This was a pretty helpful thread. What did you end up using ultimately?

Not sure if this will help but it worked for a project I’m currently editing.
If your sequence codec is set to ProRes, click on the “Advanced” button underneath it. There should be an option called “Gamma Correction”. Click on the drop down and change it from “Automatic” to “None”.
The difference was night and day for me.

I will definitely try out your suggestions. Thanks for all your help. I should have paid more attention to these finer points when working with my media. Still learning as I go along.
As for the audio issues, it SHOULD work fine but it’s a problem that has been painstakingly troubleshooted with two sets of monitors, two sets of cables, two BM cards and a lot of tests. It’s either analog or built-in audio out, bypassing the BM card. I had the assistance of someone who has set up this kind of suite many, many times and he’s never encountered the issue before. We had email chains with BM Tech Support a mile long. All parties involved are a bit baffled by the problem.

I checked my settings in FCP. Video output is set to 1080p, 23.976 to 59.94. But, that made me wonder if changing from Progressive to Interlaced would make a difference in Premiere. And it does. AVCHD, Interlaced, 59.94i sends Alexa and 5D footage to the monitor in 1920×1080 sequence. Why would it differ from one NLE to another?
As for the mixer, are you saying that it would experience peaking when outputting through the BM card?
-
Would it still be a connection issue if I can get the same video to play back in 1080p in both Final Cut Pro and After Effects?
Here’s an image of the set up that I currently have running. Like many others I’m trying to switch to another NLE since FCPX, hence it being an FCP Setup.
The mixer is a Mackie ProFX 12-channel and the monitors are M-Audio BX5a’s.

Myself and their tech support are on a first name basis at this point. They have sent an RMA just in case and told me it would take their engineers 6 to 8 weeks to work out a new driver. I know this sounds more like a BM issue, but I was able to work around it in FCP and hope I can do the same with Premiere.

I was able to download another one, this time the whole file, and it imports just fine. I guess that was the only issue. The other clip I got must have been faulty to begin with.
Thanks for the help (even though it was ultimately a silly issue).
-
Alright. I guess I’ll keep trying it out and email Blackmagic if need be.
I’m trying so hard to give Premiere a chance but it’s one thing after another… Thanks for the quick response.
-
Thanks Gary. I will re-download the clips and see if that changes things. Maybe the download got cut off and I never noticed? That said, I’m not sure how these open in Safari but they do consistently…

Did anyone figure this out? I’m having the same issues. Using a Blackmagic Decklink Studio 2 card with an 8.0.0 or higher driver. Tried it with uncompressed formats but still can’t seem to get a monitor output.
