  • Just upgraded to FCP 5.1 – no video playback

    Posted by David Eells on June 23, 2006 at 6:16 pm

    Show Current Frame works (just shows a still)
    Show All Frames does not
    Video Black goes to output monitor

    OSX 10.4.6
    FCP 5.1
    BM driver 5.6
    QT 7.1
    Using BM NTSC 8-bit easy setup

    If I boot into 10.3.8 off of my other HD and run FCP 4.5, everything’s fine.

    I haven’t been able to find this particular problem

    Please try removing existing drivers using the “Uninstall Blackmagic” application, then re-install the drivers again.

    Here’s what I did:

    Upgrade to Tiger
    Upgrade to FCP 5.1
    Download BM 5.6 driver
    Uninstall Bm drivers
    Install new BM driver
    —–
    Unable to get video output
    Booted to previous version – worked as expected
    —–
    Contact BM
    Post on Cow
    —–
    Uninstall BM driver as advised
    Reinstall BM driver as advised

    Ok, what kind of “upgrade’ to Tiger did you do?

    Have you done a clean install of Tiger instead of an upgrade install?

    Hi Kristian

    I guess a clean install is the next step. I’ll get back to you in a couple of weeks.
