That - mark it, then CTRL + ALT + c - was a piece of wisdom, amongst so many, echoing down the years, from the late great Larry Rubin. And in 30 years of using Avid, it's a new one on me. I remember him well here and it was only yesterday, I lost a very dear American friend of mine. It's funny this should come up now. RIP and thanks Larry.

[quote user="Robert Martindale"] just testing......the 12.4 version did not help with 2022.12 so i rolled them both back...happy editor now and will wait to hear what BM and AVID do to fix this going forward...... [/quote] As I said, simply rolling back to 12.4 will not fix the issue, if you had already installed 12.4.1 or 12.4.2. You have

[quote user="Robert Martindale"] ROLLING AVID BACK TO 2020.12, USING V 11.4 OF DECKLINK DID GET THE MONITOR BACK [/quote] Is there a particular reason you need to use an old version? The problem is that the latest versions have changed the naming cconvention of the driver folders, used by Avid. Upto 12.4, this is not the case, but if you roll

[quote user="AndrewAction"]I moved the file as Mercer suggested but nothing changed UNTIL I restarted MC. Then everything returned to working normally.[/quote] Just to clarify, Andrew. My intial advice was wrong. BMD stated that 12.4.2 has corrected the error of 12.4.1 for both Avid and Premiere. This is not the case as I discovered, at least

Yes Jeroen. Once IBM dominated the personal computer market - they no longer do; Once over 50% of all cars on the world's roads were Ford - they no longer are; Before Arri, Red and Sony Venice, just about every major feature film was shot in Panavision, they no longer are. No dominant player in a market can assume things will go on forever, as they

Thanks Mtahir, useful to know but I think I will stick with 12.4 for now, since there is nothing that later versions add to my BMD device.

[quote user="Jeroen van Eekeres"]While the above might be true, the impunity is not what I perceive. The broadcast market is just as affected and unhappy with these developments. You could, as they use many more products than Media Composer, even argue they are affected more due to all the compatibility/integration issues.[/quote] It's

[quote user="mtahir"]I'm using 12.4.2. I create a soft link called 'Desktop Video' which links to 'Blackmagic Desktop Video' folder that gets around the problem.[/quote] What is the 'soft link' trick you used, Mtahir?

There is no doubt that the move to subscription brought stability and profitability to Avid in the short term. But if that model is not accompanied by sustained reliable development and customer satisfaction (I give you Titler + and Symphony) with useful new features, it may not prove good for them in the long term. If you do study the financials of
