No video signal with Blackmagic Decklink and Premiere Pro CC

Hello,

I need help with Premiere Pro CC and BM Decklink.

I'm not able to get an output signal (external monitor, SDI&Composite ) from Premiere Pro CC.

Audio output works on the SDI monitor.

First off, It works fine with After Effects CC and Blackmagic Software, so I'm pretty I'm missing something with the PrCC settings.

I'm using a Blackmagic Decklink HD extreme (9.7.7) and the latest PrCC version.

The Playback options are set to Blackmagic Playback (only), the Sequence options are Blackmagic Uncompressed, 25fps. Video Preview is Blackmagic AVI, Codec: Uncompressed 10-bit RGB.

If anyone could help me with it, that would be great.

Thanks in advance.

What resolution is the timeline? I have had this happen if, for example, I have a 1920 25P timeline and my monitor does not actually support 25P.

The output resolution in After Effects is defined in the video preview settings, whereas Premiere Pro outputs whatever the sequence is set to. So they can be on different settings which is why one could work and not the other.

I use PCs not MACs but I found the 9.7.7 drivers were not very good with some devices and stuck with the 9.7.5. I have not tried 9.8 yet. You could try downgrading them.

Just spoke with Blackmagic Design support here in Australia and they were quite puzzled by Ae working but Pr not. They are researching a suggested older version of Desktop Video drivers to suit my MacPro1,1.... will keep you posted.

Hey S.... I've the exact same issue & symptoms (though I'm CS6 not CC) and I believe it is because my MacPro is 2x2.66 Dual Core, not Quad core. In my research a few weeks ago i saw Quad Core as the minimum spec for Premiere / Decklink.

Are you running Dual Cores or Quad ?

Have you enabled 'Transmit' in the program monitor settings?

Transmit is enabled.

It's strange that I get an audio signal on my SDI monitor, but no video signal.

Edit: btw, my other Monitor is component, not composite, like i said in my original post.

Is it an HD sequence that you are trying to view in SD? Have you got 'Enable conversion on Analogue output' selected in the Select output processing box in the BM Desktop Video setup program?
