![]() I am the Editor-in-Chief of FCP.co and have run the website since its inception ten years ago. Until the next time you forget that extra preference is there! Once you have that set, restart FCPX and the correct format should be available in the Preferences. ![]() This is the gotcha! To change the format of the output, there is a further dedicated Final Cut Pro X output setting in the Blackmagic Desktop video app. ![]() You can restart FCPX and your Mac as much as you like, it will carry on outputting 720x486. Once saved, we get graphic confirmation that the Blackmagic box should be outputting 1080p.Īll good so far. Here we have gone for 1080p at 25 frames a second. No problem, open up the Blackmagic Desktop Video app settings in System Preferences and toggle to the required format. Here you can see in FCPX that it's set to the default 720x486 setting from the Blackmagic Desktop Video app. This normally feeds a broadcast monitor for example or connects you into a larger system via an HD-SDI matrix. If you look in the FCPX Playback preferences, it will tell you the signal format that FCPX will send out of the I/O box. To get a signal through the broadcast output of Final Cut Pro X, you have to have the A/V Output toggled on. However, if you need a broadcast output from your Mac via a Blackmagic I/O box or card, then this might seem very familiar. If you only use the monitoring of your computer or headphones, then you might not come across this problem. What am I talking about? The broadcast output format selector when you configure the Blackmagic Desktop Video app to work with Final Cut Pro X. Yes I did swear, because I had the idea for writing the article the last time that it happened- and then it has happened again! So hopefully this article is a way of me getting this gotcha into my brain so I don't waste time wondering why my monitoring isn't looking the way it should. Why doesn't the selected output work with Final Cut Pro X? ![]() It struck once more! The Blackmagic/FCPX 'gotcha' that I swore I'd never be caught by again. ![]()
