    Until this morning Everything on my system worked fine, video played back through my external monitor via blackmagic card, capturing video was flawless. Now, I cannot capture any video using the prores codec, and video does not play through my external monitor. I believe it is a setting in the video playback but I cannot find the correct one. Here are my settings for FCP

    SEQUENCE – Apple ProRes (HQ) 1920X1080 60i 48kHz
    CAPTURE – Blackmagic HDTV 1080i 59.54 – Apple ProRES (HQ)
    DEVICE CONTROL – Blackmagic HDTV 1080i 59.94
    VIDEO PLAYBACK – Blackmagic HDTV 1080i 29.97HZ -10 BIT (1920X1080)
    AUDIO – Built in Line Output

    The problem I believe is the video playback, where there is no setting for 1080i 59.94, nor any ProRes settings, Which i thought I had it on when everything was working, but it does not display any. Any suggestions? My sony M35u deck is connected via hd-sdi direct tot he blackmagic card, hdmi cable from the card to TV, everything worked this morning.

    Hrm…well it looks like your sequence setting got messed up. The Audio selection is definitely not right.

    Easiest way to get back to right is to start a new project, and open a new sequence. Then make sure you select the Blackmagic HDTV 1080i59.94 ProRes setup. That should default everything back to what it should be.

    If you continue to have issues, give us a call and we can walk through a few more things.

    Yup, 408.954.0500 option 2.

    Talked to Albert, he said he had spoken to you? Is that right?
