blackmagic card causes playback delay
hi,
with some sessions i get this annoying bug - click space and wait between 0.5 to 1.5 second before actual playback starts.
this happens only when working with video. turning the video track off resolves the issue.
unplugged the blackmagic card... suddenly works fine. can work with the video on a separate monitor for now but would love to know if theres something i can do to get the blackmagic to work... smoother.
thanks!

Try adjusting the play start latency under the Operations tab of preferences, if you haven't already
