Blackmagic Design - Leading the creative video revolution
™
Windows XP

Adobe Premiere Pro
®
Adobe Premiere Pro® is powerful real-time video and audio non-linear editing
application. The Blackmagic DeckLink installer will add easy set-ups for
Premiere Pro®.
Setting Up
Launch Premiere Pro®.
1. Open a New Project.
2. Select the appropriate Blackmagic preset for your project, e.g. NTSC or
PAL.
3. Type the name of your project.
4. Select your disk array as the location for your media and click “OK.”
Playback
As a quick test to make sure everything is connected correctly, use the
Blackmagic test media (bars and tone) which can be found on the installer CD.
Copy a test clip, which matches the format of your project, to your disk array
e.g. NTSC 8 bit. Import this clip into your Premiere Pro® project and drop it into
the timeline. You should now see the image on both your computer desktop
and your DeckLink output. If you can’t see any video on your DeckLink output,
check the connections again and ensure you have the correct output settings
configured in both the DeckLink and Displays “control panels.”
Note:
SDI and analog outputs are always active.
Capture
To capture,
choose file -> capture
.
Short cut: F5.
To immediately capture, click the red record button [G].
If you wish to log the clip, enter the desired “in” and “out-points” using either the
“in” and “out” buttons or manually, by typing in the timecode and clicking “log”.
The empty clip will now appear in the bin window. Repeat this until you have
logged all of the clips you wish to capture in a batch.
Batch Capture
Select the clips you wish to capture by marque or shift/click.
Choose File ->
Batch capture.
To set handles on the clips go to the batch capture window
menu and type the number of additional frames you require at the top and tail of
each clip.
