Hi Folks: I know this is an old thread, but I’m trying to solve the same problem with a Premiere CS6 new project defaulting to AVI for our small station’s news department. The last post I saw was 2013 and I still have not seen any answer to the problem from that thread (or other forums, etc on the net). With novice news people having to edit their files at the last minute, they often forget to check the settings and our on air playback will not handle AVI.(Yeah, I know about deadlines & double checks, but we’re a small market station where people get their start). I’m sure many of you have moved on to upgraded version, we don’t have that option at the moment. Again, did any of you find a workaround or solution to keep Premiere CS6 from automatically defaulting to an AVI files – we need it to default to MPEG 2. THANKS!

Hi, Peter!
Ha, ha! Yes, a decklink card may eventualy be a requirement, however, according to the manual, it shouldn’t be necessary for the external viewing. I’ve got an idea it’s a setting I haven’t discovered, but, so far I’m stumped! 🙂 Many thanks for the input!

Hi, Walter!
I very much appreciate the input. The curious thing in this situation is that FCP works perfectly fine through the firewire to dvcpro deck to external monitor connection, however Motion does not. The fault is most probably mine in overlooking something, but I’m stuck. I have seen only one other mention of this occuring in a threat on another site, but no solution was posted. Again, many thanks for the post.

Thanks! I’ll give that a try the first chance I get.

Hi, Jim!
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I’ve tried that and I wish it had been that easy. But, perhaps, you can answer this question. Do you recall if Motion defaults to the “view on an external monitor” mode when the program is first installed?

Winston and all:
I seem to be having the same problem with Motion 2.0 and I’m going from Quad Mac directly by firewire to Panasonic DVCPRO deck then into 15 inch broadcast monitor. I do have a Decklink card installed, but that is not being used, nor is it hookd up to anything extrenal at the moment.
I have tried external monitor button and the menu external video switching, but have yet to see anything at all on the monitor. No problem with Final Cut Pro, it’s fine on the outboard broadcast monitor – however, with Soundtrack Pro I was able to get it to output video to external mon., but haven’t lately. I see there is a Motion 2.1, anyone know if there are bug fixes for these problems or am I/we just doing something wrong? Yeah, I know, probably the latter. 🙂
