Vegas 23 - How do you undock the timeline. My second monitor is swiveled 90 degrees so I can place in and see a lot of timelines at once. I got to happen it 21 and 22 but I can't find how in 23. All the windows on the top move but not the most important one. I thought I was supposed to be able to rearrange the screens as i want to.
Not sure exactly what you mean. The timeline has never been able to be undocked.
Thank you for your answer. The area where you put audio and video tracks. I have it undocked in 22.
It's not possible to undock the timeline. It's possible to undock the other windows and place them where you want them to be. If you want the timeline on one monitor and the rest on another, you have to undock all the other windows that you need and move them.
Thank you for your answer. The area where you put audio and video tracks. I have it undocked in 22.
No...I don't think you have it undocked. Please post a screenshot of you VP 22 layout because I am quite curious as to what you are talking about.
Well thank you LdM_Edit for telling me that I can't do what I am doing, that was very pleasant of you.
Here are images of the Primary screen (first) and then the secondary screen (second) where the time line is moved to. I am trying to do this is 23.
@Former user Actually I think ldm described exactly what you are doing based on the screenshot. You undocked the other tabs and left the timeline. The other person commenting leads the development of this software so does understand what it can't and cannot do.
@Former user Your pictures show exactly what I described: your timeline is fixed on the main VEGAS Pro window (the one that contains the main toolbar and has the "VEGAS Pro 22" title); all the other windows are undocked and placed elsewhere.
@Former user Now we've established what exactly you are doing what happens/doesn't happen when you try the same with VP23?
Here's a video of how you get to that configuration. I'm using VEGAS Pro 23 (only showing the second screen where I have placed the main VEGAS Pro window):
Sorry for the double post, it does not allow me to edit my previous comment now.
Or just use the built-in layout:
No that isn't what happened. I slid it lose and moved it over to the other screen clicking on the bottom of it and dragging it. Well I guess no point in getting help from people trying to tell me I can't do what I did. No need to ask or respond if this is what I am going to get.
I tried dragging the timeline itself in 22 and couldn't find a way to do it.
Try to set your pride aside for a second. You're attempting to argue with people who programmed the software and others who test it.
@Former user You are very arrogant in a lot of your posts, including this one. Please be respectful and stop it, or no further assistance will be forthcoming.
It appears Douglas doesn't understand the difference between merely moving the programme window and undocking and moving parts of it.
But anyway he still hasn't explained why he cannot do what he does in VP23.

I think you had here a response by the head of development of Vegas - Derek. Also you had the response by a lot of very experienced Vegas users, telling you that the timeline cannot be undocked (but other windows can). While I think that you have done what you have done for sure, I wonder why it is necessary to show small respect to other users only, who have tried to support you free if charge. Funny enough, but be aware that nobody is here to support you. This is a user forum only.
I have two monitors like a lot of users. I can move the timeline to the other monitor in the sense all I am doing it undocking everything else and still moving the what is left (timeline) to the other monitor.
What I haven't done is saved the layout.
First screenshot is of all the tabs dragged to my primary (4K) monitor. I just dragged them there.
Here is the Timeline on my second monitor. I just dragged it to it.
I'm not sure if this is what the OP is referring to, and no, I didn't test and save this Layout.
Here you go.
@Reyfox, so - basically - you undocked ALL of the other windows (or closed them) from the main window and dragged the main window over to the second screen. Then you docked everything you wanted together back on the first screen. Notice the File - Edit - etc... menus are on the "Timeline" because the timeline *is* the main window.

@Former user The attitude is not necessary. Everyone here, including me is trying help you and understand what you are trying to do. Changes were made in Vegas Pro 23 to make the user interface significantly more customizable, so we would very much like to understand what you are doing and help you out. As everyone here has said, the timeline is not dockable (or in this case, undockable) but just about every other window pane is dockable. In fact, the only way to undock a window is to pull it free from the dock via the tab control. However, the timeline does not have a tab, so it cannot be undocked.
@jetdv yep! You nailed it. I just moved all the dockable tabs to one monitor and the timeline to another monitor.
It's a hack, but if someone wanted the timeline on a separate monitor, they can do it. Now, whether that layout can be saved is another matter. I didn't try.
Thank you for talking down to me about this and ignoring what I said.
Oh dear! Unfortunately Douglas (Former User) never got around to explaining how with VP23 he couldn't achieve what he did with VP22 in order to obtain his desired layout. From others comments it clearly could be done.
