Very small font and display
 

Hey everybody, I am just getting started with PT. I just installed PT first to try it out before buying.

First thing out of the gate I have an issue: everything on the protools screen is seriously tiny, like it's been zoomed out to 25% or something. When it first opens it looks normal, then it switches to being miniscule.

Is there hopefully a quick and easy fix for this? thank you

Tough to offer advise with zero info on the setup:o
What size is the screen?
What resolution is it set to?
Give at least the basic details on the computer.
If its Windows 10, check Scaling and try different settings(100% would be my starting point):o

Hello Dave,

I just installed PTF and have the exact same issue.

My setup is:
Windows 10 Pro, 64-bits
RAM: 8.00 GB
Processor: Intel i5-10500 @ 3.10GHz
Monitor: 27 inch
Display resolution is 3840 x 2160

Note: All other software and apps look great.

I did upped the scaling to 200% an it still looks like this...


All your guidance and suggestions are welcome!

Are you not able to maximize the window, or drag the edges to fill the main window? 4K on a 27" screen is likely to make everything tiny. Can you reset the screen to 1920x1080?(probably with scaling reset to 100%)

Re: Very small font and display
 

Instead of scaling the 4K display to a percentage (i.e. 200%), set the Display Resolution to HD 1920x 1080 and the scaling back to 100%.

That approach makes no difference. It is not the size of the window that's a problem. It is the illegible details in the edit window. Been fighting this for hours today. Found a bit of help from a colleague on YT:
Right click the PT icon on your desktop and select properties. Changing a few of the settings under compatibility got me to where everything is sized normally, but there is a serious offset between the edit window, and where the transport thinks the beginning is located, like 2 inches. Totally unworkable. I only got this far after uninstalling PT and doing a fresh download and reinstall. Still screwed presently. using WIN10/64, i7 6500U, 2.5 Ghz, Asus laptop, 12 gig of ram, NVIDIA GeForce 940M, 200%, 3200x1800 (recommended)
