Output with Decklink SP

You are not providing enough info here to help. If you give us a system configuration, what Black Magic hardware, etc., some of us here can help. Are you running hardware approved by BM and Adobe?

There is something kinky with DV preview out in 2.0. I know of one system that DV out wont work until the Playback settings window is opened and the External Device drop down is opened and then closed, even though the only device (DV 29.97i (720×480) was selected by default. 3-4 seconds later the preview begins!
On another system I had preview issues which were fixed by reloading Windows.
I seldom see issues on new computers and suspect other video apps, even Premiere Elements can screw things up for Premiere.

This is a Blackmagic Decklink SP running in an IBM 2.80 Ghz dual processor. Main video card is ATI Saphire Radeon 9600 Atlantis. The ATI has two computer monitors tied to it. I have the Decklink hooked to a router both input and output. This was working, and I am not sure what happened that it quit working. I can get output from After Effects in Preview mode, but can’t get an output from Premiere Pro. I have been working with Decklink Tech Support to try for a solution, but so far we haven’t found one. That is why IO thought maybe someone working with Premiere Pro might have a suggestion.
I hope this is enough info.

Thank you
Charlie

Have you installed any new hardware, software etc? Has anything in system BIOS been changed?
I do not know what you have tried, but if it was once working fine,(and I am assuming reliably)I would try a simple removal of the BM card. Reboot, and let windows normalize then create a new project in PPro using default Adobe settings (like dv). Shut down reinsert card and allow drivers to reinitialize. Windows will find appropriate drivers by default. Premiere will create new initialization and preference settings, and might be happy again. Be careful when removing and inserting the board – unplug AC, use static precautions, allow enought time to allow power supply to completely discharge etc.

Gene,
Thank you so very much. Something you said about starting a new project, and an e-mail I got from Joshua at Blackmagic, rang the bell in my head, and oh god did it ring loud. It is working fine now. Somehow through blind luck I had not had any problems just not really doing anything with the settings when creating a new project. Now what I need to know how do you change settings once a project has been established? So I can change from DV to Blackmagic settings.

Thank you thank you thank you,

Charlie

Hi Charlie
You can start a new project with Black Magic preference selected that you want(ex. 10 bit NTSC). Once you select that and assign name folder options etc. and premiere opens, you can import the project and insert at beginning of timeline. This will import the entire project you were having problems with allowing you to finish your edit. You will encounter some rendering, but it will allow you to finish. Hope that helps you get through.
