FCP 6.0 hates my decklink card and maybe me.
I’ve just replaced our old edit system and I’ve not been having a good time with it. I have a brand new decklink SP card installed in the system (slot 3 if that helps) and FCP 6.0 on my system. All of the decklink capture presets are all set to a “missing decklink” digitizer. So if I want to use that preset, I have to first change the digitizer, compressor, frame rate, audio input and all of that then hope to god that FCP will capture. If FCP crashes, which usually happens, all of the changes I’ve made to the presets are gone. I’ve upgraded the drivers of the Decklink card. I’m currently upgrading to 10.5.6 from 10.5.4. FCP is 6.0. There aren’t any updates in the software update for fcp when I check.
Does anyone know why this is happening. I’m hoping that this is the main reason why I can’t capture anything right now. Even when I change all the info, the capture stops saying there is no video input. I’ve moved the decklink card to slot 3 from 4. I’ve reinstalled the presets. I can’t think of what else to do. I’d like to get my work done.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Uninstall the drivers using the decklink uninstall utility and then reinstall the latest drivers.

Hi Sudhir,
The FCS updates it doesn’t show up as FC updates, buts as “Pro Applications Update”. Is possible that you have to update QT in order to be able to install those updates.
Is possible that you need too something call”Pro Kit Update” and “Leopard Graphic Update”.
Do it because FC 6.0 is very buggy.

just for the record and my experience 6.01 is not too bad.
I refuse to go any higher because I’ve read so many complaints
here and elsewhere on the newer versions. -
You’re missing out on the great new Apple Espresso module that was released in the 6.0.4 update. It automatically makes excellent lattes and macchiatos too.
