Activate recording deck automatically during print to video?

Hey all, here is my question.
Up till now I have always just prepped a file to print to video than manually started my camera or Sony deck to start recording and then clicked start on FCP and recorded the video to tape.
I have a client that now wants my video to start at EXACTLY the 60 second mark. Is there a way to set up FCP to trigger the deck to start recording as it starts playing the color bars, title, countdown etc? So that the time code on the tape starts at exactly the moment the first color bars start?
Then I can set up the color bars, title, countdown to total up to sixty seconds and have the video begin right there.
Is my question clear?
I want bar code to start at 00.00.00.00;00
and I want the final countdown to end at 00.00.00.60;00 and the video to begin. Make sense? Is there a way to get FCP to start deck recording?
Thanks in advance.

That would be Edit to Tape, not Print to Video.
No. You do NOT want timecode to start at 00:00:00:00... How will you pre-roll? One common layout is tape black starting at 58:15:00, Bars and Tone for 60 seconds, 20 seconds of black, 8 second countdown, with a 2-pop and 2 seconds of black to have program starting at exactly 01:00:00;00
Make sense?

EDIT: BTW, Edit to tape allows you to Black the tape. If using RS-422 deck control, you can set the starting timecode in the dialog. If FW, you'll have to set it in the deck...

Help with timecode and video freeze during Print to Video

This has happened twice in last couple months. Timeline is usually around 22 - 23 minutes. At some point during playback to HDV deck using Print to Video via FireWire, the timecode freezes and so does the video for approx. 2-3 seconds, then resumes on 2-3 seconds later in the timeline. Everything is still in perfect sync. Playing back the timeline on computer reveals nothing. Please, does anyone have any suggestions at all??

You should be mixing down the audio before you record to tape, try that if you haven't done it first...
If that fails, export a self contained QuickTime movie, then see if it doesn't print to video or edit to tape better.
Use the fastest drive you have for the QT movie's playback, and it should be something other than your startup disk.

Crashing during print to video

thanks

Shane's Stock Tip Mantra: If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the appropriate version of FCP Rescue at http://www.pistolerapost2.com/fcprescue and run it.
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

Trying to print to video using in and out

I am trying to print to video (Mini DV) using in and out points. It works fine when I just play through the camera and record and it will print to video when I start at the beginning, but when I place in and out points and I have set the media to print "In to Out", but it just records the black leader then stops.

For exporting, IN and OUT points must be set in the +timeline of the sequence+ you want to export: make sure the timeline is selected, but NO clip in the timeline is selected before setting the points (use ****-cmd-A to deselect all clips).
If they are properly set you'll see an highlighted area in the timeline between the IN and the OUT points.

Turn off the vibration or message notification automatically during video recording.

Please add on mechanism to turn off the vibration or mute the message notification automatically during video recording, due to the motor vibration sound always reocrd into the video.

You could set your phone to silent http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Software-Updates/Lollipop-New-Features/m-p/955490#U955490 It's not ideal but it does the trick. I agree with you, I wish we had an option that if an app/game it's on immersive mode, like while using the camera, we had an option to deactivate the notifications popping and/or the notifications without having to set the phone to silent.

HDV Print to Video - Video Doesn't Display or Record on Camera

I am editing HDV 1080i60 on FCP 5.1.3 and when I try to Print to Video, the camera screen displays "HDV in" and "i.LINK" but remains blue and does not allow me to press the record button. However, with the same camera (HDR-HC1) and using Final Cut Express I am able to print to video (although this is annoying because it has to convert to Apple Intermediate Codec).
Has anyone else had a similar problem?

OK, I have discovered the problem, and it's a doozy.
Her HDV sequence was set for 1280 X 1080, HDV 1080 Compressor, rather than 1440 X 1080. We have no clue how that happened, but it did.
Here's what I had her do last night when she was creating it: She changed the Easy Setup to HDV 1080i60, then created a new sequence. Then she went to the original DVCPRO HD sequence and did a Command-C to copy, then back to the new HDV 1080i60 sequence and Command-V to paste.
This morning, after I discovered the 1280 problem, I did the exact same steps and the new sequence was 1440 X 1080 HDV. I called her and had her do the exact same thing again, and now that new sequence is 1440 X 1080 HDV.
She is now rendering and conforming. I had her make sure ALL of the render bars were checked in Sequence > Render All, and that she chose Both audio and video. This should do it.
Now, the really tough part. I've got to re-read the thread and choose only two Helpful posts. Why can't we have as many as we need??????

Is it possible to have the loudspeaker activate automatically during voice call?

When answering and making voice calls, is it possible to have the loudspeaker activate automatically during the voice call? Is there any settings on the device which can be changed for this to happen?

Thanks cor-el! I had tried that out, but was turned off by the different workflow (can't click Tab to select the address suggestions) and assumed by the look that I couldn't use my Smart Keywords for searches.
In fact, the workflow isn't that much bulkier and the Location Bar is fully functional:
* ''for a search: Ctrl+L, (Smart Keyword +) [search terms], Enter''
* ''for a suggested address: Ctrl+L, Down, Enter, Enter''
Still, it would be nice in future versions if:
# the Location Bar could automatically open when opening a (blank) new tab (just as the cursor automatically goes to the Location Bar when a new tab is opened with the Navigation Toolbar showing) to avoid the Ctrl+L step of the workflow
# the Tab, Enter workflow could be enabled for selecting address suggestions in the pop-up Location Bar
Or (most simply in my mind):
if '''the Navigation Toolbar could be set to show when a (blank) new tab is opened and disappear once an address/search is selected'''.

Unable to recognize deck when printing to video (fcp 6.0.5)

I am driving myself absolutely crazy trying to figure this one out. I found a previous thread discussing the same problem (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8602649) but nothing has worked.
My footage was shot using a Sony HVR-V1U. I captured using the ProRes 422 codec. My audio video settings are set with the following...
sequence preset: Apple Pro Res 422 1440 x 1080 60i 48khz
capture preset: Apple Pro Res 422
device control preset: sony firewire hdv
When click on the A/V tab, different output for edit to tape/print to video is selected:
video: [Missing] HDV 1440 x 1080 60i
audio: default
Im not sure why the missing is there. My firewire port is working and i can capture without a problem.
I've tried trashing the prefs and am at a loss. This problem may have an easy solution and really hope someone can help!
Thanks!

Sorry to say, these days that machine is marginal, and HDV is processor intensive. I hate that darned codec already.
Just for laughs, capture one clip as prores and see if you can recreate the behaviour. It might behoove you to re-ingest your footage if you haven't gotten too far along.

How do I link manufacturing label designed in wwi to print automatically during the time of goods receipts from the production

Hello
Is there any way to link label to print automatically from the printer at the time of TECO ,Goods receipts from production and PGI at the time of delivery to the customers .
Regards,
M D

Hi !
GLM supports Automatic Label Print requests & Automatic Label Printing(immediately after generation of automatic print requests). But this is limited to Delivery order, Process Order & Handling Unit as standard. For other scenarios, you will have to customize.
Automatic Print Request Generation - Global Label Management (EHS-SAF-GLM) - SAP Library

But this is possible with "Enhanced" GLM. It's better explained here,

Can Print to Video HDV sequence

Hello, I am trying to export an HDV sequence to a miniDV tape for broadcast. I am using a Sony GV-HD700 tape deck. I am using Print to Video and it just wont work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I am having this same problem, and need help urgently. Does anyone know how to resolve this? I can control the deck through FCP and the FireWire cable, and can even initiate automatic recording from FCP, but once it starts playing the content the deck freezes and does not actually record anything.

Help with print to video

have canon xl2, Mac os x 10, Fcp 5 and trying to print to video. there is no video only audio. We have done a trash of qt files and reinstalled, repaired disk permissions and rebooted and used firewire basic ntsc setting and enabled all frames for external video and still the only thing are getting is audio. We can scrub thru the timeline and it shows but if print or play no video
This is for a film festival and is due in 1 week for final trasfer to beta, please save our production!!!!
Thanks,
Holly from SLC

Turn everything off.
Turn your camera on to VCR mode, load your tape.
Now power up your mac, and launch FCP.
Close any projects that open with it.
Choose the DV NTSC (or PAL if you're overseas) Easy Setup from the FCP menu.
Open your project, and activate the timeline window that contains your edited, rendered sequence.
Now, in the View menu, set external video to OFF. (This may be the fix for you)
Go to Print To Video in the File menu, and set your slate, black, etc.
The XL2 may or may not work with the Start Recording Automatically box checked; you can try it with or without.
Hit OK in the Print to Video window.
If you did all these things in the exact above order, your camera should kick in and start recording.

Print to Video help please

I am getting audio recorded to my deck but no Video.
Any ideas what to do?
Thanks much!

Thanks, my first post.
OK, the deck is a Sony DVCAM.
I am using Final Cut Express on a MacBookPro 10.4.11
I have a firewire cable connecting the two. (I also tried using my Panasonic DVX 100B camera with the same result - audio but no video).
I chose Refresh Video Devices
Clicked on the timeline, then Print to video.
I gave it 6 seconds of color bars, then when it said it was 'ready, I hit return and the deck began to record.
I cannot see any video on my monitor, (or int he camera screen), but I do see the audio meters moving. During playback the audio is there but no video.
Thanks for any help/suggestions. Very much appreciated.

Video captures but won't dub or print to video

I am using Final Cut Pro 5.1. Capturing video works perfectly, but when I try to dub onto tape or print to video, all I get is black. What's really odd is that when I print to video and check "Automatically start recording," the DV deck DOES automatically start recording, but then the video will play on the computer's screen and not the monitor for the tape deck. Also, video and audio should be coming through the monitor while I am editing, but that isn't working either.
I have refreshed A/V devices, quit FCP and started the program again, and "All Frames" is checked under View->External Video.
One more qualifier. The last time I used this deck was in early December (and it worked perfectly). A week later, it wasn't communicating with the computer at all and I thought it would have to be replaced. I went on vacation and came back and now it's working again (but with the problem I just described above).
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Fixed it myself. The DV deck was on the wrong channel.

FCE2 print to video problem-no signal

I have a very simple 1 minute video from timeline I'd like to export to VHS for presentation, I tried many different permutations, and discovered along the way that Easy Setup must be config'ed for DV-Firewire but to the best that I can tell, I am unable to print to video. I have a 1 minute timline, firewire to a Formac converter box as a bridge and Composite cables set to OUT and IN to my VCR. No signal gets through. Initially FCE kept telling me the VCR was "write protected" even tough the tapes were not. I deselected "Automatically Start Recording" and at first it played complete with sound, but switching to Firewire setting, sound is silent, but I still see the video playback. (But switching back to Real Time in the top left of timeline, I got my sound back.) But later, after Easy Setup to Firewire Basic (or should that be DV Converter? I tried both to no avail), I simply get a "blue screen" on VHS when attempting to Print to Video. I will have to come up with an alternate solution for now.
I wonder if the difficulty is simply the VCR channel? I know the Line 1 + 2 on my other VCR and even tried connecting there, but nothing. The current VHS deck has "no channels" set as it's a standalone box used only for video capturing (the other direction).
I SUCCEEDED months ago but that was with a Sony Handycam. I'm trying to remember if I ever succeeded with this configuration. If anyone can assist, appreciated. The key question is: What settings should there be, and what should I be looking for? I do have the FCE manual and reading that is very basic.

I have to go further, but yes! I needed that prodding to confirm that there's nothing functionally wrong with the FCE setup. I connected the composite to my big tv stretching waay across, and it PLAYED the timeline in TV's INPUT 3, and I have 2 VCRs connected there, but figuring out how to get the VCRs to see the signal I have to work on. This has to do with LINE IMHO, there's one VCR that "understands" line even tho all 3 are same Panasonic brand.. (!?!) this is on a big JVC. I will now attempt to hook up the composite directly to the one VCR and select "Line" channel and then crossed fingers that it sees the firewire. When using Input 3 on TV, it starts out as PINK screen.

Problem with Print to Video in FCP 6.0

In the past I have been able to print to video with FCP 5, now not working with FCP 6. My Sony HVR A1U is seen by FCP, I can log & capture no problem. When I go to print to video, the sequence does not show up on my camera LCD and I cannot capture it. I have checked the system profiler and under firewire the camera is listed. In the print to video window I have checked Automatically Start Recording, but this has no effect.
Thank you for your advice

Just curious. How do you get your computer too see the HVR. I am using I movie HD and it does not see anything. Is there a camera setup procedure? I looked at the vague manual which was no help.
Thanks in Advance
Thom
