Hi Chad,

I was finally able to test it and when I went to recreate the issue, It laid off fine. I ended up setting my sequence to start at 00:59:59:00 and have the head of my clip on 0059:59:19. The In point on the tape was 00:59:59:00 and my program started at 01:00:00:00. I believe the culprit in this scenario was the scene detection on the teranex. I had to set it to Film or Video but not Auto Any ideas on why this would work?

THANKS!

I’ll do my best to answer all these as best I can:

Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme.
It is being fed HD 1080 59.94i reference.
The 1800 is being fed reference from the video.
FCP is set for 23.98 but device control is 1080 59.94i.

Does that answer all your questions or do you need more info?

THANKS!

I am having the same issue as well.

I am doing some testing for laying off from Premiere CS6 using a Blackmagic card. I was able to output an SD sequence to D-Beta with some glitches but when I go to HD, I get the flashing blue “playing on video hardware” I’ve exported out a self contained QT of the file and brought it back in to see if that helps, but it yielded the same results. Any help would be most appreciated! Thanks!

I like that this is not a default. However I found this option in the Clip> Video Options > Scale to Frame Size

Not sure if this is what you meant by Edit > Pref.

I should specify that I am working in CS6 and am not sure if this thread was addressing an older version of Premiere.

Thank you for all those reading. Please see a more descriptive issue of the problem below:

While working on a project associated with P2 media, during the end stages of finishing, my FCP system crashed (just the software, not the program). I had saved it just before, and only I had one revision that would not have saved. Upon re-opening the project, all of my P2 media had gone offline. It still existed in the same place on the hard drive. Upon relinking, FCP told me that the clips had a different “Rate” and “Reel.” This had happened to me in the past, and would knock the whole sequence off and not include the selects I needed. In the past, a fix was never found as we did not go back to that part of the project.

Upon further review, I noticed that this metadata issue was happening in Finder – not just within FCP – as an old (and should be unaffected) Autosave of the project had the same issues relinking.

After some workarounds, I noticed that some clips did not even have the same file name as my original sequence. Going back to my clients drive, I found the clip I needed and re-transferred it to my system. The clip on my system (which has the same name) did not have the same media. Some how during the crash, the metadata of the clips (TC, rate, reel, and even MEDIA) had been shifted some how.

Has anyone been affected by this before? Was it with P2 media, or other digital files? Is there any way to reconnect media properly when FCP believes the clip has a different Rate or Reel?

Any help on the matter would be appreciated.

Thank you.
