Question

Laggy performance with Black Magic UltraStudioMini and Premiere

Hello! I can't seem to figure out if there's some sort of setting I should be adjusting, or if it's just a failing in Premiere... but when I "transmit" playback to my reference monitor (via Thunderbolt to my BlackMagicUltraStudioMiniMonitor>SDI > FSI DM240 monitor) my playback responsiveness is slow in Premiere. I'm not talking about audio sync/offset. I'm talking about when I hit the space bar to play/pause it takes longer to respond. I don't have this problem when doing the same in Resolve or Avid... and the problem goes away if I un-check "transmit" playback and just use my computer monitor to edit. Does anyone have any insight? Thanks in advance!

Same problem here. Whenever Mercury Transmit is enabled and a reference monitor is connected with Blackmagic or AJA device the issue occurs.

Already have contact with support and it's a known bug.

Problem is that it didn't get fixed, even in beta release 15.1.

      I would install a different BMD driver. BMD drivers can be a pain in the buttocks. One driver made the JK and L key unusable on my system. BMD confirmed it was a bug on their end. Who would have thought that could happen?


      Andy, I've experienced this problem consistently over multiple BMD driver releases... and I don't experience the problem if I open Avid or DaVinci Resolve, so I'm pretty sure the problem exists within Premiere.
