  Playback Issues – DeckLink HD Pro

  Posted by Mike Kaus on June 4, 2013 at 8:43 pm

  I’m having issues with dropped frames when editing in FCP. I can turn the dropped frame warning off, but I still hear constant audio pops from when a frame is dropped, and this makes it very difficult to work. Having other applications open definitely makes it worse, but often the problem will occur when I have nothing open. Restarting my machine will improve the situation, but only for an hour or so.

  I’m pretty sure my Blackmagic hardware is the issue, because when I turn off black magic monitoring, the problem goes away. I’ve tried updating the drivers but this did not clear up the problem. Any suggestions?

  Software:
  MacOSX v10.7.5 (Lion)
  Blackmagic Design Desktop Video 9.7.1
  FCP 7.03

  Hardware:
  -Processor 2 x 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
  -Memory 10 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
  -Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB
  -Blackmagic DeckLink HD Pro (DL)
  -Hard Drive Type: CalDigit HDOne

  Settings:
  Source Format ProRes (HQ), 1920×1080, 23.98
  Sequence Settings Same as above
  Dynamic frame rate and video quality
