that could be the problem, as when i reopen my project and create a new view, it’s already set to wireframe and top – when usually a new view is set to a duplicate of what you already had. my extra comp windows ARE off the main ae app screen, but i can’t seem to extend the ae app containing window across two screens?
in any case, my project, render queue and effects palettes are all floating undocked on monitor two, so i can’t understand why these undocked windows retain their position properties and an undocked view/comp window does not.

thanks anyway, i will submit to adobe.

yes, i’ve got all this down, and output appears both in afx and also the client monitor, but that’s not my issue.
my issue is that i can’t get a full quality render (ie, using “accurate” in the blackmagic settings) to play in real time.

if i set the preview options to “faster” it plays real time, but even though my comp settings are set to full, and it displays full quality on my computer monitor, the broadcast monitor shows a pixelated version that looks like half res.
if i set my comp settings to half res, the broadcast monitor looks like it’s showing 1/3 res.

this is weird because using a bm card on an older mac (non-intel) the preview is full quality and real time.
it’s not an issue with my broadcast monitor as i get full quality realtime hd playback from fcp.

are there special drivers needed to get proper playback functionality out of after effects? the manual does not seem to indicate this.

i am baffled as to why one program can play realtime quality hd and another program can’t even do realtime quality pal/ntsc or lower.

thanks,
scott.

hi,

i’m also trying to figure out why this option is even here if we can’t use it. was just about to search the archives (probably will anyway).

anyway, i’d really like to be able to use this feature with my decklink hd extreme. if anyone can tell us how it’s done i’d be most grateful.

i’m on an intel mac and mainly use my decklink with after effects and fcp.

thanks,
scott.

i have to select my other viewer because it keeps getting hidden behind other windows, mainly my project window and effects window, which are on monitor 01, with my timeline and main viewer taking up all of monitor two.
also, if my top view viewing window isn’t in the right place, i have to pan around using the hand tool to find my layers SO that i can grab them.

i think i have to select the viewer by clicking on it’s frame (where the max/minimize/close controls are), not in the viewer itself. just a silly ae7 workflow issue i guess. there are lots of them.
