BM, are you aware that 9.5 broke the intensity extreme?!

definately due to the BM drivers.
un install the drivers or hardware and the Avid should be snappy and fast.
apparantly BM and Avid are woking on it. Seems to be the case with most 3rd party hardware at present day.

Nope, all the systems are NBC/Uni’s..HP’s and Nitirs’.and of course, the editors would want to keep our jobs, but our post supervisor has openly stated FCPX isnt on her radar as of yet. It would be hard to convince anyone to ditch the ISIS’ and ecosytem we have here for some completely new piece of software, especially one that isnt adopted widely.
As far as the freelance goes, Its mostly the clients saying i want this cut on this or that, and i use my own gear at home mostly although occasionally a few of my clients have me work outa there offices. At home im basically setu p to use any software someone might ask for, even FCPx so its not really an issue there but Premiere CS is on every computer i’ve ever worked on, except our bays here at work, and still no ones asked me to cut on it.

I think the biggest reason at this point in the game, for not adapting to X, is because no one is aking for it. I work at an all avid place, with 2 smokes and some FCP 7 setups for the web. Not one person here has any inclination to try it.
I also pick up alot of part time free lance work. Mostly shorts and music videos with the occasional corporate job. Not one person or add ive seen asked for FCPX.. Or adobe premiere for that matter. Its all Avid and FCP7..
so my question is why learn something that youll never use in a workplace? I mean ,sure, if it you like it and you use it at home for personal stuff, but as far as getting a job, its not gonna help to th ave that experience.
With that said, ive dbbled with it, and followthe news, because if it one day does become a viable option, then ill be ready to go but i dont see that happening for years and years.
Not to mention i just love editng on Avid. Being in the cut for hours and realizing you havent touched a mouse other than to load a clip, is simply liberating.

Was wondering the same thing.. and I think its a combo of avid and bm that need to work on the fix..in fact Marrianna on acids site said its more on the 3rd party to resolve it. Might have been a cop out but couldb be truth. I’ve asked recently on acids site with no response from either. I’d really like my decklink extreme 2 AND my intensity extreme to work in caps lock mode.. everything else works good.

as of when?
6.0.1 is the last update from Avid, and if there own forums are any indication its not 100 percent stable, id say more like 75 percent if that.
in fact, its not just BM; AJA MAtrox and MOTU users are all having issues, especially with CAPS LOCK engaged.

that kind of sounds like how mine was with 9.1 ive never gotten lock ups or beach balls, its just drops in and out, and when trimming, the audio doesnt actually play with cap locks on. Regular audio scrubbing is very slow and un responsive as well.
