WHAT is actually going on with Decklink/Premiere??

[Joshua Helling]

Did you make sure that audio in premiere was set to use Blackmagic audio and not the system audio? We can’t guarantee sync using different devices for audio and video.

I spent nearly a week trouble shooting this issue and was about to get a refund on my Decklink card when I discovered a solution (for me at least).

This is what resolved the issue for me. Go to Premiere’s ‘Preferences’ and then the ‘Playback’ section. In the ‘Audio Device’ pull down menu make sure you have ‘Blackmagic Playback’ selected (mine was set to Adobe Playback).

Note on that same page you need to have the ‘Blackmagic Playback box ticked further down under ‘Video Device’.

Hope that helps.

Chris’ information about using his old multibridge extreme was what I searched for a long time.

I having issues with my multibridge extreme since I switched from FCP to Premiere CS6. There is no playback at all via the multibridge (with one exception which is DVCPROHD codec, and I guess DV codecs which I don’t use) although I installed the newest drivers (BMD 9.7.1).

No ProRes or Uncompressed is playing back. No problem with FinalCut 7 or X.

And as Bruce posted: AE CS6 works just fine.

Chris or anyone any idea what might be the problem. Sure I checked BMD in the preferences for audio and video playback.

Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

Cheers,
Gerard
