  Intensity Pro & Premiere workflow suggestions

  Posted by Matt Short on June 20, 2008 at 9:36 pm

  I’m using CS3 & Intensity Pro. Can I only monitor out HDMI in a BM project? I have a JVC HD project I’m working on and can’t get the BM card to monitor out in that program. I opened a new program using the BM 8bit HD preset and imported my JVC HD footage and got playback on the external monitor but it won’t work in the JVC project. Any suggestions? I don’t want to have to render everything out as 8bit HD. Kind of defeats the purpose of shooting HDV.

  I figured out (with the help of the fine folks at BMD) a good solution to my workflow dilemma. In case anyone runs into the same scenario here it is…

  I’m shooting tapeless with a JVC GY-HD110 camera & a DR-HD100 DTE recorder. Premiere CS3 (WindowsXP) & Intensity Pro card. I downloaded & installed Decklink drivers. This gave me all the codecs. I copied the codecs to another folder then uninstalled the Decklink drivers. Then I installed the Intensity drivers and copied the codecs (from the Decklink install) to my presets folder in Premiere. The Varicam motion JPEG HD720p 23.976fps setting works great with the JVC files (shot with the same parameters). No rendering required and I get playback through the HDMI to my HD monitor. All is well.
