2015.3 ALERT: Do not upgrade if you have a Blackmagic I/O card

[Oliver Peters]

I have not had any issues with this combo. That’s with Mac Pro towers.

Well, you are a lucky fella Oliver, cuz I spent over an hour chatting with BM Tech Support, who were able to recreate the issue on their end, which they said is a bug. So, who knows???

Hi David,

The folks at Blackmagic wrote back last night and told me that the bug somehow caused all my Blackmagic Presets not to install. They sent them all to me and told me to install them here: /Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015.3/Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015.app/Contents/Settings/SequencePresets – however, that folder does not exist… I suspect the BM Tech Support guys are not yet familiar with the latest version of Premiere, which might explain a few things. 🙂

So, I cannot seem to find where the Presets are stored in Premiere CC 2015.3 – have you got any idea?

Of course Adobe and BM support are both closed for the weekend.

Yes that folder exists but it is part of the Package Contents of your app, which is hidden from the regular window.

Right click on your app (or CTRL click) Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015.app and select Show Package Contents: that will open a new finder window with access of the folder structure they are talking about.

Good luck in resolving your problem,

Thanks David! You showed me something I had long ago forgotten, but unfortunately copying the BM Presets into the folder did not make them appear inside Premiere.

What a messed-up situation… I have been working to solve this for 48-hours, including a ground-up install of El Captitan, Premiere, and all normal drivers, which really should have worked. But NOPE, it did not… So, now that I’m days behind on the project I’m working on, which must be done in Premiere 2015.3, because my client is using it, I can’t use my BM Decklink for monitoring and instead have to rely on headphones and computer displays.

At least now that I absolutely, positively know I’ve tried everything, at least I can move forward, albeit monitoring audio and video in ways I’m NOT very pleased with.

BTW, t’s also ironic that I could have switched over to an older Matrox MXO2 LE, except for the fact that they are no longer supporting Premiere. UGH!!!
