Gang Monitors in Adobe Premiere Pro

Posted on by Larry

One of the newer features added to Premiere Pro is the ability to gang, or connect, the Program Monitor to one of two different monitor panels. For example, gang the Program Monitor to the Source Monitor or ganging it to the Reference Monitor.

The big advantage to ganging is comparing two images in sync as you skim a clip in the timeline. Here’s how this works, plus three examples.

GANG TO THE SOURCE MONITOR

Now, as you drag the playhead across the clip in the timeline, the clip in the Source Monitor – which is not the same clip – changes in sync with it as well.

To un-gang a monitor, click the Wrench and deselect the Gang option.

GANG TO THE REFERENCE MONITOR

You can also gang the Program Monitor to the Reference Monitor using a similar procedure.

THINGS YOU CAN’T DO

But, aside from those limitations, ganging monitors is a great way to see two different things – in sync – at the same time.
