Thanks all for the responses to this, there’s a lot of different emotions when it comes to the “newbies” and I count myself among them since I have less than ten years in the industry, I take it a bit too much to heart when someone I respect professionally decries the group as a whole. I’m taking in from the responses that, yes indeed, there are qualities that cannot be learned quickly and things that should be forgotten after they occur (getting burned badly)in order to keep passion a fundamental driver.
All the best.

Yeah, the big thing is the sync. If you are shooting live action to sync to music later, make sure they are syncing to the actual recording, not their own playing. Bands will play a totally different tempo live vs the recording. The only exception I have seen was a band I’m currently working with, whose drummer works on a metronome. It keeps their tempo recording perfect, so even their live shows are easy to sync in.

Are you using the Components and RCA audio? Have you made sure on your blackmagic decklink driver settings that it is using the correct audio in?

You do have the audio out coming from the Blackmagic card, right? Also, have you made sure your outputs are correct in the blackmagic control panel settings? I had this problem for a bit, but it was due to the fact I was using my audio card as output and not the Blackmagic card’s outputs.< Tracy Peterson http://www.onetwomany.com

If monitoring options are greyed, you are out of luck.
Hmm, I did read somewhere that you can text edit project presets, but I’ve never tried it, perhaps this would unlock the monitoring options. Be careful and make backups, or be ready to reinstall BMD.
Why does the workaround of importing to a non BMD project not work for you, is it that you just want it to work at the same time in the same project?

So your project is a DV project, captured from a DV camera over firewire and cannot send out to a DV firewire deck or camera? Is the decklink card being used at all?
Have you set the monitoring to firewire as well? This should be somewhere in the preferences or sequence settings. It’s how you would preview over firewire. This makes sure there is a DV signal going out over your firewire connection as well as deck control.

Also, I’ll go back over to your other thread and see if I can test specific case. Were you able to reproduce that error on a new project? One generated in the current install, with other footage, similar edits? If so, you could list the steps so other people could test it with you to check.

Yasser,
I haven’t experienced any error like that, though you may want to send emails to support@ blackmagic. They could help you if you still have that issue.
