Hi Jeremy!
Thanks. Hey, I just watched your demo reel. Excellent. As a musician, I can really appreciate your cutting on the beats so well. Nice work!
I tried the BM Intensity Pro card with Premier 5.5 about two years ago and it would never show up in the Premier Playback Settings so that I could choose it. Of course, maybe I did something wrong. I got rid of it at that time after many futile hours.
Now, I’ve built a new Win 7 machine with Premier/AE CC and was going to give it another shot, although I’m nervous because B and H won’t take a return.
Here’s where I’m confused though.
I’m using a Canon G10 Prosumer camera, so as we know, it’s highly compressed video and therefore I don’t need to capture footage with the Black Magic because it won’t improve the quality.
But to use the BM card to see playback on an external monitor, I understand that I have to find the Black Magic option in the Premier Sequence Settings for it to work (this is maybe where I messed up last time?).
My question is, by choosing the BM Sequence Settings in Premier, do I now lose (or gain) any functionality in Premier Pro CC? Slower/faster performance, more/less options, or does it not matter at all and will just give me external monitor playback, which again, is all I really want.
I remember that I had to fiddle with many different sequence settings to get the Canon G10 footage to behave properly in the timeline and I’m afraid that if I do choose one of the BM Sequence Settings, that I may have a problem.
Thanks.
