Export to tape hassles in CS4, command sorta loops???

I have a SONY HVR-M15AU HDV deck which I have captured HDV footage from with no problem. I have an edited timeline sequence which I want to export to tape. I get the "Export to HDV" window OK, but when I hit "render and record" the "transcoding to HDV" window opens for only a split second before reverting back to the "Export To HDV" window. I cannot seem to break this loop. I have tried many settings but nothing seems to work. I can export to Encore and burn a BluRay disc fine. The "Export To Tape" button is NOT grayed out, and I cannot record on the deck manually either as I cannot see any video feeding back to the deck. I REALLY NEED to export back to tape. Any suggestions???

I have just posted similar problems.
i can click on Timeline/sequence...
File...
Export to tape...
Device control.. says ready and when attempt to do it it says recording, but camera screen is blue..
It renders my hour film in 3 minutes...looks like it is all go...but blue screen on c
on my second attempt audio came through but nothing else..
so not much help to you i guess, but lets hope one of these wonderful people can put us on the right track.

Export to tape

Hei!
Another question, though maybe it's not the case for adobe premiere, but..
Is it possible also to export to tape without usind a command "export to tape", just pressing enter?
I know, it is possible, if one can through connection see the picture on monitor, but right now I see it only when I use command "export to tape".
Should I check the connection again? (computer>matrox box>DVCAM via firewire>betacam and monitor), or I hava to find it in adobe itself...
(Working on adobe premiere pro cs3)
Thanks..

Playback the timeline and hit record on the vcr/camcorder to record on the fly.

Can't export to tape on Premier Pro CS4 Extended

When I attempt to export to tape from Premier Pro CS4 Extended, version 4.1.0, to a DV Cam, the tape rolls and records (with device control) but I get no video or audio.
I have:
-selected the timeline for the sequence
-the work area bar is over the entire sequence
-I’ve made sure the tape is record enabled
-I have tried two DV cameras, and three fire wire cords
-I am able to capture video into the computer using all of the above
-I’ve tried moving my project from my external hard drive to my internal one
Still no export…….
Any ideas why?
-I am using a Dell computer with:
            - Windows XP Professional 2002 Service pack 3
            - Intel[R] Core [TM]2 Quad CPU
            -Q9450 @ 2.66JHz
            -2/66 GHz, 3.25 GB of RAM
            -Physical Address Extension
            -Unfortunately I can not find the name of my video card but this computer was built specifically to edit video so I am sure it has one.

Make sure External Device under Export is enabled in the Playback Settings of the Program monitor.

Cannot export to tape from CS4

I have PPro CS4 connected by firewire to either a Canon HV 30 MiniDV camera or a Sony GV-D1000 Mini DV deck. (I've tried both).
I am trying to export my project to MiniDV tape. I have succeeded in the past but for some reason now can't do it.
I select "Export to tape" in PPro and all seem to go smoothly, the device being controlled from the PPro device controller and the tape starting to roll. It's just that no image appears in the screen on the HV30 or GV-D1000, and nothing is recorded. I am following the instructions for each device regarding recording via this method. It just seems no data is being sent from the PC to the device.
Options in Edit - Preferences - Device Control are set for the approrpriate PAL system and device.
I can record from the device onto my PC using the same firewire port and cable.
I'm using Windows 7.
12Gb RAM
i7 chip
ATI Radeon HD5870 graphics card
Can anyone help, please?

Thanks again, Ann, but as mentioned in my "Dropping frames during capture" thread, this has already been tried and failed.
The following things have been tried and have all failed to prevent, roughly every minute or so during capture or export, two or three seconds of interference which results in lots of dropped frames during capture or a blank screen during export:
Different firewire cables
Different programs: PPro CS4; Pr Elements 9, Windows Live Movie Maker
Capturing to different hard discs
Capturing to external hard disc
Closing every non-essential process
Detaching every non-essential peripheral
Switching off all other electronic devices in that part of the house, phone included
Capturing from/exporting to different devices from different makers
Changing the firewire driver
I think it's either the firewire driver on Windows 64 bit, (althouhg I've treid changing it) or a problem with the graphics card.
The firewire slot is not in a card by itself, but part of a panel of many slots and plugholes at the back of my PC - USBs, minijacks, firewire etc I have no further slots available for a separate firewire card.
The only solution I can see is to save the project as a huge AVI file, transfer that to my lap top, make a movie out of it with Windows Live Movie Maker, and export from there.

CS3 Exporting to tape HELP!

Hi! I am using Premiere CS3 on Windows XP. I have a Panasonic mini DV camcorder plugged in. I am trying desperately to work out how to export my project to tape. I have the settings okay. I set the 'Assemble at timecode' to 10 seconds. I had recorded 30 seconds of black onto the tape previously. When I click
on 'Record', the camcorder gets itself to 10 seconds, frame by frame, and then stops- and I get a message of 'Recording Failed'.
I've tried it having the camcorder playing and on pause, and also stopped, but on playback setting.
What am I doing wrong?!
PRIZE for anyone who can fix this for me!!!

nope. sorry. to be honest I sorta think I recall that exporting to tape isnt a happening thing with premiere cs3...like it doesnt actually do that...but my memory is not so great as I am losing brain cell function on a regular basis.
is lemonbaden in any way related to baden baden ?.. a great great grandfather came from there ( baden baden ).
though I can't imagine what lemons might have to do with badens.

Export To Flash in Encore CS4 on the Mac

It has been widely reported (and I have confirmed) that Encore CS3 will not Build to Flash on a Mac running Leopard 10.5.5 and Quicktime 7.5.5 (the latest versions of Mac OS X and Quicktime). I would be most appreciative if anyone who has received Encore CS4 can determine if Build To Flash works on a Mac running OS 10.5.5 and Quicktime 7.5.5.
Thank you in advance for responding.
Tom

Since no one has responded to my post on this issue, I can now provide the answer. First however, I want to insert the final comment in a long customer service request that I have had running with Adobe Technical Support since early August on this issue.
"Monday, October 20, 2008 1:59:20 PM PDT
Hello Tom,
Thank you for contacting Adobe® Web Support for assistance with Adobe
Encore® CS3.
I understand that you are not able to export as flash from Encore CS3.
On my Mac, I have OS 10.5.5, and QuickTime 7.5.5. I tested this issue
with Encore CS3 and CS4. The export worked just fine on CS4, but again
failed on CS3. I spoke with Adam, and a few others around, and were not
quite sure why he was able to get this to work. I am 100% certain that
using the same workflow, his Mac is able to handle this process, but
none of the others I was able to try this on could. As far as I am
concerned, his ability to perform this export is a fluke, and cannot be
reproduced through known methods.
However, the issue is resolved in the CS4 release, so you should be all
set to do your flash exports once you get your upgrade.
I hope this information helps to resolve your issue. If you require
further assistance with this issue, please update your web case with
complete details, including what steps you have applied and any error
messages you are receiving.
You may also call Technical Support at (800) 642-3623. We are available
from 6:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday - Friday, Pacific Time.
Kind regards,
Joshua E.

Now let me post my response:
"Thursday, October 23, 2008 12:40:06 PM PDT
Joshua E.,
Thank you for your clear response to the issue of not being able to Build to Flash using Encore CS3. I can confirm the 100% accuracy
of everything you have said by adding my own experiences of the last 48 hours with Adobe Production Premium CS3 and CS4.
Two days ago I purchased the new Macbook Pro (Intel 2.53 GHz, 4 GB RAM). Immediately after setting up the Macbook Pro and getting i
t operating, I installed Adobe Production Premium CS3 (and all updates to CS3 Production Premium) on this brand new Macbook Pro. No
other software outside of the Mac OS 10.5.5 (and all updates to it) had been installed on this Macbook Pro. I then opened Premiere
CS3, placed 10 seconds of bars and tone in the timeline, and directly exported this to Encore CS3. I then selected Build To Flash.
Once again Encore CS3 froze at the "transcoding video" step and would not progress beyond 20%. This is the exact same behavior I
had on my Mac Pro 8-core machine and reported in this thread.
I then installed Adobe Production Premium CS4 on my Mac Pro 8-core. I followed the above step with the exception that apparently di
rect export from Premiere Pro CS4 to Encore CS4 is no longer available. I simple exported the Premiere Pro 10 second timeline to a
Quicktime .mov file using the Export>Media command in Premiere Pro CS4. I then took this .mov file into Encore CS4 and without bui
lding any menus, selected Build To Flash. The Build to Flash occurred perfectly with no problems at the "transcoding video" step or
any other step.
Needless to say, I am very pleased to see that Adobe has corrected the problems with Build to Flash in CS4 on a Mac. However, this
problem had been well reported in numerous forums (including the Adobe Encore Forum) on the web as far back as six months ago, and
I am saddened to see that Adobe did not feel it was worth the effort to repair the issue with Build To Flash in CS3 on a Mac that w
as apparently caused by an upgrade to Quicktime that Apple released sometime after Quicktime 7.3.1. I cannot expect Apple to addres
s issues with Adobe software caused by their Quicktime upgrades. I do, however, expect Adobe to see that their software runs on the
latest editions of both Mac OS X and Quicktime. Otherwise, as happened with Encore CS3 and Build to Flash on a Mac, the customer bu
ys the software expecting it to work and it does not. We are in a tough economy now. I need the software from Adobe that supports
my media production company to work, and I don't need Apple and Adobe pointing the finger at each other when it does not. I hope th
at you will pass this message along to senior Adobe management.
I do thank you for telling me your observations on Build To Flash with a Mac under Encore CS3.

AUDIO PROBLEMS when exporting to tape

Hi!
ADOBE PRO CS4 on VISTA.
a) Produced my film on timeline and there everything is perfect. Audio and video are fully synchronised.
However: when I export to tape, playing the exportresult, audio comes about 10 seconds later then the corresponding video! Already from the very first clip!
I rerenderd audio and Work area a few times and also tried Clip -> Audio Options-> Render and Replace but nothing seems to work out.
This is the second time I have this problem.
b) When there is no solution for this problem ( an awfull idea!!) I think I have to Unlink Video and Audio for all my clips (about a thousand of them) and then shift the audiopart about 10 seconds to the left.
I found out that "group-unlink" with the help of the ALT knob (an advice I read about here) doesn't function with me !!
Is there a solution for these problems? Thanks a lot!

Exporting to tape and capturing

I notice that premiere pro cs4 when i am capturing 2 hours video or exporting to tape, freeze often.
i open my task manager and i saw that memory is always increasing (consuming 3,4 gb, when exporting 1 hour and ten minutes) so i have only 2 gb of ram, when it passes the limit, it stop responding.
if it is a short clip and dont pass the 2 gb limit, it´s ok. I dont know where is the problem, in PP CS3 no problem...
I forgot...
My system is Core duo e 8200
2 hard drives 7.200 rpm
windows xp 32 bit
thanks

Actually, I think that it might be the other way around. We understand your post, but I do not think that you understand Harm's. What he has provided are several articles on troubleshooting, that will either fix your situation, or will rule out certain things as the likely causes. At the bottom of the article linked to, you have a list of questions. It is the answers to these, plus what you tried from the troubleshooting guides, and the results, that will help us understand your problem better. It's the "problem," and not the post, that we need an understanding of.
With 2GB of RAM, and you observing a "ceiling" on RAM use, the first thing that I'd do would be to go to 4GB. RAM is cheap. You will want to match your existing RAM in every aspect, to the new RAM. If this is not possible, because of availability, or how your MoBo's memory slots are configured, then just go with 4GB of new RAM. You will not quite be able to use 100% of that 4GB, but enough that it could make a difference.
Good luck, and please report back with the answers to the 16 questions, plus what helped, or did not help, from the troubleshooting articles.

Exporting to tape PAL problem

Hi all.
I am trying to export a timeline to tape from premiere pro CS4 to my Canon XL-2 camera.
The timeline settings are DV PAL, 25 fps, 16:9 aspect ratio, lower field first. I live in Australia and therefore have a PAL camera.
These are the settings that I used when using CS3 and exporting to tape was fine. The export process seems to run fine but when I review the tape there is nothing but black.
Premiere pro can control and capture from my camera fine, but when I try exporting it seems to show that it is working but results in nothing being taped.
I am running windows vista 64 bit, 4GB ram with a q6600 processor.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards.

PROBLEM RESOLVED:
By fiddling with the device control properties the problem was resolved. Though I am not sure which setting corrected the problem, it may have been changing the device type from generic to canon XL1S (which is very similar to the XL-2).

Premiere will not export to tape - video freezes

     I'm sort of revisiting a problem I thought I solved. Initially I had issues with playback in my source and program monitors. I would hit play and it would roll the video for about two seconds then freeze (the audio would continue).
     I found that only when I had my DV device (sony PD-170 or Sony DSR-11) hooked up to the computer, it would do this. But when I pulled the firewire from my device it would no longer freeze and I could go on with my editing.
     I thought, okay, I'll just capture the footage then pull the device. That's worked up until I realized that it does the same thing if I want to export to tape. It will not play the video in the program monitor so my recording device records nothing at all.
     Any ideas on why this happens only when my DV device is hooked up to the computer?

I'm with Jim. Works for me.
Another alternate is CyberLink Power Director (not freeware), that also does a good job with all SD material to my Canons.
Sorry that I do not have a direct answer for you,

Export to tape distortion

Hi ~
I'm exporting to tape a standard DV sequence in PPro CS4. At several light to dark edits, the video whips slightly, as if it were losing tracking or sync. But I've only seen this on my CRT editing monitors, not LCDs.
I'll be sending the videotape to be closed-captioned, and then it will be broadcast locally - so I'm trying to determine if there's actually a problem that will be seen on CRT television, or if it's just a problem with this CRT (I don't have any other CRTs to try out) This glitch is apparent while recording on the videotape, and also when playing the videotape back.
The video levels are below 100. I tried adding the Broadcast Colors filter just in case, but it didn't help.
Any suggestions?
thanks
Bob

I was thinking there might be something wrong with my video signal - and in searching for answers, I found the Video Limiter filter in PPro - which lets you set a clipper for the min and max chroma levels (-20 and +120 respectivly), and also for the lum levels (0 to 100).
so now that I'm sure that my video is legal, I feel better about the glitch being caused by the monitor - and not a problem with tracking or illegal black levels messing with the sync.

Export to tape stops unexpectedly

Hello,
I am trying to Export to Tape from CS4 to a Sony DSR-1500AP deck. It starts fine, but after about 5 minutes (a different point on each occasion) everything just stops.
This happens in DV and DVCAM projects.
I would be extremely grateful for any assistance!
Thanks
Robin

We have the same deck but had a similar issue with our DSR-11 on show site. Our export would stop recording "Export to Tape" at the exact place (as indicated by the CTI) every time. Very frustrating. It turned out in our case that the problem related to an NTSC Widescreen *.avi file that was created on a Mac using Boot Camp. Are there any suspect files in your project? I solved the issue on an earlier version of Premiere (not CS4) by bringing this file (where the tape stopped) into an new project and exporting it as a Microsoft AVI as opposed to a DV AVI. Once I replaced the file on the timeline with my new exported version, the export to tape went without a hitch.

"export to tape" is not active

I have Premiere Pro CS4 on a windows vista system and on a xp system and I have the same problem on the 2 laptops.
I can't get to export to tape. My sequence is active but the "export to tape" shows up in grey and I can't activate it. Couldn't fine any help online either.
Hope you can help me !
Thanks,
Alex.

One last stupid question: you do have a blank tape, or a tape with adequate room cued up, don't you?
That's about all that I can think of, but I'm sure that others will have just the info that you need.
Good luck,
Hunt

Help - How to export to tape?

A little background.....I used to a lot of work in iMovie6 HD. When I bought my Mac with iMovie 08, I hated it, so I downloaded iMovie6 again. I then bought Final Cut Express, which is wonderful, but too complex for me. Recently, largely for image stabilization and themes, I bought iMovie 09. I currently use a Sony MiniDV camcorder, which I love.
I'm a young parent with very limited time to edit - so I would now like to do most of my work in iMovie 09 - despite its shortcomings. But when my projects are completed, I would like to export them back to my DV tapes for a good, non hard drive backup. This is also the easiest way to play them on my plasma & saves me having to burn a dvd. Of course, it appears that iMovie 09 does not support this feature.
So what is the best way for me to export to tape from iMovie 09 projects with the smallest amount of quality loss. I imagine I can export it to either FCE or iMovie6 - but am not sure what is best. I also am not up to snuff on settings and how to do it if I do it via quicktime, etc. Any thoughts on the best way to do this would be great.
MANY THANKS!
jake

Hi(Bonjour)!
I would go with the import of your iMovie 9 project into FCE 4.
See this tutorial:
http://movies.apple.com/movies/us/apple/finalcutexpress/2007/finalcutexpresstutorial_importfromimovier640-10cie.mov
Once converted into FCE, use the print to tape command.
I don't think that iMovie HD 6 could open iMovie 9 project, but you can ask on iMovie 9 Forum.
