good to know – thanks.
It also happens on the mono tracks when you breakout a stereo track to mono tracks. -
I have worked on one doc with 100’s of hours of footage starting on CS3 and up through CS5. I am currently working on a DSLR Doc with significant footage. (I am using CS5 on a 64bit PC: AMD QuadCore and the GTX285 Video Card with 8GB Ram and external SATAII drives in drive docs for footage.) I have used both FCP and PPro for short and long form documentary style (i.e. lots of interview and b-roll footage to start with and no script) over the last 10 years. And let me add that in general I prefer PPro over FCP and PCs over Macs – just so you know where I am coming from.
The ONE problem I have with PPro is that when your project has a lot of footage in it (even just 10 hours), it takes a long time to load (5 to 15 minutes) and if you click off the program to check email and the click back on to edit, there is often a delay of a minute or two while the project reloads. Now, I have only 8GB of RAM so it’s possible this delay time would go away if I upped my RAM, but I don’t know and I do know that FCP does not have this problem.
But other than that, yes, if the hardware is up to the task, then the PPro CS5 is easily up to the task of a long form Doc and you do get to work in the native formats. You will have to suffer through the dreaded “Audio Conforming” process (but then you get to do serious audio mixing in the time line.)
The main problem I have with DSLR projects though is that the audio comes in separately (from another source) and syncing it leaves you with sequences and not master clips and editing from sequences into sequences, not something I have done much of, is a real pain.

Uninstalled Black Magic Intensity Drivers and Premiere is working normally. Yay. But not great as I’d like it to work with the drivers installed. I am guessing (in part from Mike’s Comment) that once the drivers are installed, all the black magic presents are trying to play the audio out through the Intensity Pro card and not through the computers audio card (on the Motherboard.) And for some reason, with the drivers installed – all the source side audio (meaning footage not captured with the card) is also being sent to the Intensity Pro Card and not though the motherboard audio. When I have time I’ll reload the drivers and hook up my HDMI Monitor (TV) to the card and see if the audio is coming out of that.

I am using CS5 and I would like my audio back.
I will uninstall the software and drivers now and see if that works.
Then I guess I’ll have to reinstall the drivers when i want to use the card and work around the audio problem.
Too bad. -
Well since I’ve added the Intensity Pro Card – NO AUDIO plays on the source side of Premiere Pro. I have updated the drivers to 3.9.something. At least the video will now playback right after capture. And if I put it in a timeline that isn’t a blackmagic Preset – the audio plays fine.
Spent the week capturing Video from a Camera through an AJA HDP2 converter box, HD-SDI to HDMI. It worked mostly really well. Occasionally I would get images where part of the screen lagged the upper part by a a few frames, resetting the Aja box seemed to fix this, but that’s not conclusive. I did a lot of closing programs and restarting and changing settings until the “tear” went away. Sometimes it didn’t and I will have to use the P2 back up for those shots.

Also noticed that the captured video won’t playback until after you restart the program or reload the file (just a white frame immediately after capture)…? Perhaps I should skip the mjpg capture…
-
Is the problem here related to playback through the card? I want it just to capture HDMI on the fly but would be playing back through a GTX-285. How is that working?
-
Or some OS or driver update that recently auto-installed is causing the problem.

How did that work out? I am about to embark on a DLSR Edit and don;t like that my synced source will be sequences. I got Pluraleyes but I’m thinking Dualeyes might have been a better choice as it creates new clips – of course then there is all the extra media to contend with…just have rarely edited from sequences – so much harder to organize – no subclips – have to copy and paste to be able to see waveforms.
