Will the October update to Speedgrade bring support for Blackmagic Playback

I was wandering if the October update to Speedgrade would bring support for Blackmagic or AJA playback cards. Since it will use the Mercury playback engine it should support these cards right?

At the moment Mercury Transmit supports cards for Aja, Matrox and Bluefish.

Playback with Blackmagic Ultrastudio Express Thunderbolt

Hello,
I'm using a MacBook Pro, a Blackmagic Ultrastudio Express Thunderbolt, and Premiere Pro CC 2014. Under preferences I've set playback to BlackMagic playback. When I connect a monitor to the ultra studio express I can get playback from the sources but not from the program. I'm trying to output a green screen composite. I've got the composite completed in the program viewer within Premiere, I've rendered the effect, but it won't play out to the external monitor. But if I double click on either tracks on the timeline, they will play out to the external monitor.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Herb Forsberg

To my knowledge, if CC is up to date, it's up to date. I checked and there are no updates. Thanks.

No playback on external monitor with PPr CC

Mac OSX 10.8.4
Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Blackmagic Design DeckLink Mini Monitor (brand new) w/ Design Desktop Video 9.7.5 driver
LG 52" LCD connect to my DeckLink via HDMI
In PPr CC, when I go to Preferences>Playback I check Blackmagic Playback box but nothing comes through on the monitor. There isn't a "setup..." sub-menu next to Blackmagic Playback, and in the sequence settings there is no "playback options" tab (though that may be a new feature of CC). I have tried the default editing mode AVC-Intra 100 720p 60Hz with the preview format set to I-Frame Only MPEG, and created a custom ProRes 422 (HQ) Quicktime sequence, but neither have shown any results. My source clips are primarily ProRes 422 (HQ), but I have also made a title in PPr CC that does not show on the monitor either.
I have used the same exact ProRes source in FCP 7 + AE CC and have gotten perfect playback on my TV, so I know my cables are good and my output from DeckLink and input on the TV are correct.
I have also tried this in PPr CS6 and gotten nothing. My "playback settings" tab in CS6 is always greyed out, no matter what kind of sequence I create...that could have something to do with it. I am a little new to Premiere, so I'm hoping there is a solution.
Please help! Thanks!

"The Desktop Video 9.7.5 software update allows users to take advantage of many new features in the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop applications such as powerful new editing timelines and shortcuts and audio mixing with Adobe Premiere Pro® CC and new creative and visual effects tools with Adobe After Effects® CC."
So everything should be covered on that front. And as I listed, I was getting playback out of AE CC, so I feel it is solely an issue in Premiere. That was worth checking out though since CC is so new. Thanks for replying.

Playback Video Device?

Dear PrP CC Users,
I wanted to ask a few questions regarding setting up playback for best accuracy performace when dealing with video and sound.
In Preferences > Playback. I have 4 Dell monitors (connected to GPU via HDMI, DVI-D x2 and a DisplayPort) and a Samsung TV (connected to a DeckLink Blackmagic Mini Monitor Video I/O). The 4 monitors for me to work off from and the TV for the Director/Client.
My query is regarding the Audio Device selection. I have it selected as Adobe Desktop Audio, there is the option of Blackmagic playback (my amplifier is also connected to the TV).
My regular desktop audio is connected to my Mac Pro output jack at the rear to my amplifier.
When dealing with editing projects such as music videos, syncing is an important factor and I want to make sure where I'm getting the most accurate synced representation. What is the best Audio Device to use and should I Offset my Video Blackmagic Playback, is there some way to properly calibrate for this? Also, depending on that, where should I focus my attention when making sure audio is synced to video. - I'm not talking about how to merge audio with video clips and syncing using the clapper-board. I'm talking about playback accuracy once sound is synced. As often the client/director will say its out of sync on the TV when its not out of sync with me on my monitors.
Perhaps if someone can explain on here or recommend me a link to how best set up and calibrate for video/audio sync whilst editing, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I have a similar setup as the OP, 4 computer screens for the work space and a Plasma connected via a Blackmagic HDMI output for the program monitoring. I use the BM card AES outputs for the audio monitoring going via a Dolby decoder. I measured the video delay to the Plasma and it was 38ms compared to the audio. I have set a delay in the Dolby box to 32ms, this plus the acoustic delay form my speakers gives me good lipsync. (There is a delay of aprox 1ms for each foot you are from the speakers). I used to have a crt as my grading monitor fed from the SD SDI op of the BM card, this had a delay of 50ms, caused by the hardware convertor in the BM card.
As the brain expects to see something before it hears it, if something looks slightly out of sync it is likely that the audio is early.

CC and Blackmagic 5.1 Audio

i7
Win 7 64
24 GB ram
Premiere CC
BM driver 9.7.5 (17th June)
I am trying to get 5.1 op via my BM decklink card.
In audio Hardware setup the Adobe Desktop Audio box only gives me the option of Premiere Pro WDM Sound but in CS6 also installed on this machine I get the aditional option of Blackmagic Audio, this is the one I need for 5.1 and the one I have been using for 3 years with CS6.
The BM driver is the one released on 17th June for Premiere CC. I have reinstalled it twice, it works ok in CS6.
The output mapping box lets me select the track order for the BM card but I can't select the card for op.

Do you mean the playback settings option? I get options of Blackmagic Playback, Adobe DV and Adobe Desktop audio under the Audio Device options (along with Blackmagic Playback for the Video)

No audio heard from sequence during timeline playback

I am a new user to PPro CS 5.5, just opening my first project.
I have captured a few clips and brought them into the project. Previewing them in the source window, I see the video track play and hear the audio track.
I moved one of the clips onto the timeline and attempted to view it. I see the video playing but no audio is heard.
I opened the clip in Audition. the audio played there, no problem
I am sure there must be a configuration parameter to set but I cannot find it.
Can someone suggest where I can look?
Thank you

Examining the source window playback settings, I see that realtime Playback has no external device selected in the drop down and Desktop audio is selected with the button. External Device is grayed out.
With these settings, I hear the audio track.
Examining the editing window playback settings, I see something very different.
The menu box is titled Blackmagic playback settings.
The only option entry in the menu box is: a choiceto "Turn off Dropped frame Warning"
I have a Blackmagic Intensity Pro card installed on my PC and used it to capture my video clip on mini-DV tape played from my Sony GV-HD700 videocasette.
Why am I seeing this BM menu reference only on the editing window? Is this the indication of my problem?
I went back to defining another sequence and the menu choice opened with the same path, as my previous first time at this, to a Blackmagic selection. I changed to a HDV 1080i selection for this 2nd sequence. When I dropped the clip into the 2nd sequence, presto, the sound was there.
Now I am wondering what is the blackmagic option for?
What is the difference between the source and editing window parameters?
That is left to when I have more time to dig into it.
Thanks again

Premiere CC will only output 60fps over BM Intensity

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get the video preview to behave correctly out of Premiere CC (v7.0.0)
- I am on the latest BM driver (9.7.5) with an Intensity Pro
- Under preferences/playback, I have "Blackmagic Playback" checked
- I create a new sequence and use Blackmagic's preset: HD1080/8 bit YUV/Progressive/23.976p
I get nothing. My monitor (Dell U2410 via HDMI) says "there is no signal from your computer"
However, if I make a sequence that's 60fps (regardless if it's a BM preset or not), I get picture. Audio comes through regardless.
This is weird because this exact setup was working fine in CS5 and I could output any framerate I wanted (provided I started with a BM preset).
Any ideas?
Mac Pro 5,1
OS 10.8.4

Ok, this is getting ridiculous. The behavior is completely inconsistent. Once I get it to recognize a 23.98 sequence, no other sequence works. Sometimes the monitor goes to sleep and wakes up repeatedly, as if it's getting an intermittent signal.
Now when it is displaying something, Premiere won't give up control. I can switch to finder and the last frame stays up on the monitor (even though "Disable video output when in the background" is checked. It won't even let AE have control, so now AE playback doesn't work either.
I have tried a different HDMI monitor - same behavior
I have tried a different HDMI cable - same behavior
I have tried the Intensity Pro in a different PCI slot - no change
ECBowen, turning the monitor off/minimizing Premiere doesn't do anything on this end. Thanks for the response, though.
Whose issue is this - Adobe or Blackmagic? Creative Cloud is not usable for me and I'm nervous because we're about to roll it out on 6 machines.
Any other ideas??

Can't playback on Blackmagic Decklink HD extreme 2

Hi all,
I am looking to crossgrade from FCP7 to Premiere CS6 so I have the Master Collection Demo installed on my work station along with FCP. It's on a 2008 Mac Pro with 2 Quad core 3.2G Intel Xeons, 16GB ram, ATi 2600 HD 250mb graphics and a Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme 2. In the FCP set up this card fed a full HD JVC broadcast monitor via HD-SDI and I had no trouble with it at all and it played any type of sequence. My problem is that I can't for the life of me get a picture on the screen in Premiere. No combination of BM sequence settings or codecs, either BM or otherwise, seem to get it going. Output options seem extremely limited in the application set up with only one box to tick under the playback menu. This seems to have no effect whatsoever. The aplication can obviously see the card because the option to check it as a playback is there and the audio routes through without error. I have installed the latest Premiere updates and am running Desktop video 9.6. AE plays on the monitor fine but nothing in Premiere unless I switch the BM card to extended desktop and use the broadcast monitor as a second LCD and tick that option under the playback menu but then my GFX card seems to struggle and drops frames all over the place. I admit the ATI card is a bit of a slouch but options were limited for Mac unless you want the high end cards, which I am considering, could the fact the card is under powered have anything to do with video not getting to the BM card. I don't know much about the MPBE apart from the fact my card doesn't qualify.
Any ideas on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
Apart from no client monitor I'm loving Premiere, I'm finding th realtime stuff quite refreshing after FCP, which was a bit of a joke really in that area...but if I can't monitor, I can't make the switch.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You don't need to use the blackmagic presets to play back through your card. What are your settings under preferences>general?playback? You might want to try uninstallig the blackmagic presets and installing the latest Deskstop from BM. The uninstall option will be available when you download BM Desktop from their support site. Having the latest version isn't what is important but uninstalling is.
Cheers,
Gerry

Playback Issues with multiple framerates and Blackmagic Decklink 4K Extreme

I recently swapped by AJA Kona Card for a Blackmagic Decklink 4K Extreme in order to get external monitoring in DaVinci Resolve.
I'm working in a 1080p 23.976 project that includes some 29.97 SD and HD footage. When loading this 29.97fps footage into my source footage, I periodically encounter frozen playback (The play triangle in my toolbar becomes a square symbol and remains that way). From there I am unable to playback any footage in any timeline, and requires a full system shutdown to return to normal! The problem is seemingly intermitent, with successful playback happening sometimes.
The 29.97 footage was DVCPRO, I attempted to transcode to Prores to troubleshoot. No dice. I believe it to be an issue related to the Decklink's inability to handle multiple framerates on-the-fly but wanted to submit here, too. I've also experienced intermittent sync delays on my broadcast monitor.
Decklink Driver 10.0
Premiere CC 7.2.1
Mac OSX 10.9.2 (same problem pre-mavericks)

Hi Andy,
You should not have any issues with Blackmagic handling multiple formats on the fly. However, I believe the frozen playback issues your describing is related to the Desktop Video 10 driver. I suggest rolling back to 9.3.3 for the time being. Blackmagic is looking into this issue now.
Best,

Blackmagic Decklink card not showing up in Playback settings

Just upgraded to Premiere Pro CC - my Blackmagic Decklink card is not showing up in the Playback settings box.

Hi Peter - thanks for responding - yes I did install the latest drivers - but finally found a thread that solved the issue. Turns out Blackmagic installs the drivers in its own Adobe folder - but Adobe only wants to see them in its own special folder (Application Support>Common>Adobe). Once I moved everything from the one folder to the other, then Premiere could see the card just fine. They should be definitely look at a better way of dealing with this - so it doesn't become an emergency science project for people like me.
Anyway, case closed - for now. Thanks.

Blackmagic Intensity Pro - Video playback doesnt work

Hi there, I am experiencing some weird issues with Premiere CC and the Blackmagic Intensity Pro card.
I mainly use the card to playback my edit to an HD monitor. This has worked quite well, but as of today it stopped working.
Last time it stopped working I opened a different project (one I knew the card have worked before) to check and it was working. I did nothing and opened the project the card wasnt working and to my surprise it just worked.
Today I am having a problem as I cant make any of the projects work w the card.
It feels it works at random. I would appreciate any help on this.
Working on a Mac Pro Quad Core INtel 3.2GHz
Sequence is Blackmagic Uncompressed 23.97fps
Preferences>Playback - set to Blackmagic
Problem started when I was flipping between headphones and external speaker (to cut my audio). I do not however send audio through the BM card. Always Line out or Headphones.
Thanks in advance for any info.
Pedro

hi,
ihave bought it and am using it with my quadcore g5 2.5 ..
for now i switched back to canopus because its much more stable and not
"touchy" when i jump around in the timeline...
but this may have a lot of other reasons ..
with finalcut its very nice ans stable, i think the drivers have been written
to be compatible with fcp rather than logic.
I wantd to have the picture for an HD Movie in Llogic but now i prfe to have
stability,
bets regards,
andy

Disabling Blackmagic Card Playback in PPro CS4

I am trying to work in Premiere Pro CS4 using footage that I captured from the Blackmagic Intensity Pro card. The timeline is playing on my external device and no matter how times I change the Player and Audio settings, it continues to play audio through the device. It will not play in Premiere at all. Not through speakers nor headphones. Even if I unplug the external monitor from the Intensity Card, it still will not play audio in Premiere.
It plays the source monitor audio through the computer but any playback done in the Timeline doesn't. Please help me, I am so confused.

I created a new sequence using the standard Premiere Pro NTSC settings and copy everything over. It works. I didn't realize that I was creating Blackmagic sequences. I'm going to test it out with some other projects I was having problems with.
Thanks a bunch. This was driving me nuts.

Choppy Playback of Blackmagic ProRes in Premiere CC

Hi there,
I'm editing a friend's short film, shot on the Blackmagic Cinema to ProRes files. In standalone Quicktime, outside of Premiere, the files play seamlessly, but in the Premiere CC project, Source and Program Monitors, the clips are choppy/frame-dropping, even at 1/4 resolution.
I've edited countless shorts and features on this system - Canon 5D, 7D, Scarlet, C300 - and I've never experienced choppy playback. Any advice on how to nix this? Quicktime is fully updated, and, like I said, the files play perfectly in actual Quicktime.
Thanks!
Stephen

Hi SDCone,

Me, too. But as soon as I re-synched the project and moved back, the
choppiness stopped. Like clockwork. I have found that, since updating to
CC, I am using PP 6 more often.
As tough as that is to take, I appreciate your feedback.
Have an awesome weekend,

Audio will not playback when using the blackmagic card

Hey
I have a Premiere Pro CS.5.5 running on MacPro running lion and with a black magic extreme 3d card.
Audio wont playback in source window, i hit play and nothing happens the time and cursor just stand still, no audio playing no errors no nothing.
However if i put that wav file in my timeline everything works fine.
Video plays fine in the source monitor and outputs to my SDI monitor with the black magic card.
If i go to preferences and player settings and select adobe player as the default instead of blackmagic then the audio (and still video) works fine.
in the source viewer but i am not getting anny image on my SDI monitor.
The timeline and record window everything still works fine.
Have annyboddy had this problem

Everything is set up right.
And when i put stuff in the timeline all is outputting fine on the monitor and with the audio
So if i am trying to play a wav file in the source window, the cursor is not moving and the timecode is not counting it just dosent move.
But as soon as i drag the wav file to the timeline there is no problem, the audio file is playing just perfect.
So it is the source window that is the problem.
Thank you for all you help
