    FCP 7 and Compressor (without qmaster) are working fine for me. Haven’t tried DVDSP yet. Didn’t have to reinstall anything. Haven’t done a ton with FCP yet but projects opened and I was able to do some basic editing. I’ll update if I run into any trouble

    Hmm. QMaster pref pane also refuses to open.

    Activity Monitor reports:

    CompressorJobController not responding

    QmasterCC not responding

    Fortunately both are using 0 CPU.

    Unfortunately, the rest of the above.

    Anyone know what might be going on?

    FCP itself appears to work fine.

    Today I ran into problems after I ejected the render drive and started FCP. FCP reported not being able to find the drive like normal so I chose ‘quit’ and plugged the drive back in. At this point FCP crashed on load, citing a thread containing qmaster. I tried reopening a couple times, restarted and did the same to no avail. Compressor failed to load as well. I eventually backed up my Compressor settings folder from ~/Library/Application Support/ and then ran Compressor Repair from Digital Rebellion (https://www.digitalrebellion.com/compressorrepair/) which finally got FCP running again. Hopefully this isn’t something I’ll have to do regularly.

    So I have an iMac that I bought this year with FCP7 and Blackmagic ultra studio 3D.
    I did the upgrade today and everything seems normal until I played the video on one of my projects.
    Whats happening is that the image play normally but the Audio has a 2 second delay…. 🙁
    not sure were that came from or how to fix it. I restarted,
    trashed the preferences and looked around to try to figure out whats causing it but at this point I have no Idea.
    If anyone has a pointer on how to fix this It would be AMAZING!!!

    Cheers,

    Nano 🙂

    Is this with the blackmagic or without?

    What happens when you change External Video to off?

    Have you played with frame offset in System Settings?

    I have a blackmagic decklink HD Exreme..

    Acctualy I’m just using it to monitor audio output..

    Video Playback is set to none, and Video Output, off.

    Audio playback – blackmagic audio.

    It’s not 2 seconds, but about 28, 29 frames. Happens sometimes (almost all)..

    The audio scrubbing scrubbs after these 28,29 frames too..

    What happens when you monitor through your mac instead? Does the sync work?
    Sounds more like a problem with Black Magic’s driver.

    thanks, man!!
    Unfortunately it seems to be a black magic’s problem, but they still din’t know how to fix it..
    in the blackmagic design forum has a lot of people with the same problem..

    well, thanks anyway..!

    Im trying to go Back to 10.8 in the meantime until BlackMagic fixes their glitches 🙁
    Its painful, would not recommend the update if you have to monitor for clients.

    Levy Fioriti, do you haver the link to that forum so I can keep an eye for when a fix comes along?

    Thank you
