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.

Hi Michael,

iMac

3.6 GHz 10-Core Intel Core i9

AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GB

128 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

14.3.1 (23D60)

Black Magic Design Ultra Studio Monitor 3G Driver install 12.8 Also tried uninstalling and every version from 12.2.2 Version 12.3

Tried every version of Adobe Premiere Pro 2020, 2021,2022,2023 and 2024 Removed Premiere and reinstalled only a clean install of Premiere Pro 2024 first and then the BMD driver 12.8.

Flanders DM240 Monitor sees every scan rate when I select them in the driver panel and also shows up Via HDMI on my Atmos Ninja. Resolve works fine at 1080 24 P so it’s not a frame rate or frame size issue with the monitor.

Premiere sees the IO

Also tried my laptop. Same results

@Bruce Bullis might know who/what to do next.

I work for/with/teach pro colorists, so I do work with Resolve a lot, have for years. And of course am constantly in such discussions both here, and on LGG and the BM forums.

BM is an interesting company. Their profit model is useful to note: they use Resolve as a loss-leader to get you into their hardware ... but much of their hardware, like their editing keyboard and control panels ... only work with Resolve. Because they want you in that ecosystem.

They are not shall we say, overly supportive, perhaps? ... of the use of their kit in other software. Many folk do have troubles using BM kit to get a signal from Premiere ... typically, say one framerate/size combo works, another doesn't, in Premiere, but they all do in Resolve.

That said, most of the users I know of that do get playback "elsewhere" have been running a Decklink card. You're running that most wonderful Flanders ... have you checked with Bram about what he recommends using in Premiere?

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

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.

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.

That's odd. Huh.

@Warren Heaton10841144 ... you got any ideas?
