  • Decklink HD Extreme with Premiere Pro 2.0

    Posted by Swanny on January 11, 2007 at 9:29 pm

    I have a Decklink HD Extreme card and am running Premiere Pro 2.0 on windows XP with dual Operton procs and 4 gigs of RAM. I can not preview more than one layer of video in real time, and no effects in real time without rendering while in a BlackMagicDesign timeline. Using the standard Premiere Pro 2.0 NTSC DV timeline i can layer over 50 layers with effects and realtime playback is achieved in low resolution.

    Has anyone else experienced this issue?

    I would sincerely appreciate your feedback.

    Blackmagic dont recomend more than 3gigs ram(for stability)What format are you editing in? Also what hard drive setup have you got. Simple effects should be realtime if your only doing dv res. Premiere chokes on any effects if your doing high def. Also you get way better performance if you disable “stop at frame drop” in premiere settings.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I am using a Medea hard drive RTX 320 SCSI, and I am working in an 8bit uncompressed timeline.

    I’ll try the disable or stop at frame drop…anyother advise is greatly appreciated.

    I tried disabling abort on dropped frame, it plays back the footage (v) in slow motion, the audio plays in real time. I guess I thought that the HD Extreme card would drop down the quality of the playback and play it in realtime (like DV) despite the number of layers. Then playback full res when rendered…my bad. Are there any ways to bump up the performace of this feature? It makes layering a real chore and of course adds three time the amount of labor.

    Thanks, Swanny
