Thanks for the post. The playback issues happen when using RAM preview in AE as well as a rendered time-line in Premiere. We had our Mac guy (who worked for Adobe on the AE team)come in to check the settings… as well as try many others. Our System checked out fine. He suggested that we go to a SAS enclosure Raid for better transfer rate.

I am having the same issues previewing 720p footage as well… Before we drop another $1,200 on a raid… What else can be the cause of this choppy playback?

Playback is fine when I don’t go through the Black Magic card and preview on the monitor… this tells me it is not a hard drive issue.

Where do I find support for Black Magic products? Didn’t see it on their website…

Thanks, Robert
