    I’m editing a 30 minute show. All was fine until I came back from lunch. Went back to edit and now I get a frozen frame from at the cursor and no smooth video. Audio plays fine just no video. Try to use the easy set-up to re-set the settings. but still nothing. tryed to switch to DV and nothing. Any help is appreciated.

    Upgraded to the new Apple update. (I think it was a mistake.. frequent crashes) I removed the FCP preferences and still nothing.

    I deleted the Blackmagic prefs and all seems okay. Phew. Is this normal?

    When working with DV is it possible to edit in 8 bit?

    Hi Mike,

    No, that’s not normal but I’m glad you seem to have overcome your problem. Which Blackmagic Preferences did you delete? I cannot think of any that would have helped in your situation.

    My suspicion is that something has gone awry with your latest FCP update. If you continue to experience problems, reinstall FCP and update to FCP 5.0.3 and then reinstall the latest DeckLink drivers. That will ensure that all the right components are present.

    Regards,
