  • Live monitor update – mouse vs. wacom?

    Posted by Paul Escandon on January 29, 2008 at 5:25 pm

    Here’s the specific situation:

    When using the Magic Bullet Colorista plugin in Final Cut my video monitor does not update while I’m making a correction when I use the my WACOM tablet. It does however update “live” as I’m making the correction when I use my mighty mouse to click and drag. This makes it nearly impossible for me to work with the WACOM although that is my preferred device because I need to be seeing my changes “live” as I’m making them. I think I’ve seen this type of behavior before even outside of the Colorista plugin – but not exactly sure. Not sure if this is a Magic Bullet issue, an Apple issue, or a WACOM issue, so I’m posting it here.

    Does anyone know if there’s a work around to this or is this just the way it is? Walter Biscardi – I know you use a WACOM and Colorista… so I’m wondering if you’ve experienced this too?

    My specs on this machine are Final cut 5.1.4 and Colorista (latest version I think is 1.0.1)
    Mac OS X 10.4.11
    Mac Pro 8 core 3GHz
    Kona 3 IO feeding Sony broadcast monitor via SDI.

    Any thoughts? Thanks.

    I should probably add that my WACOM tablet is an Intuous3 size 6×11.
