  • Combustion Frame buffer problem

    Posted by Dean Decarlo on November 20, 2006 at 11:59 pm

    When I minimize Combustion it doesn’t seem to release the Decklink card as it should. Premiere does no problem but to see output in Premiere I have to close Combustion. Is this normal? If so, can there be a fix soon? This is a definite impediment.

    Thanks,

    Dean

    Hi,

    This is dependant on how Combustion is implemented and there’s nothing we can do about it. Please contact Autodesk about this issue so it’s something they need to change in Combustion. We merely provide the video components for them to access the video hardware.

    regards

    Switching isn’t a problem with my Video Toaster but it seems on the Decklink card with Combustion open that no other app can access it. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Hi Kristian, if this is the fact has someone from Blackmagic spoken to anyone at Autodesk about it? I think Blackmagic might have more pull in getting something done about it. It sure would smooth workflow if Combustion worked the way it should. I’ve been working without a problem for years with the Video Toaster but that has a separate manual switcher. Is there any possible workaround for manual switching in the meantime? Many thanks for anything you can do on this.
