Question

Is anybody working with BMD to fix the decklink drivers?

There have been consistency issues for sometime now with Adobe and Decklink drivers, specifically at 2160p60. To get them working, the framerate will have to changed down to 24 and back again before they display correctly.

Also toggling between After eEffects and Premiere does not work, and the first app opened keeps priority. After Effects BMD Mercury only works if Premiere is not open when you open After Effects.

It is good to see progress on HDR monitoring in AE, though it would be good if you could auto scale the comp size into suitable Decklink size for display, rather than the frankly ridiculous current system of manually picking Scale up, Down or OFF. It is important when footage and comp sizes are often very different

Adobe say this is in the hands of Blackmagic. I just wanted to see if it was being looked into, and suggest a scheduled contact between the two companies, specifically on point releases of software. It feels like this has slipped down the priority list a lot, though probably at BMD’s fault not Adobe. Unfortunately, comtinued profesional use of Adobe products is dependent upon consistent professional mastering display, which is currently not being delivered.
