Issue with going "On Air" and keeping the computer monitor in preview and edit mode
When I click "On Air" to start my presentation it automatically makes my laptop screen match the exact display of the projector screen instead of keeping the preview and edit mode up and accessible while slides project on the screen. My laptop is setup for projecting meaning the laptop is set to the 1 monitor and the projector is set to the 2 monitor but this still seems to be an issue. I need to be able to go "On Air" to project the slides while at the same time be able to see/edit all slides and announcements and to move where I need to go seamlessly. Any help with this is appreciated.

Hi, John-Mark. Going on air creates a fullscreen window, which is the projection your audience sees. You can multitask using Alt + Tab or Command + Tab to get back to the edit/preview mode and make on air edits. This article may help as well.
Check the Settings menu item. Sounds like you have both displays configured for the "Slides" output.
I have the same problem. Only my monitors are set up in Proclaim correctly, but the laptop is the Slides and the Projector has a blank screen. I can't get to my edit/preview monitor. Attached are some screenshots. I'm using a Mac and it's fully upgraded to version 1.30.
This is very interesting. Could you take a screenshot of your Mac's display settings on the arrangement tab? It appears Proclaim thinks that your laptop monitor is two outputs at the same time (hence the overlapping numbers). Your display settings may give us more info. Are you running El Capitan by the way?

Jordan,
I am running El Capitan. Here are my display settings.
I have no problem running Keynote through a projector.
Thank-you for the screenshots. I haven't tracked the issue down yet, but it is clear that Proclaim is incorrectly getting the screen coordinates. You may be able to remedy this issue by changing the arrangement of your displays in Apple's display settings. This may cause Proclaim to have to re-retrieve the screen coordinates and may resolve your issue.
We will continue to try and figure this out on our end. Let me know if you get anywhere.

p.s. Do you happen to have this setting checked? Although not the cause, it may help me narrow it down.

When the comp. is connecte to the projector it still only has 1 option for a monitor display under settings.

I'm on my laptop (single screen) so cannot take a good screen shot to show you, but I suspect you have mirroring turned on in your system display settings.
Open System Preferences to the Displays settings and turn mirroring off. You then should be able to see both in Proclaim Settings for Displays and set one to show 'Slides' and one to show the app which you can put into edit mode while onAir

pushing Alt + t allows me to see the edit screen while on air but also makes the projector move to the edit screen as well... Is there another way to have the projector full screen but the laptop in edit mode?
