Re: Blackmagic Desktop Video Software v10.1.1 Update
But to be fair and to stay on topic, I still havent tested the latest bm driver. I guess i’ll just wait for an entire OS upgrade and reinstall before doing so. In the meantime don’t hesitate to chime in with your results on different bm drivers, always good to know.

Re: Blackmagic Desktop Video Software v10.1.1 Update
BM 10.9.7 and 18.3 seems to be a pretty good combo.

Re: Blackmagic Desktop Video Software v10.1.1 Update
Using 10.9.7 now for a while on PT2018.3 (2018.4 seems to have a few issues so I went back to 2018.3) on Mac Sierra 10.12.6
It doesn't sync drift, but what I really hate about it: everytime you hit play the video chases/jumps at the start and it takes about 1-3 seconds to settle for sync. So you have to start earlier to actually check sync when editing six/dialog etc. This adds up to a lot of wasted time during a working day. I stayed on PT11, OS10.8.5, BM 10.4.3 for a long time, as this was a very stable combination and working MUCH better than the combination above. I'm really not impressed by this "progress". On one of our other systems during the PT12.7 days we bought Video Slave (to get rid of all the video problems inside PT) which is a lot better than the built in video in PT, but I would prefer having video and audio in PT for ease of use. I wonder when there will be a combination of PT and BM drivers, that actually works in a professional manner... Greetings, Thierry

Re: Blackmagic Desktop Video Software v10.1.1 Update
Just FYI:
I'm on BM 10.9.12 with 2018.4 and have zero problems. Stable sync.

Tested with a HDX2 system with BM Intensity Pro and with HDX system with Intensity Pro 4K. I know these cards are not genlocked, but the point is that with PT11 and BM 10.4.3 it worked perfectly. I will test further with our Decklink systems later... Greetings, Thierry

Re: Blackmagic Desktop Video Software v10.1.1 Update
I had major video engine problems in my last mix, PT2018.4 OS X10.13.3 and BM Driver 10.9.10, video engine errors all over, PT crashes. Avid is still trying to figure it out. Now I had a week in between mixes so I reinstalled everything from scratch, formatted my drive. Same OS/PT version but BM driver 10.9.12, now I get get no picture out on HDMI at all, Systems prefs seems to see the card (Decklink 3D Extreme), and in PT I can enable and disable video hardware. No picture out though. I tried uninstalling the driver many times, tried most versions from 10.9.4 and up. Disabled Mac's SIP so I wont have to approve the driver install in the privacy prefs. I even installed Sierra on another drive with PT 2018.4 and tried with the same results. Reseated the card in another PCI slot even. I can run picture direct from my Mac but my BM card is genlocked and I have a few PT systems on satellite link so I would prefer that. Computer is a MacPro 5.1 20GB RAM. Mixing 2 weeks now so if anyone have a clue let me know.
Update: Seem to be a codec problem, I imported a H264 and I get picture, but I did install Avids new codec package 2.3.7, using DnxHD.... Update 2: Very strange problem, I get picture with DnxHD codec as long as I run the card on genlock with a master clock. Without clock, some ProRes and H264 codecs works, DnxHD not. Update 3: The initial video engine errors and crashes was caused by Waves plug-ins. I have Mercury installed and upon removing all Waveshells I had no further error in either 10.12 or 10.13.3. On my other system (same setup) Waves runs fine, that system does not have a BM card installed though, I suspect a Waves/BM driver issue. Avid is testing this now.

Re: Blackmagic Desktop Video Software v10.1.1 Update
Also, take care, as these drivers seem to add another frame of delay which you'll have to compensate for in Video Sync Offset.
