Playing two videos on two monitors from one computer....

[hoarp001]

Not really an FCP specific question, but its a mac question, probably the best place to ask.

I have an old G5 and some monitors that I want to use on an exhibition stand to play out videos onto LCD displays. I have had the machine setup with two monitors for years, but I am unsure how to play two differnt videos at once, on separate monitors. If I play one video and set it to full screen, it only covers one monitor.

Is there a way of playing two videos out, both full screen and both on a separate monitor?


Thanks.

Open both in Quicktime, and put one on each monitor. FCP cannot play out two video sources at once.

This is the way to do it, but an old G5 will probably struggle playing two movies full screen at the same time unless the data rates are really low.
