  Presets not available in sequence or Video playback settings?

  Posted by Paul Strilka on July 17, 2007 at 10:10 pm

  I just installed a new BM HD Extreme card. I installed the latest driver (6.3)
  I am running QT 7.2 and FCP 6.0.1
  When I launch FCP it prompts me to select a Sequence Preset.
  The drop down window contains many Blackmagic options- but many others are missing. For example: I only have 3 choices of 1080i 59.94 (10bit, 10bit RGB, or 8bit).
  There are only 2 DVCproHD options.
  And there is no NTSC DV option, etc. Many other codecs missing as well.

  (If I choose CANCEL I do not get a Timeline or Canvas window and they are grayed out the Window drop down menu. If I choose a preset- even one I do not want- I get a complete layout.)

  Once inside FCP- I tried Audio/Video Settings Menu.
  Now- ALL options including 1080i 59.94 ProRes, 1080i 59.94 DVCpro, NTSC DV, etc.
  are sudenly available as Capture presets- BUT they are not listed under Sequence Preset menu. (?)
  If I select Easy Set-up- ALL BM presets are listed.
  but when I try to edit to timeline I get a prompt telling to match settings.

  In addition; Many of these same setting options are missing from the VIEW Video Playback menu as well.

  It’s all very confusing. What is going on here?

  I suppose my question is:
  How do I get All Blackmagic presets to appear as options in all settings- including sequence preset and Video playback?
