The Great “Video Preview” Myth
-
This feature works just fine. There is, however, one major flaw in the design. No other software can be using the firewire bus. For instance, when I’m working in both After Effects and Premiere Pro, I have to quit Premiere in order to see video out to NTSC through firewire. There is no work-around, so you’ll have to quit all running services that might be using firewire before loading AE.

Nope — I mean the hardware inside the computer that has the Firewire (iLink, IEEE1394)port attached to it. Sounds like the Pyro card.

If you’re going to use this a lot, get a Parhelia card, or something similar. My card is much more responsive and accurate than my firewire out. Plus you can then jump back and forth between AE and PPRO switching inputs on your monitor, or using a simple A/B switch.

Seeing as the preview works with the Avid software we know the deck and monitor are hooked up right, I bet any money it’s the Avid DV codec, I remember a friend with XpressDV complaining that he had to keep switching the codec, think there’s a utility for it though that makes it easier.
