  • AE 6.5 firewire preview problem

    Posted by Kenny Mims on August 18, 2005 at 6:17 pm

    On my Mac G5 dual 2.5 ghz, the firewire preview just dissappears.

    Once in a while it will preview a frame or two…then just dissappears!

    The firewire port seems to be working properly, as I can do the ” send image to device” from Photoshop and see it every time.

    Also… I can import DV video to Avid XpressPro with no difficulty.

    And…external hard drives will work on this buss as well (though I usually use an additional card for this)

    I have tried:

    AE prefs trash
    AE 6.5 re-install
    Using a different transcoder (always with nothing else on the firewire buss)

    (BTW – I have Blackmagic software & Decklink SP installed on this G5 – it works great)

    I have scoured the web. Perhaps someone has a suggestion.

    Weird. Have you tried the Blackmagic COW forum? I’m wondering if there’s a conflict that they know about.
