Adobe Premiere Pro

Adobe Premiere Pro™ is a powerful real-time video and audio non-linear editing application. Full

presets for Premiere Pro are included with DeckLink and will have been automatically loaded into

your system during the installation process. Premiere Pro must be installed on your system before

running the DeckLink installer.

Setting Up

1. Launch Premiere Pro.

2. Open a New Project

3. Select the appropriate Blackmagic preset for your project. e.g. NTSC, PAL, HDTV or 2K.

4. Type the name of your project.

5. 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 Premiere Pro test media (bars

and tone). Copy a test clip, which matches the format of your project to your disk array e.g. NTSC 8

bit. Take your media from within 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. SDI, HDMI and analog

outputs are always active.

Capture

To capture choose: File > Capture (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 batch capture.

Batch Capture

Select the clips you wish to capture by drag selecting or shift/click each clip. Then go to and 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 start and end of each clip.
