Re: Will "Intensity Pro Shuttle USB 3.0" answer my need?

Adam,

I answered your question in an older thread a few hours ago, but in case you didn't see the answer:

The Shuttle works well for me to get After Effects (and Premiere) out to an NTSC video monitor. Note that it only outputs the main window. Color Finesse and other add-ons that have their own 'monitor window' still need to be viewed on the PC monitor.

When you are comparing costs, remember that the standalone Shuttle is connected via USB3 - unless you have a very current computer you'll also need to purchase a USB3 card. The recommended card is not very expensive, but it will use up one more slot in your PC.

BM's software seems picky about which card it will work with. I had to use an older version of Black Magic's software to get the Shuttle to work. ...and BM wasn't very helpful telling me about the workaround on the phone. We still use the Shuttle for analog video capture, but I've gone back to an old firewire box for video-out because the Shuttle does not seem to output from Photoshop.

It still surprizes me that almost every analog video-out/in device I have used is so fussy to get working consistently. It might have been understandable in the late '90s, but seems like things should work better by now. (sigh)
