Edius Suddenly Acting Bizarre -- Jerky Playback in Overlay and Audio Drift

[OneQuickSix]

how are you listening to sound? via motherboard green speaker connector? or via HDMI on the connected TV?<snip>

I am listening via both (not simultaneously of course) analog outputs from the soundboard (motherboard), and also the digital optical output. No, never use audio over HDMI. Don't believe I even have the drivers installed for audio over the HDMI.

Also, I almost always use 48khz 16-bit WAV audio exclusively. I HAVE used MP3's for music before, but never experienced an issue. But all these projects are the former.

This is the first time I see someone calling the bull by its name !
I have asked this question on several fora,and never gave me a direct answer !
To me this is unknown material ( the card ) is the connection by SDI or Thunderbolt or display port or .... ?
Do You have a brand in mind,or can You recommend one ?
Thx
Edd

Before this problem, I did not have any issues, even with HDMI ... but I just ordered a Blackmagic DeckLink Mini Monitor, there under $150, and (correct me if I am wrong Anton, et al.) should suffice. Obviously it will depend on your needs, but I think this will at the very least allow me to circumvent this issue until I have the time to figure out what is causing it.

Did you order the Mini Monitor or Mini Monitor 4K? They are two different animals.

[OneQuickSix]

Jerry, I did not order the 4K because I seldom work with 4k. Well, I seldom OUTPUT to 4k -- I do use 2K and 4K in 1080P projects for the creative abilities that allows. Also, my monitor does not support 4k, so it is overkill. On the rare occasions I do work in 4K or 2K, it is usually all VFX or mograph work, so I am almost exclusively in After Effects.

BM is the only card for use with Resolve. BM cards will work on Resolve, Premiere, AE, and Edius.

Yeah, they seem pretty great. I use all of those (although rarely Premiere), so excellent.

I'm sorry for the length of this post.


Deciding what card to buy depends on a several things.

Thx Jerry,this will be something for under the christmas tree :)

First of all : a healthy and happy new year to all !

Going further in this topic,Santa is being good to me and and new monitor is coming,bud reading reply's from You all ;I'm installing it with a dedicated video card : Blackmagic Design Decklink mini monitor 4K,and a 27" 4K monitor.
Will this work together with a 23" HD monitor ( or a second same 27" 4K monitor) connected on the GPU from the mainboard, and with the benefits of Quick sync ?

I monitor the audio off the Decklink card via the HDMI with an HDMI input/output A/V amplifier.

All TV panels have a video processing delay and they internally delay the audio to match the video display.

So the sound out from the TV either optical or headphone socket, will always be in sync with the audio, and there is usually a menu setting to increase the delay if needed. A/V amplifiers also have an audio delay setting, so they can be matched to the TV.

Pretty much everything is relying on HDMI now: multi channel audio, DTS, True HD and Dolby Atmos so is the way of the future.

Most TV panels also have some sort of smooth motion built in, with a dedicated menu setting item for it, as a train going past the camera for instance, at high speed shot at 23.98, 24p, 25p or 29.97 looks jumpy or not smooth. (I note that the film people like it like that). This can be smoothed out but it needs to compromise between blurring on movement and clarity hence the adjustment setting.

Computer monitors don't generally have motion smoothing so they automatically look less fluid excepting as already pointed out that they usually are running at 60p so any frame rate other than 60p will be a compromise on motion especially on camera pans.

My motherboard has the possibility of HDMI , Display port , USB-C or Thunderbolt (on board ).
Since I'm looking for a new monitor (2 ) preferably 27"4K or WQHD.
What would be my best choice of connection ?
Thunderbolt is the fastest data transfer,bud will Edius support it ? can't find anything about it

[antonsvideo]

I would advice against 4k mon for PC use, lots of software does not scale well when you increase desktop font from the default of 100% and you must otherwise you can't read any text

I would advice to get 2 Dell 27" 2560x1440 and they work fine at 100% scaling

Anton
I read Your'e advice before and I think I'm gone follow it.
I already had my eyes on the Dell monitors,any particular model ? the UP2716D looks to me a good choice.
Have You experience with thunderbolt connection,do You think it's worth going that way,Dell is coming with a model that has that connection ?
Bud I can't find any reference with Edius,would it mean it isn't supported ?

[antonsvideo]

forget Thunderbolt, use Display Port with Dell

Dell UltraSharp 27 Monitor: U2719D or U2716D

[BernH]

forget Thunderbolt

Agreed. Thunderbolt support in the PC world is generally not great. It's more of an Apple thing.

[Jerry]

That should change with Tiger Lake and TB4.
Thunderbolt is slated to be on chip.
