Everything I’ve read is that in order for CS5.5 to work you need the Blackmagic Desktop Video driver version 8 or higher and I have 8.0.1. Which it would just “work” I’ve been spoiled over the years by FCP. We edit RED, Alexa ProRes and Canon DSLR footage and it kills me that I can’t just set my playback settings like I could in Final Cut.

I wasn’t but I just created a new project and used the following settings.

Capture Format: Blackmagic Capture
Sequence Preset: Blackmagic Digital SLR 23.976

Create a sequence, import some clips, drag one into the timeline and now the program viewer remains black and will not playback the timeline, nor does it play out to the monitor and when I attempt to look at the playback settings window instead of getting the window like the one in my original post the only thing that comes up is a small window asking whether or not I want to turn off a drop frame warning.

I appreciate any advice you may have.
