[Q] Making programs full-screen

[gammarik]

Hi all!

 

I do a lot of video editing, and I've begun to feel that 1080p isn't enough screen space to do my work. However i, at the moment, don't have the budget for a new 1440p monitor, and i'm not even sure my PC could handle it, in the gaming i do. 

 

Anyway, my question is: Does a program that allows other programs to go full-screen, like browers' F11 feature, or the full-screen button on Mac, exist? As in the top bar on the windows disappear, and the taskbar stops popping up every time i move my mouse down there (which happens a lot in AE). It would really make my work a lot easier.

 

Thank you in advance!

If you're doing video editing, the probability is your gpu could handle 1440p. Other than that I don't know of a program for your needs. That said, I think most video editing (or even image editing like Photoshop) have a fullscreen mode anyway, if that's what you're looking for.

It probably could, but i'm not ready to take the chance yet. I'll look into getting one some time down the line ^^

 

I've not been able to find any full screen features in neither Premere or After Effects. I may just be missing it, but google doesn't return any results either.

I've on accident managed to fullscreen Photoshop and since that's also an Adobe product, I'd think it should also be possible on those programs.. Don't have a clue what hotkey it was though I'm afraid since I've never done it deliberately.

 

As for the gpu, try the manufacturer's website. If it isn't too old (or an onboard one) it could probably handle a 1440p display along with a 1080p side display. Could just ask in this forum too, I'm sure someone will know.

I just googled it, and the Photoshop hotkey is Tab, but it doesn't seem to work in After Effects. 

 

Okay, I'll make a thread in the GPU forum later, and ask about the display, then. Thank you ^^ I'd still like to know if there is a program for this though, so if anyone knows something, please let me know!
