Use a second display with Final Cut Pro for Mac
When you connect a second display to your Mac, controls appear that allow you to move the viewer, browser, or timeline to the second display.
To view playback on an external video monitor, see Play media on an external display and Color correct HDR video with Pro Display XDR and Final Cut Pro.
Make sure that the second display is connected to your Mac and turned on.
The Secondary Display button and pop-up menu appear in the toolbar at the top of the Final Cut Pro window.
To choose which area of the Final Cut Pro window you want to move to the second display, do one of the following:
Click the Secondary Display pop-up menu and choose Timeline, Viewer, or Browser.
Choose Window > Show in Secondary Display > [item].
The area you chose moves to the second display, and the other areas of the Final Cut Pro window are adjusted on the primary display.
To move all areas back to the primary display, click the Secondary Display button.
