  • Blackmagic Intensity Pro audio issue Media Composer 6

    Posted by Jason Carey on May 3, 2012 at 6:14 pm

    I am just starting to use Media Composer 6 on my Mac Pro with a Blackmagic Intensity PCI card. Now the audio won’t feed through the Mac, only the Blackmagic card. Is there any way to bypass the Blackmagic., because I hate to keep having to switch the audio from the Blackmagic to the Mac audio out when I want to use any other application than Media composer.

    I have the same issues with my PC version of Media Composer 6 and the Intensity Pro card. After the clip is captured it will not play audio on the timeline as it is trying to use the Black Majic card for audio playback. This seems to be counter intuitive and not a very efficient workflow.

    If I’m capturing to the local drive and want to edit and playback, I would expect it to use the sound system native to the computer setup or applications settins for this and not try and use the capture card outputs. once capture is complete, the intensity Pro card should relinquish control back to the system.

    This does not occur when using the 1394 Firewire interface.

    I’m going to bump this thread. I too would like I know if there is a way to by pass the BM card. Even if I have to edit a file or anything I don’t want MC using my BM card.
