    Ever since I have installed CS6 Premiere I am having problems with the black magic card working with the computer. I set up Premiere to output the video through blackmagic and when I start playing the timeline after a few minutes my ram is running at full and it makes my computer run really slow and the footage gets choppy and does not run smooth. I have 12 GB of ram so this should not be a problem. Once I deactivated the BM setting the problem went away. Is this a bug in the drivers or do I need more RAM? What is the problem? Any help would be great.

    What’s the Blackmagic driver version?

    Hi David,

    In previous versions of the Desktop Video driver, we were seeing RAM issues like you describe with Premiere CS6 when trying to output through our DeckLink and Intensity hardware. We added performance enhancements with the current Desktop Video 9.6.1 on Windows. If you are on a previous version of the driver, please update to 9.6.1, and this should alleviate the issue.
