23.976 and 29.97 fps 720p timelines do not currently output through BM cards. It’s a bug and I told BM support before 9.5.2 came out but I guess they did not fix it yet, too bad because I do a lot of 720p work that currently has to be done with CS5.

Man, that one has been plaguing me for months with my UltraStudio Pro (although not a problem with my Decklink Studio 2, strange) BM even had me send the unit to them to try, they could not hear the problem.
Disabling BMDImport worked for me too, so far everything is importing/working fine without the plugin.
Thanks for the workaround.Jeff Kosmicki

You can only capture/play Blackmagic codec-based files with MediaExpress. You may want to try the Blackmagic MJPG codec. If the quality is not good enough, then maybe go with CineForm, although you will still not be able to use it with MediaExpress. But you could use CineForm’s HDLink simple capture application or Premiere for a more complete capture solution.

You need to use a Blackmagic editing mode for output through the DeckLink card. You can simply use one of the Blackmagic presets when creating a sequence. The Blackmagic sequence will edit/function like any other Premiere sequence.
Premiere is designed to have the ability to use multiple editing modes, giving the user the ability to switch between multiple hardware and software configurations in a single system.Jeff Kosmicki

1920×1080 29.976p and 59.95i play fine on my Decklink Studio, but 1920×1080 59.94p does not play or output.

Kristian,
I currently have a Nvidia GeForce GTX470, but I’ve had the problem with an Nvidia Quadro FX1800 and an ATI Radeon HD4000 series.
Make sure you use a Blackmagic SD AVI file, I use the uncompressed 10 bit and 8 bit codecs.
Did you look at James Orlowski’s videos? They really illustrate the problem well.
Let me know if you need more info.Jeff Kosmicki

Albert,
I can reproduce the problem by:
1) create a Blackmagic NTSC SD timeline
2) add 2 Blackmagic AVI’s that are SD with interlaced fields
3) add a dissovle between the two clips, make sure the clips have NO yellow or red lines above them. Make sure the dissovle DOES have a yellow or red line above it.
4) start the timeline and the picture will shift a pixel when the dissovle plays.For me the problem happens with interlaced footage (Blackmagic codec)in both CS4 and CS5. The shift occurs when the CTI goes from an area of the timeline with no colored render bar to an area with yellow or red colored render bar (or green for that matter).

I’ve talked to Albert before with other issues. I will contact him with this problem (although I’m sure I did originally when I first got the DeckLink card).

Yeah it sucks, that’s why we need to make sure Blackmagic is aware of it.

I’ve always had this problem with my Decklink card (year and half or so). For me, using CS4, the shift happens on clips or transisitions with a redline (even though the areas play realtime). The shift remians if I render the area. To solve the problem I add an effect that causes the entire timeline to redline (like CineForm’s force render), then I get a shift on everything equally.
It’s only a problem on the Decklink outputs, all of them for me, I use the SDI HD and SD, HDMI and component outputs. When rendering the timeline to digital files the problem does not occur.
Contact Blackmagic and tell them, I have submitted a support ticket several times about this, but to no avail.Jeff Kosmicki
