIAW which is used for the "display". You can then define exactly where the MIAW will be located in releation to the controlling movie.
The controlling movie then "talks" to the MIAW.
I have found that using a large stage causes all sorts of problems with getting the "split" correctly.
My experience has been with using Macintosh computers ( the Mac has very good control and many options for dual monitor display).
If you need any further help or info please contact me.
Regards
Tony
