Good Chr!$t Almighty!!! Desktop 9.5 and you STILL haven’t fixed smooth scrubbing in PPro 5.5 Mac?!?!?!?!?
Does Blackmagic just NOT CARE or do they simply NOT LISTEN?!?! A PPro 5.5 user on a Mac CANNOT and HAS NOT been able to smoothly scrub through either the source window or the timeline using J and L or any kind of jog shuttle since day one. Audio speeds up while video plays back in choppy real time. When you pause or resume playback, it goes to the point in the video, not the audio. So if you fast forward through your timeline for 15 seconds… your audio might be 50-60 ahead, but when you play- you’re still only 15 seconds ahead so you might as well just have played back in real time.
This is NOT a new problem. It’s been happening forever and Blackmagic has been made aware of the problem several times (a problem which makes editing with a Blackmagic sequence pointless and impossible). I was hoping that with 9.5 they were finally addressing the problem, but nope. Makes me wonder what kind of QC their drivers go through if something as simple and necessary as smooth, scratch that… FUNCTIONAL scrubbing is overlooked or ignored. I’m already nervous about their integration with cs6 if they still can’t get this working.

Ha! That’s an interesting bug. I was unaware of that one. CS6 completely changes the way external monitoring is done. So this will probably be fixed then, and you’ll have all new bugs to worry about.

I hope so. I have to completely edit in an adobe desktop timeline in order to get the effects of my CUDA card and then near the end copy and paste THE ENTIRE timeline into a new Blackmagic timeline so I can actually do some accurate color correction. The way that Premiere has interacted with both Blackmagic and AJA has been fairly underwhelming.
