Files created with BlackMagic Deck Link Studio 4k and recorded in Premiere 23.6.2 work fine.  Updating to 23.6.4 / 24.2.1 / Beta 24.3 have a pending file issue where it takes forever for Premiere to find the file and import it into a project.  A project with many created BlackMagic files takes forever to open.   I made a real time video for you to see the issue.

Drivers for the Black Magic Card have been updated to make sure it is not the issue.

Good work!

    This issue is addressed in the current Premiere Pro 25.4 Beta and will ship in the next update.

    Latest update on this problem.

    AVI files (DV) also causes problems on some PC's with only Premiere Cc2024 installed without third party pluggins.

    The only workarround I have with these systems is to install CC2023.6 or lower to edit DV avi files.

    Today I also noticed that out archive DV25 AVI files cause problems in CC2024.

    Note, this happens with systems with Decklinkcard and or Ross Xpression (AVI) codecs installed.

    Same setup works fine with CC2023.6 or lower version.

     

    When one or more DV25 AVI files are imported from a network server, Premiere becomes very slow and unresponsive.

    Hi Bruce,

    Can you please check this?

    Windows mediaplayer works fine with these codecs.

    It looks like Premiere is not using the windows codecs in the right way.

    >What is changed that this does not work any more as expected?

    We cannot be sure, because you're asking about the performance of third party components.
    Your testing confirmed that PPro performs well, without those third party components.

    Bruce, don't forget that this worked fine with CC2023.6 !

    What is changed that this does not work any more as expected?

     

    Black Magic support is very important for broadcasters.

    > What happend that this does not work anymore?

    As your testing has shown, the problem is with third party software components, so we cannot provide meaningful guidance. 

    Also, it sounds like you're conflating 'codecs', installed at the system level, with Transmit plugins for PPro (from BlackMagic and NDI), which allow for external display. These are distinct.

    Hi Bruce,

    We have to get the BM drivers installed to get the SDI broadcast monitoring working while editing.

    What happend that this does not work anymore?

    Same goes for Newtek NDI codecs.

     

    With Ross Xpression we create all AVI+alpha files with Premiere. It does not except other formats.
