oh btw forgot to mention, i can capture files for any amount of time through xpress and get no error whatsoever.

and right now there are no frame drops because this disk array is capable of capturing 183 fps in 8 bit 720p format.

oh man, just when things were starting to look up another problem comes up.

im able to capture through premiere pro now, but for some reason it just stops capturing, it doesnt say capture stopped the preview frame just stops and the time count for the capture stops as well. the record button still has the pressed graphic.

So Im like maybe it is recording and I cant preview it, but nope. I left the capture on for two more minutes then pressed stop, checked out the capture feed and surely enough the capture had ended when the preview paused.

Im going to be editing in premiere pro which is why I need to capture in it.

Blackmagic xpress seems to give me a file which premiere cant conform and crashed right when it gets to the end, if I try to give it the sound and video seperately they are severely out of sync and the video is usually longer than the sound.

it is not a disk speed problem now either, I went out and bought 4 harddrives today and have set them up in raid zero. ran speed test and the speed of the disks was more than enough to handle 720p 8bit blackmagic files and 59.94.

can anyone help?

the premiere captures seem to be in sync when viewed in premiere or if someone could tell me how to get it in sync from the xpress captures that could work to.

Okay well I figured it out. I had to uninstall blackmagic and premiere. reinstalled premiere updated it, then installed intensity and now it sees it.

as for the vid problems, i think it is because of the decoder being used to display the feed in media xpress and using the mjpeg codec caused the video to have major interlacing artifacts. now I just do uncompressed encoding, and the pic quality seems perfectly fine in the output file.

so in case anyone is having the same problem, just do uncompressed encoding, in the display for media xpress you will see bad aliasing issues but it will be fine in the output file.
