jono grant Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 It seems that when I choose full screen in Cakewalk BL, I have no playback. The video window just sits there if I hit play. If it's not full screen, it plays normally. What is going on??? J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 What is your graphics card? Are you running the latest drivers for it? Do you dual monitors? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) I know this doesn't answer your question, but I find Cakewalk next to useless for working with video. The video feature is a poorly built afterthought and they should do everyone a favour and remove it. I bought Vegas Movie Studio Platinium 14 on sale for $34 and it's amazing. It even supports most of my Cakewalk plug ins. I can put the BT Brickwall on the audio track. I guess there's an upgrade now to Vegas 16, but 14 is half the price. https://www.amazon.ca/VEGAS-Movie-Studio-14-Platinum/dp/B01NBYOMJD/ref=asc_df_B01NBYOMJD/?tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=292962816383&hvpos=1o4&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1642523475381333915&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1001901&hvtargid=pla-448691710786&psc=1 I'm using on board graphics without too much of an issue but if you really get into video editing it's just like audio and a dedicated card is a must.

AMD radeon HD 7900... it says it has the current driver... Platinum and X1 play video in full screen no problem. It's just the Band Lab version which I'm trying to migrate to.

msmcleod Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) Full screen is working fine for me. The only thing I can suggest as a workaround is to make a separate screenset with the multidock taking up the whole of the track area, and the track inspector minimised. You want to set the video stretch options to "Stretch to Window". You can then press "C" to hide the control bar (press "C" again to show it). This will show the video on most of the screen, e.g.: The advantage of this approach is, that if for example, you set this to be screenset 2, with your normal tracking in screenset 1, you just press "2" to view it "almost full screen" and press "1" to go back to normal tracking view.

Cool idea, thanks! Still wonder why it isn't working. It does, sort of, sometimes...weird. Anyhow thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono grant Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 I think what's happening, is that when video is in full screen, Cakewalk BL can't receive key commands... play being the main one but I tested others, like trying to "undo" or "save" etc. The full screen video blocks the key commands, which is why it won't play. Frustrating stuff... No one else having this issue? Thanks Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I've not found that myself. All the key shortcuts work for me. The only thing I noticed was a fairly long delay before it played, like about 1.5 to 2 secs, but it did play and worked as expected. I actually prefer the workaround I suggested though, as it displays the time-frame at the top which I find useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
