Thanks. Caught your post just in time. I only had the free Automatic Duck AAF plugin. I trashed it and now I have video output. Awesome.

We hope to get our copy of FCP 5 soon so we can see if we’re having problems.
Hopefully we can also obtain a Decklink card as well to try to reproduce the problem. Hard to say at this point if the bug is ours or BMDs.

Wes,
I have FCP5, a Decklink, and your plugins on a system that I can afford to mess with. Let me know if I can help with any testing to get this issue resolved. I have a couple of other systems that I haven’t updated yet, but really want to work right when I do!
Thanks

Chris, let us know what you experience. So far my FCP 5 system has NO problems with our plug-ins. I do not have a Decklink yet, nor any BMD software installed, just our plug-ins on a fresh FCP 5 Studio install.

Wes,
There is definitely a problem here. I upgraded to Tiger (archive and install), installed the FCP5 production suite, and then BMD v5 drivers. The Automatic Duck plug-ins remained on the system from the previous setup. There was no video to the decklink card through FCP5. There IS video out to the decklink card through Quicktime playout (a setting in the Decklink system prefs), as well as video out through the Blackmagic deck control app. Once I removed the pro-export plug in from the FCP plug ins folder, I could get video to play as it should through FCP5. I also tried removing all the automatic duck stuff and reinstalling it, but that only made the video out stop functioning in FCP again. I thought about reinstalling the previous version of the decklink drivers with FCP5 to see what that would do, but the BMD website says they are not compatible, so I can’t check that. Doesn’t look Iike I’ll be able to point the finger for you, but there is definitely an incompatibility with Decklink V5, FCP 5 and Automatic Duck.
Thanks

Right, we finally recreated it this morning. I was getting ambiguous reports of the problem so it took a while to see it in action.
Good lesson– when reporting problems to developers, be overly specific about what behavior you’re experiencing. 🙂
