I'm curious what type of layouts you all have customized for your workflows and why... I've pimped my layout to take advantage of dual monitors, to display as many plugins as possible, to have access to my scopes, histograms, etc... and because I really liked it when I saw this layout on the Vegas Pro 11 Promotional Trailer Video when it was first released lol! So pimp a layout and tell us all why its your favorite, and links to pictures would be nice. Have fun pimping a layout lol!

My main view is the right one, and I keep my preview monitor on the center, video scopes on the next of it. The FX control is also next (to the left) of center preview monitor.
My secondary monitor on the left, where all effects list, project media, Ultimate S-Pro is put here.
Third monitor on the left-most for full screen-preview, due to space limitation. (I should put it on the right side or top of both 1st and 2nd monitor, but in order to do this, I need to change all desk).

Unlike you guys, I feel that less is more. As such, I have several minimalist window layouts that I bring in as needed depending on what phase of the production I am doing (i.e., video editing, audio editing, color grading, etc.).

I usually spend the lesser part of my time editing and more time focusing on detailed work with specialized tools such as Mocha Pro for object removal and lens correction, After Effects for background/sky replacement, Colorista plugin for color grading, etc..

I do the 3 monitor thing. 4 monitors would be good too, because I think a full screen vector and Waveform scope would be nice.

Montior 1: Timeline full screen, this allows for the most visible track depth.

Monitor 2: This monitor is a TAB view which could be media view, Video Event FX, or waveform with what I call the sRGB preview and sound levels. I do not use the transitions/plug-in views at all, I just use the pop-up window for that.

Monitor 3: External Preview - set to Comp RGB levels.
