  6.6 Decklink / PPro2 / XP32 – now renders with torn lines at bottom?

  Posted by Jimmy Brunger on October 31, 2007 at 12:16 pm

  I installed Decklink 6.6 driver the other day and I’ve just noticed that since then whenever I try to render anything out of PPro2 it renders the bottom few lines with a mixture of green bands and torn versions of the clip. It is fine for capturing, but presumably PPro uses BMD to help render files and this is where the problem lies?

  I’ve tried rendering with /without BMD codec and problem is everywhere.

  Can someone please help?

  Hi,

  You mentioned that this happens even if you don’t render to any BMD codecs. What happens if you uninstall our drivers and render, does that make a difference?

  Hi Kristian,

  I uninstalled Decklink drivers from control panel and then rendered same clip from premiere and it worked fine…now reinstalled DL 6.6 and the problem is back.

  Interestingly it only does this on captured footage. When I did some premiere test renders on some motion gfx clips originated from AE the problem wasn’t there…if that helps?!?

  The other thing is – since I originally install 6.6 my output to b/cast monitor has not been showing up in AE prefs and so not working. After re-installing it now appears twice as “Blackmagic Video Output 2”. Is that normal? I’m just using the original one for now, but both work…is that a new feature or have I got some remnants that didn’t uninstall properly?

  Thanks..this render problem is fairly urgent though I have a client in tomorrow and this could be a big problem.

  Hi,

  We’ve tried replicating this with no success so it’s very puzzling.

  Can you let us know in detail:

  1) Capturing format in PP2

  2) Exporting format?

  Thanks

  This is very weird…

  OK – I capture via Decklink Capture
  file format: Uncompressed 8-Bit (4:2:2 YUV)

  I export movie as follows…
  File Type: Uncompressed Microsoft AVI
  Compressor: 8-bit YUV (4:2:2 YUV)
  25fps PAL 720×576 UFF with Optimise Stills checked.
  ——————-

  These are the same capture and render settings I’ve always used.

  Since 6.6 driver I now get this mess at the bottom of screen either when rendering out a movie and then playing it back in Premiere, or when sending the original captured file to Media Encoder OR (strangle one this…) when I select motion for a clip in the effect controls. I don’t even have to scale it, but just highlighting ‘motion’ adds this mess at the bottom.

  I’m going to have to go back to my previous driver (6.0) until this is fixed.

  Please let me know what you find.
