Thanks Ken…I’ll give that a try but I am using CS4. I wonder if it’s the same issue with that audio. I’m still a bit confused with my reference monitor and the need to use BM presets for it to work on the timeline. I understand it’s coming out of the card but for it to work in the source monitor (in any other project) but not anywhere else kind of baffles me.

Interesting…So if I want to use the HD-SDI (in) on the Panasonic coming (out) of the Blackmagic Extreme 3, I have to use a Blackmagic project at all times in Premiere? So for all our current footage shot on the Varicam 2700, instead os using the DVCPROHD 720p24fps project, I have to use the BM Varicam one? Any difference between the two?
The Panasonic does have a DVI-D input and we have the Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 which I could go out of but why not use the HD-SDI via BNC.
If I do use the BM preset, I have to figure out the audio issue. When using BM preset, I do change the “Audio Hardware” and “Audio Output Mapping” both to Blackmagic. Still nothing.

Did end up shooting in 720pn at 24fps. Did some overcranking and undercranking with it as well. Footage came out outstanding. Actually used the 2700 again yesterday for some more shooting using the Canon 33×11 long lens. Great lens on the Varicam. Was very happy with it. I’ll end up cutting all the footage in 720 then downcovert when project is complete. Sounds good in theory at least.

Sorry Noah…didn’t mean “best” in terms of the downconvert. I think I meant “preferred” – as if you had to choose a mode on the Varicam to shoot in and then downconvert to SD, what mode would you shoot in?
