I recently purchased PP having decided to switch from FCP (not happy about FCP X).
After learning how to set up sequences for BM Intensity I have learned that the Intensity card doesn't handle Canon DSLR footage natively- It just plays for a few seconds and stops. Sometimes it crashes too. Does anyone else have a different experience?
On the other hand the ATI x1900xt card in the MacPro handles Canon DSLR footage natively pretty well. It's not as solid as BM intensity in FCP 7 using ProRes but it's doable. It just doesn't scrub very well but that's understandable considering the h.264 source footage.
So far my testing has also revealed that BM intensity does seem to handle AVC intra 50/100 very well in PP.
What I'm getting at is that I would really like to keep on using the BM intensity as opposed to the x1900xt for monitoring.
What has been your experience with Black Magic and Premiere CS5?
