Hi Dave,

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I was hoping you were on to something, however I am updated to 9.02.42…

ANyone else have this problem? I am the only one with this conflict? Any ideas?

Maybe I will have to make the move to CS5 and hope for the best.

Hi Joshua,

Thanks for responding to my post. You are on to something. Indeed, Premiere only crashes when I use a BMD preset. If I set up my own custom project setting, it works fine.

Do you think once a BMD I/O card is installed, I will be able to use the Blackmagic easy setups without crashing?

Or what about trying to use the Jpeg or ProRes compression? SHouldnt a Firewire Raid be able to handle that?

Hi Bob,

Thanks for answering my question. I have always worked in 720×486, but where it is confusing is the SDI. Is SDI a 720×480 resolution? A monitor company is telling me that SDI is only 480 scanlines. SO what would that mean when I try to output through the card. Does the Blackmagic take my 486 signal and alter it to deliver it to 480?

Or am I just mistaken or have bad information.

Thanks Bob.

Nevermind, found it in the graph editor. I guessed they moved it when version 8 came out.

Yeah, I just looked through Compressor. It definitely can do HD. Try it if you have it on your system…

I am not sure about After Effects, but perhaps trying Quicktime pro (with the Mpeg-2 encoder) or possibly Compressor would yield better results?

If all is at a loss, I bet Bit Vice could do it. I am not sure of your deadlines or budget, but it might be worth looking into it….

Good Luck.

Hi Adolfo,

It turns out that my client sent Pro Res captured files instead of Blackmagic…But I was able to find out that you get the Blackmagic codec installed when you download one of the drivers for the card. They bundle the codec with the drivers. So if you are looking for the codec, just download the driver package off the Blackmagic website.

Helena,

Are we missing the obvious? Did you install keylight? If I remember correctly, dont you have to do a separate installation for keylight outside of After Effects? Just a shot in the dark…

Hi Steve,

Thanks for taking the time to help me. You know, rather then try to figure out what someone did, I just went back to the prerenders in my project, and re-rendered them upper field first. Then I interpreted them correctly, brought them into the master project, added my new text and re-rendered upper field and the problem has gone away.

So like you stated, somebody either rendered on the wrong field or interpreted something incorrectly.

Am I wrong in thinking that everything in 1080i should be rendered upper field? I think some people are going progressive. I know you can get away with that in SD, but in HD, I seem to get issues..

Thanks again.
