OK, thanks for the ‘ignore the data’ advice.
1:2:1 Deflicker was enabled! All problems solved!
Thanks a bunch Peter 🙂

P.S. I just exported/burned a treated and untreated clip — the black dot grid pattern does not appear on a DVD playback so all signs seem to point to my Black Magic card for that trouble. The blurriness I described above is definitely there still.

No, my clip isn’t 655 x 480 — it’s a standard DV clip (720 x 480) and I’m importing some large stills (3872 x 2592) into Boris for panning/scanning over it. Actually, just applying Boris to a clip alone results in the Project Settings defaulting to 655 x 480 with no option to change this. When you say ‘slug’, do you mean dummy clip? If so, I was going to try that but apparently in PP CS5, the Video 1 track is not fed through to Boris unless it is directly applied to a clip … makes it difficult to build an effect when one can’t see what is going on.
I just set up a split clip … half with Boris applied (no parameters/FX) and half not. After rendering, the effected side of the clip shows a distinct softening, as if I had applied a small bit of blur. As well, the black dots grid appeared. Same results when Open GL off/on.
The grid does not show up inside the application (PP) … only on my output TV (40″ LCD fed by HDMI) so I’m starting to suspect my Black Magic Intensity Pro card. But why does this grid appear only when using Boris?
Thanks for your reply Peter. Any more insight you might have would be greatly appreciated.

As I suspected!
Thanks Kristian 🙂

A response from the Blackmagic support team didn’t answer my question but did serve to make me think of the solution.
Since I was just looking for monitoring usage of the card, I disregarded the instructions to start a new project using a Blackmagic preset in Premiere since all this seemed to refer only to capturing. I was simply loading one of my existing projects and looking for output to my LCD screen (no video).
It occurred to me to start a new project and import an existing one into it. Worked first time 🙂
Thanks for the use of the hall 😉

For anyone interested, a learned collegue on another answered this question for me.
The Matrox Codecs Installer must be run in ‘Windows XP sp2’ compatibility mode.
