So far I’ve been using Nuendo on a single display, but now made the jump to a dual screen setup. The second screen will only be used to display the video player in full screen mode. But whenever I switch to another application, the video player on the second screen disappears. Looks like the window management is a little bit different for the video player. Unfortunately there is no “Always on top” feature like with plugin windows.
Is this supposed to be that way? I’m on a Mac by the way.
Is the video player also visible while you are using another application? Switching back to Nuendo will bring back the video player, but I want it to stay there always. Here is a short video of the problem:
I see. Then I can confirm your observation. The Video Player is not visible when the other application is in focus. What is expected, because the Video Player window is “Always on Top” enabled. As you said, unfortunately we cannot change it.
WOW !? That’s just a shame for Nuendo and Steinberg! We are talking about a top notch POST-PRODUCTION software for editing audio to PICTURE and we can’t get the video player so stay up front? Seriously? Even the old dinosaur Pro Tools can do that.
To be able to actually see the video while looking for the appropriate sound, that is money well spent.
100$? Just stay at home eating instead of going out with the family for dinner if you pay for it personally. If you are running a business it’s really not a big ticket item.
The previous intensity pro card I had ran for many years even well aft EOL. Only swapped it out because of it not working with the OS on the new Mac Pro.
Yes it would be nice to have it in Nuendo. Not sure if Steinberg alone can do that though. Maybe.
Well, considering they sell themselves as THE audio post for film software, one would expect such a basic feature. If they wanna compete with Pro tools, then they should consider these basic things… Then again, for Pro tools you pay double the price for the software
And it was never ment to be a standalone video application for running another application.
So the argument that the video player dissapears when you bring another application to front is not really a shortcoming within Nuendo.
I disagree. It is a shortcoming. If I am designing sound and I am using something like sound miner or basehead to look for my sounds, I wanna be able to see my video while looking for the appropriate sound. This is a basic feature for a software that is being used for post. If Logic Pro, Pro tools and Reaper manage to keep the video window open, why doesn’t Nuendo?
On second thought. You do have a point when it comes to Basehead/Soundminer.
On the other hand … If you are working on that level, you really should consider a Blackmagic card.
It will free up a screen and will make your life much comfortable.
I work with immersive audio (VR, 360 Video), so Nuendo was a great upgrade from Protools for that, but to be honest, Im still more of a Protools user when it comes to “regular” post and non immersive. There will never be a perfect DAW and that’s why I find myself jumping from one DAW to the other. And no, it doesn’t drive me crazy and yes, I do use all the same shortcuts to not go crazy
Would you mind elaborating on your suggestion/solution to this? Just started a trial for Nuendo, pretty disappointed I cant actually see what Im scoring unless I switch back into Nuendo from Cubase. But if you have some trick Im sure it’d be helpful!
Simply put cubase doesn’t allow two video tracks. Doing a major conform on 60+ cues and having the ability to switch from one edit to another is quite handy. In the end it’ll eventually be on my second machine. In either case however, Im curious as to what workaround people have for video to stay up as if ‘Always On Top’ was deactivated
