No it’s not just BlackMagic. We have the same problem with 8but YUV uncompressed from a Targa 3000 system.
And all these files work fine n After FX 6.5. What has Adobe done to their importer!

I assume the home grown SAN is running Mayastor? It sounds like a lot more work to setup, and I would think similar in price in the end by the time you buy the raid controller and Qlogic HBA plus the computer?
Read throughput will be more of an issue than write speeds for our video editing though.
Thanks for the info.

The specs sound great on that unit, are there any issues to watch out for? Is the battery backup needed if you use a ups? I’d be using it with Windows XP, 2gig fibre Atto 3322HBAs and 3400D hub.
Thanks

I can confirm we have the firewire capture problem as well.
We’ve had a problem of NTSC DV fields (on an 8 bit timeline) playing correctly in realtime, but being backwards for anything rendered. I haven’t checked 2 for this but certainly 1.5.
We also have a problem of NTSC DV footage on an 8 bit timeline going soft when titles are overlaid in 2.0. I don’t know if I’m alone on this one.

I’m using the /3G switch with 4 Gig, do you know if the PAE switch works with Opterons? Or is it only an Intel thing.
The error I get with Premiere and large jobs is something about the system getting low on resources and to save. I’ll have to write it down and call Adobe next time to find out what it means.

I remember getting L/R swapped for the offline capture, fixing it for the batch recapture forgetting it would screw up all the mixing work that was “backwards”.
One of the “stupidist” things to happen in our shop was a cameraman who accidently shot on the cleaning tape for its full 10 minute length…then the material was key to the story so we had to play the whole tape back in another machine to make a dub. We did it a couple of minutes at a time so the heads didn’t overheat. DVCPro camera and deck still going strong years later. Tough heads, but I was sure they would be damaged after that episode.

Hi
This is new with Premiere 2.0.
The field reversal problem aside, we find Premiere titles actually go soft over DV material on an 8 bit timeline. It is like the titles are scaling from 486 to 480 or something.

When you use ProVTR do you control the deck through the decklink card? or do you use another com port with 422 coverter?
I have 7.1 but haven’t installed it with decklink.

I haven’t noticed that one. Thanks for the info.
I thought ProVTR is the plugin that Adobe uses in 2.0?

We get that message once in a while to. I’m not sure I’ve resolved it but it seems you are better to have your VTR off while you load premiere or the decklink port isn’t always available (com 3 in our setup). Others were having problems when their onboard ports (com1 and com2) were disabled in bios.
As for the 15 frame delay…these are my notes for getting sync right.
“First – Manual edit controls the actual inpoint on the tape. We find 5 works on our machines so you might want to start there. You have to get this right first. Take a black tape, a timeline with bars, park your cursor on bars (so bars is in the frame buffer on screen), record and check the inpoint for accuracy.
Seond – Delay start controls when Premiere plays the timeline. Again I think 5 works for us. If this is off in one direction you record whatever is in the frame buffer for a few frames, if it is off in the other you miss the first few frames of your show. I suggest a timeline of single frame countdown to set this.”
Good luck.
