I am having issues with Premiere Pro 2022 outputting video through my Black Magic Ultra Studio. I am on a new MacStudio running Montery OS. My BMD software and firmware are up to date and the I/O works fine with AVID and Resolve. Audio does come out through the device just not picture.

Hardware or GPU

Correct answer Bruce Bullis

no, I see

If you don't see "Blackmagic Playback" in that list, BMD's drivers are not successfully installed.

I know, it's been a while but I can't find a real solution for this? I do have the exact same thing today with a MacStudio M3Ultra with newest Premiere (25.1.1) and BMD 14.5 running, found those new ridiculous hidden switches in the security page and my UltraStudio Monitor 3G works fine in Resolve but in Premiere, it's only recognisable as an output device and in the list of possible video outputs are only my two Displays and AdobeSRT. So as it doesn't even appears in that list, the timeline size isn't the problem...

any solutions in that? Thank u

This, from above, solved the issue for other users: "Premiere needs to be installed first and then BMD software second or it won't see the Application and install the appropriate drivers."

From your description, it sounds like you don't have BMD's Transmit plugin for PPro installed.

Oh, that sounds interesting... thank u very much, will search for that plug-in later... or will it be re-installed, when doing it in the right order? Because I tried to re-install BMD several times, even with going back to 12.something...

I got mine working. The sequence must match the BMUS output - Framerate and size (1920x1080 for me).

By @StevieMichelsen

Yes, that is the only way I've been able to get it to work - to have the sequence match (exactly) the output the BMD is doing. In Resolve, you have a sequence setting and a display option so you can view your sequence scaled on the output.

Same problem but no luck with install order. Works great with Resolve not Premiere.

tpot, Never easy to troubleshoot premiere problems from a distance so please tell us your system specs: OS version, Premiere version, amount of RAM, Hardware specs including graphics card and if you have any 3rd party plugins installed for Premiere...

That I've seen before and it had to do with matching the refresh rate of the monitor to the sequence and capabilities of the card. So for that user, it took running down the correct settings in the BM controls, the right sequence frame-rates in Premiere or something.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Thanks. BMD doesn’t even show up as an available video interface in Premiere, only an audio interface.
Works fine on my Intel iMac running Premiere 2020.

Have you checked the BMD control panel in your mac system preferences? I remember needing to tweak that to get it to work.

Thanks for the suggestion Michael. I poked around the settings in the control panel and I can change up the options for the UtlraStudio but it doesn't help in making the option available in Premiere. I think the main issue is that the Premiere/Settings/Playback doesn't show the UltraStudio as an option. Premiere doesn't appear to see it in this window. I does, however, see it in the audio device window.

Are you working on a MacStudio? I have had this feature working in the past on iMac's and Adobe products on the PC but I can't seem to get it to work in this latest version of Premiere, on my MacStudio with Ventura 13.1 OS. You would think Premiere would list it as an option in those playback settings.
