A lot of people have difficulty finding a layout that works for them. So here I am compiling a list of the most widely used programs.

I think the most effective way to edit with Avid is to have the timeline fullscreen on the right hand monitor, I started out having my timeline on the left underneath the composer monitor but I quickly became tired of this when I started editing more complex videos that required lots of video tracks.

This layout mirrors my Avid workspace, it is a layout that I have grown used to and try to mirror in all the programs I use.

I like having as much room as possible for the image that I am editing. This is a pretty simple layout that I haven't changed much from the original. The history and the layers tabs are actually on the second monitor.
