  • Does Black Magic Intensity Pro Card allow Premier Pro CC to output to HDMI monitor?

    Posted by Gerry Cast on October 15, 2013 at 10:08 pm

    Some people have said that it does work and some have said that it doesn’t work.
    I really don’t need to capture video as I’m using compressed anyway, but I do want to use an external monitor to edit.
    B and H Photo said that I can’t return this product, so I want to make sure.
    Thanks.

    That’s the card I use and I don’t have any issues. I’ve never captured anything in premiere, but playback is fine. I have abobe CC and FCP 7 on my machine and the card works with both.

    Hi Jeremy!

    Thanks. Hey, I just watched your demo reel. Excellent. As a musician, I can really appreciate your cutting on the beats so well. Nice work!

    I tried the BM Intensity Pro card with Premier 5.5 about two years ago and it would never show up in the Premier Playback Settings so that I could choose it. Of course, maybe I did something wrong. I got rid of it at that time after many futile hours.

    Now, I’ve built a new Win 7 machine with Premier/AE CC and was going to give it another shot, although I’m nervous because B and H won’t take a return.

    Here’s where I’m confused though.

    I’m using a Canon G10 Prosumer camera, so as we know, it’s highly compressed video and therefore I don’t need to capture footage with the Black Magic because it won’t improve the quality.

    But to use the BM card to see playback on an external monitor, I understand that I have to find the Black Magic option in the Premier Sequence Settings for it to work (this is maybe where I messed up last time?).

    My question is, by choosing the BM Sequence Settings in Premier, do I now lose (or gain) any functionality in Premier Pro CC? Slower/faster performance, more/less options, or does it not matter at all and will just give me external monitor playback, which again, is all I really want.

    I remember that I had to fiddle with many different sequence settings to get the Canon G10 footage to behave properly in the timeline and I’m afraid that if I do choose one of the BM Sequence Settings, that I may have a problem.

    Thanks.

    You don’t need to do a Blackmagic Sequence on CC. Just update your drivers, set up the playback to output to your I/O and it will show any sequence that is supported by the I/O and the monitor.

    Tero is correct.

    Premiere will output any signal that the I/O card and the monitor support. Using a Blackmagic sequence is no longer necessary since CS6.

    Best,

    Hey Jeremy, that’s exactly the setup I want to run on my system, FCP 7 and Premiere Pro CC outputting thru HDMI to an external monitor. And I was hoping the Intensity Pro would do that. What version OS are you running?

    Happy to report that the external, USB Intensity Pro box works with Win 7 64 bit, Premier/AE CC to an external HDMI monitor. But, the internal card wouldn’t work.
    Thanks all.

    I’m running OS X 10.8.3 and have no troubles playing back via HDMI in either FCP 7 or Premiere CC. In Premiere I just check the Blackmagic box in the playback preference and in FCP I use the blackmagic setting for playback.

    I can have both apps open at the same time, but FCP usually says the card is in use by another program if I switch directly between the programs. Same is true if I’m using the intensity card to preview after effects work. A click on the finder than over to the other program fixes that issue.

    I recently install Blackmagic Intensity pro 4K on my operating system win10 64 bit pc, and I install software which is download from https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/family/capture-and-playback Desktop Video 10.11.4 for windows version. I don’t need to capture so it is good for resolve. It saws playback in external monitor on Davinci Resolve but not in adobe premiere and after effects. I checked directory there are every thing installed in adobe common file. And this is active on adobe premiere’s preferences-Playback and I select blackmagic playback . But this is not working only this work in Resolve . I am confuse why does this not work?
    Please give me trick .
