Premiere source window - audio drop outs with Mini Monitor

PostThu Aug 30, 2018 3:35 pm

I've seen this post pop up once or twice in the forums, but haven't seen any resolution.

I have Premiere Pro on a MacPro, with a Blackmagic Mini Monitor. Output and sync seem fine on normal playback, but when I open an audio file into the source monitor and / or switch from that to the timeline, the blackmagic loses sync, picture drops out, audio drops out, the speakers pop a few times, and after about 3-4 seconds, it comes back. Obviously, this is very annoying when I'm trying to work quickly.

This doesn't happen when I have footage in the source monitor, just audio clips. So editing with music and sound effects is a nightmare. Must be something with the audio file in premiere not sending the same signal to the mini monitor.

Avid / Resolve / FCP don't have this issue at all, so it seems it's something Premiere is doing with it's output, but when I turn off Mercury Transmit, everything works the way it should, just without the external monitor. Curious if this would be resolved with a newer blackmagic output device, or if this is strictly a Premiere issue.

Thanks!

I also have this issue. The "mini monitor" clicks and snaps with native OSX programs as well (browser, etc)
