Hi,
I have exactly the same problem in Premiere Pro under Win XP. Several systems, Decklink cards and DBTC (PAL) decks. I have noticed this issue from the first time I ever start to use BM cards, probabaly from 4.8 drivers and PPro 1.5. No preroll times nor delays can solve this. It remains until now with 6.1 drivers and PPro 2.0. I have to admit it is a bit better now but I am always doing following wokflow/workaround: Prepare timeline carefully to export, exit PPro, load PPro and the project again, roll tape slightly (3s) before desired preroll timecode and export. Works 90%.
I’ve posted this problem several times here without ANY reaction from anyone, thinking there is a kind of ghost in our studio but now I see I am not alone.
Trying to solve this directly at BM side leads to one email from tech guy saying it could be a PAL issue connected with Sony DBTC 500 series deck. But I have noticed this with SP ones as well.
I am another one who cry for fix. Please, Blackmagic, do something with it.Jaromir

Hi,
After several tests with Nucleo Pro (we bought one license for test purposes) I have realised that it is really helpful with some simple compositions. But when you work with advanced effects/tracking/masking/painting and comp grows to more than a few layers (50-300 sometimes), Nucleo delays minutes to start and sometimes do not start at all (or I was not patient enough to wait). Perhaps it could run better with more RAM on 64bit OS. Maybe time to try is comming…

Yes, I am not arguing for Vista at all. I am just trying to find out what could be a best choice for stability and performance. We have got several (cerefully build) workstations running Deckliked Production Studio on XP (32bit) and I can say they are relatively stable. Problem is that I can read in task manager that overall processor performance is usually at 25%-30% of its possible computing ability when AE renders on its ceiling. Rarely above. Just the few AE plugins are reaching 70-80% maximum. It is a terrible wasting of computing power of todays bloody fast processors.
Anyway, I have tested Vista x64 Ultimate on one of ours Dual Opteron rendering machine, just for fun, and it seems to me it is running very smoothly and I have to admit it impressed me a little bit. But it just a first sight. Nothing to do with everyday jobs we need to do. Maybe its only a design lure as it is on OSX….

Unfortunately I have found that BM software codecs are not working. I can open BM file in AE on non BM hardware workstation but I cannot save it correctly back. Recent (4.9) 444 codec produce corrupted file which is not possible to play, older (4.8) 444 codec has big luminance shift (darken image). 422 codecs work well. Thats strange.

Problem solved. No BM nor Cineform issue. Just bad (Eastern Europian) characters in filenames. Something left unchecked during XP installation. Never seen before. Anyway, thanks to everyone…

Hi,
I have found it too. I think this happend when the uncompressed (RAW RGB) clip is placed to BM 4:2:2 timeline. The clip apperas black and white then, squeezed horizontaly and one third of it is wrapped again in right side to fill the format.Jaromir Pesr
