I agree. I prefer a full-sized preview window and a timeline with enough

space to hold many video and audio tracks without having to scroll them.

For a couple of dual-screen layouts of Premiere, see:

www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/premiere.htm. Around here, good used 17"

(and even 19") CRT monitors go for $25-45 and good older dual-head

video cards (or one AGP, one PCI single-head) are cheap, so it is easy

and cheap to set up dual monitors - and for video, this is almost essential

for efficient working...
