Well, I use a Decklink card to have 10bit output to my broadcast monitors in HD and SD downconvert. If you want to capture using an analog input, then just capture using uncompressed 8-bit, that way you won’t have artifacts from recompression.

Capture using FireWire. The way you have it the DV digital signal is going through a digital to analog converstion from the deck to the Y/C output, then from analog back to digital when capturing on your computer. Using a FireWire connection the video will stay digital with no recompression.

I have the same issue. I am running 7.5 with a Decklink Studio card, CS4, Vista 64.
It seems to happen with mono audio files in my case, but I’m not totally sure. I have been pulling my hair out trying to find the cause, it was only recently that I figured out it was audio files causing the problem.
I have talked to BM support about the problem so they should be aware of it, although last I talked to them they had not reproduced it. It seems to effect only a “select” few of us, I wonder what the common factor is?Jeff Kosmicki

After Effects does not preview fields, never has, RAM previews are always progressive. Interlaced fields are created at rendering, assuming you tell it to render fields.

I have the problem with the DeckLink Studio 2 card. It does not crash my system but the output to the monitors (from the DeckLink card) goes haywire. It happens with 255-0-0 red like you mentioned.

AE works completely in full/progressive frame, so when you do a RAM preview you will not get interlaced fields. When working with interlaced footage, you need to separate the fields for each clip using the interpret footage settings. You can then set AE to render fields in the render settings.

OK, this is what I’ve found. If in the AJA preview window, I switch the color-options from 8-bit YUV to 8-bit RGBA, I get realtime playback for all comp sizes. Unfortunately this only happens with 8-bit projects, 16 and 32-bit projects will not preivew realtime, no matter what settings are adjusted. I was able to confirm this with AJA tech support.
So I’m guessing this is an issue with Xena and color conversion from RGB to YUV, but I’m not totally sure since it doesn’t seem to work in 16 & 32-bit. Also, I don’t know if this is LHi specific, or if the other Xena cards have the same issue.Jeff Kosmicki

No it doesn’t help, even doing like a quarter rez quality makes no difference, and normally that would make a huge difference (at least in my experience with Axio and Decklink systems). It’s definitely not normal, I will contact tech support and see if they can help.
thanks,Jeff Kosmicki
