Need help using second screen for video preview


hey all,

 

new 2013 mac pro user here. old mac pro i'd been relying on kona  card simultaneous video previews out of after effects; new system figured i'd run hdmi directly mac , use broadcast display second screen previews. had recalled doing similar years ago , didn't give second thought until fired after effects first time on new system , saw no option "digital cinema desktop preview".

 

turns out feature came way of  quicktime component installed now-archaic final cut studio. able track down components older machine , off , running, until had issues...

 

seems when system rendering hard, digital cinema desktop preview crash yellow screen, , stay way until switching , after effects. , happens enough isn't acceptable workflow. what's worse, if screen goes yellow during actual render, render stop , give error being unable write file , render possibly being corrupted.

 

so, without buying additional hardware, what's way 1:1 pixel video preview on secondary display? in premiere check box in preferences , works - yet there appears no equivalent in after effects?

 

thanks in advance can offer.

 

i should add system configuration, huh? mac os x 10.9.1, after effects cs6, 2013 mac pro 8-core 3ghz, 32gb ram, dual d300s, 256gb ssd. desktop display connected via minidisplay, broadcast monitor via hdmi.

we're working on feature now. hope release in first half of year.
