Preview warning

[Edit]

Just installed Edius 7.5. When it opens, a small white box opens in lower right edge near what looks like a tiny monitor and says "Device doesn't support the current format. Switching to software mode". Any thoughts on what this means and or solutions? Thank you.

Do you have an IO card
It usually means that the project settings are not suitable and Edius goes to software mode i.e only see whats on timeline in the Edius GUI

[Edit]

John, I am a novice with many tech terms that I don't recognize. What is an IO card? Some examples might help me recognize. Thanks.

[John Lewis]

Do you have a hardware card which outputs Edius time line to a monitor
Like a Black magic Intensity or a Grass Valley Card
Check your project settings anyway

[John Lewis]

it would also help us if you can give your project settings and the clips resolution
and if its 60p 59.4i or 29.7i and field order and if its set to Upper, lower or progressive

[Edit]

I do NOT have an IO Card. I will get back to you with other settings. I have to leave now for an appointment. Thanks.

This has been discussed many times here. A search will give you the answer.

if a search finds nothing, simply untick as seen in attached, it is a useless warning

Thanks to all. Anton - That's what I needed to know. I just wanted to make sure this would not affect the production I have to deliver Tuesday. I had so many problems trying to identify why 5.51 had crashing problems that I upgraded my OS and Edius; this is first time using 7.5.
