Thanks for all the advice. Unfortunately I was not able fix it today, but did get somewhere. Apparently the monitor on the left side works. I like having the comp window on my right side monitor for preference but this does not work. I physically moved the Ultrasharp to the left side and it started to work, and now the right side monitor wont work, plays at 16-17 fps ram preview. I have tried also changing the display arrangement in system preferences but that doesn’t work.
If I physically move the ultra sharp back to the right side it stops playing back in realtime after a couple minutes.
This is the weirdest bug I have ever seen, and I doubt it could be a signal/cable issue. Maybe my computer just doesn’t like the right side monitor? I really don’t like having the comp view on my left side.
I’m very disappointed I can’t find a fix to this and what’s worse is that I fear this such a specific problem that there will never be a fix or solution. -
Ok sorry if there was a misunderstanding. I am using two Dell LCD monitors, one is an DELL 2408WFP and the other is a DELL E248WFP. Both monitors work fine in dual screen on OS X and any other application. When I move the Comp window to the ultrasharp and do a ram preview it won’t play realtime. I do see picture it’s not black or anything like that. I am NOT using any video monitors or capture cards, just two DVI LCD monitors connected to an ATI Radeon HD2600.

There is no capture card of any kind, preview is set to computer monitor only.

If you need something to smooth out shots iStabilize is an awsome app, only for mac though, but its incredibly fast and easy to use and gets amazing results. I never even knew there was such an application.
I used this on my short film for crane shots, dolly shots, steadicam shots, it works with
any kind of footage. I believe it works the same as shake as it tracks points in the whole scene and then offsets to get a steady result. Its great because it works with a moving camera. This saved me on my short and even some VFX work. It would of been such a pain to track the shots I did without this. It was about $50 when I bought it. -
Thanks for the reply Jerry. I tried the whole thing again and it seems the process with media manager is correct but my recompress settings were wrong. I have HDV 1080i60 and I’m using the OfflineRT HD (PhotoJJPEG)29.97 preset in the Media Manager. What happens is the footage gets squished to like a 2.35 aspect ratio in the OflineRT HD so when I online back to the HDV its squished which is why it needs to render. I checked to make sure the HDV sequence settings were correct by dragging in one of the original HDV clips and it needed no render. So I figured out the problem is when recompressing and using the OfflineRT HD preset in mm, the footage gets squished, the same thing happened with the DV-NTSC 16:9 preset, the ascpect didnt match. Does anyone know the right settings to recompress HDV 1080i60 to an offlinRT so the picture doesn’t get squished and I can online back to HDV1080i60.
Thanks
