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 |

Re: Very small font and display
Tough to offer advise with zero info on the setup
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)

Re: Very small font and display
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!

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%.

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) |
