I also tried this on a 2012 Macbook Pro and all the findings were exactly the same. Driver 10.4.3 is the only version that plays video in synch with ProTools 12.4 in El Capitan even though it isn't supported for El Capitan. The cropping was fixed when I switched the tv to "Screen Fit".

Also, all versions of 1080 video, no matter which codec (certainly didn't try them all but tried a few) show up on my monitor cropped when the tv is set to its default 16:9.

In a quick summation, no Blackmagic driver from 10.5 - 10.6.3 played back video in synch with audio. "I just thought I'd post this since I just went through a lengthy testing process. I had posted this in the ProTools 12 forum but it directly pertains to this thread. I go back to 10.4.1 again stable and stayed in sync for ours (i did the same test) never tried the 10.4.3.

I can state that too the newest drivers have those symptoms the high need of video offset and that weird drift that it does. I'm curious: What machine and video hardware do you use? That is, I don't expect to receive any help anyway. I'm not filing any reports to Blackmagic or Avid as my system doesn't qualify for Pro Tools 12. (checked every 5-10 minutes)Ĭonclusion: I'll stay with the 10.4.3 driver.
