Combustion / Decklink workaround
Is there an easy way in Premiere to disable output to the Decklink card when editing? Combustion not releasing the Decklink is killing me as I really like to go back and forth between apps. To disable in Combustion I have to go in prefs and disable. Was wondering if Premiere had a quicker option.
Thanks.

Can’t you just alt/tab between the apps to release the decklink? Or try minimising using the minimise button top right of the app, instead of minimising from the quick start bar along the bottom – I find that helps with AE and Photoshop. Should work with Prem/Combustion too..not at a machine to try though.

Yeah, that’s what it’s supposed to do!! On my machine (and apparently others) when you alt-tab, switch apps etc. Combustion does not release the Decklink. Even when Combustion is minimized the Decklink will still have whatever current image displayed from Combustion. This is a drag. It’s a further drag that if I go in to Premiere I can’t play anything at speed since it can’t use the Decklink. I can scrub but not play. I’m very disappointed as I went over this stuff with Blackmagic before purchasing and am now told it’s Autodesk fault that Combustion doesn’t behave properly. With my video toaster I had no problem switching between apps but VT uses a manual switcher to change inputs.
Thanks for the reply.
