I get that with the 5.1.2 drivers. When I went to the 5.2 drivers the decklink refused to render anything. Previews or final. Trying to wrap up a few jobs so I can try and troubleshoot.

I have one of those boards. What kind of problems has there been with them?

I recently switched from Vegas to PPro. Not because I wanted to. I just bought a whole new NLE setup based around the Decklink Extreme card since it now supports the latest version of vegas.Unfortunately the link between Vegas and the Decklink card seems “unfinished” to put it politely. I found it buggy and unstable beyond use for a production enviorement.
But I knew Decklink cards had been supporting PPro for some time and we had an old copy that only cost $200 to upgrade to the latest version(1.5). So I dove into Premiere.
At first it was a totally frustrating experiance as the interfaces and toolsets are structured very differently. But as I slowly figure out all the new shortcuts and get used to Premieres workflow I’m finding there are fewer differances in actual capabilities then I first thought.
The thing I miss the most so far from Vegas is the velocity envelopes, which allow you to keyframe clip speed right on the timeline.
The thing I like most about Premiers so far is cutting and pasting elements right into After Effects since I am the chief animation artist at our facility. So I do this alot. Huge time saver.
Vegas also started out as an audio editor so this is one thing it excels at. However, Premiere’s audio capabilities aren’t too bad and even with Vegas I still found the need to occasionally dump a track to Soundforge for fine surgery.
Basically , I think you will be satisfied with either one. Though there is no good hardware for Vegas if you want to work with something other then DV sources. Premiere’s workflow is also much more similar to Avid’s if you see youself ever moving in that direction. -
It turns out the field dominance was reversed. I remember people saying this was a problem introduced with one of the patches.

I had the same question about the BM AVI 8 bit codec and was told that the Microsoft one is used instead. So I tried rendering an AVI to the uncompressed AVI setting, brought it into Premiere, and it played back with no rendering required. So I guess the Microsoft AVI uncompressed is the equivalent to the BM 8bit codec.

Maybe one or more pieces of media got corrupted? You could try renaming or moving files so the project cant find them and relink manually to try and find the problem file.

I’ve had this same problem and it seems to be related to Premiere and quicktime. I was trying to get a file from our avid system and tried many types of quicktime files and all played badly even though they played fine in the QT player.
I looked at the properties of the clips that weren’t playing to see if I could find any clues and noticed that the FPS was 3! Even files rendered from After Effects on the same machine as Premiere showed this behaviour.
The only work around I have found is to use AVIs instead. -
Maybe this program will work better for you.

That program has a problem with files over 4GBs. It causes just the audio problems you describe.

Shouldn’t be any problem.
Tell them to go to File>export>movie
choose “settings”
In the “General” settings area choose Quicktime from the drop down box
In the Video section choose the codec from the drop down. I would use the animation codec at 100% quality as it is lossless at this setting but the file size is a little smaller.
