Export to Tape (Serial) With 708 Captions

Hi there,
I am using blackmagic Decklink card to output video to a sony HDCAM machine. The recording must have 708 captioning. I have including a MacCaption (MCC) file on the sequence timeline. According to the MacCatpion site this is required for 708 captioning. In the program monitor I have it set to 708 Captionin and everything displays correctly. Upon export to tape there are no visible captions in the SDI output of the Black Magic Decklink card (this is verified using a tektronix scope)
Is there anyone that has succesfully exported 708 captioning to tape?
Thanks in advance

Were you able to get this resolved? I am having a similar issue. Though I have explored a few other scenarios.
I embedded .mov ProRes HD file with captions and brought it into Premiere with the same results of the 708 don't show up on playback and output via our HD-SDI caption encoder box. Though the one result that did allow for me to output correct captions on 608/708 was when I digitized show that has embedded captions. I put the digitized file in the timeline and output that, and the captions came through. The issue seems to be with both:
1. Embedding an mov with DTV 608/708 and outputting via HD-SDI
2. Using an MCC file in the timeline to output to tape via HD-SDI
I have used both Blackmagic extreme 3d and AJA ioXT with VANC turned on with both, and both don't output 708. For clarification the 608 shows up fine when I output, but the 708 are garbled and don't output to tape.

When exporting 708 captions from Premiere Pro CC I only see the first 708 caption. Help?

Hi, our company just switched from Final Cut Pro 7 to Premiere Pro CC and we went from macs to PCs. I use the CaptionMaker program to create .mcc 608/708 caption files that I import into premiere, and I'm having a problem with the 708 captions. I embed the 708 captions in an mxf op1a file (I'm attaching a screen grab of my sequence and export settings) that I then copy to an XDCam disc, but when I play the disc back and check captions through our QC monitor I only see the first 708 caption and then the rest never appear. The 608 captions are there, but just the first 708 shows up. I've also had this problem when I print to video and when I create the captions in premiere instead of importing a caption file from CaptionMaker. And I was able to see 708 captions on a source that was captioned out of house so I know my QC monitor is working properly. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions for me to try? Thanks for your time.

I am not sure what product the dubbing house is using to master the tape. I will try to find out. As far as the file creation, I am using MacCaption to create the 608 & 708 .mcc file. Bringing this in to Premiere and exporting out the MXF file. I have contacted Telestream, the owner of MacCaption, there head of support says that other customers have had the same problem exporting out of Premiere. They have tested caption files and the files are fine that this is a problem in Premiere.

Trouble with new Sony Z5U exporting to tape

I am using Premiere Pro CS3. Just purchased the New Sony Camcorder Model Z5U. Tried to export to tape and Premiere doesn't want to cooperate. Anyone having the same problem and if so, any fixes that you might have run across???

I exported the same project to a JVC model HR-DVS2 tape deck and it recorded it. I also have to confess that I am new to CS3. Not to Premiere. I have avoided using CS3 because I have not taken the time to learn it. I work with TV production and the timing has forced me to use old reliable 6.5. I guess I am getting too old to learn. I am having fits with CS3 because I didn't take the time to work with any of the Pro series. Have them all but didn't use them. First version crashed on me in a hurryup project so I gave up on it. I used to be able to figure these issues out on my own...now I'm lost.

Problem with embedded captions in quicktime export

Hi,
I'm trying to add embedded closed captions to a video. I just installed the latest version of Premiere Pro yesterday on my Mac. Should be simple, but alas!
I have this 3 minute video file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5t9s1kgpa8s3f76/Revver%20Introduction-1080p.mp4
To which I added this .scc caption file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2ickt0al7v6ggb2/rev3.scc
Things look great in the Premiere preview pane: http://screencast.com/t/HFZLVj6OX
But when I export as a quicktime video with embedded captions, I get a garbage output: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j3bmcx9yk5uuhy0/Revver%20Introduction-1080p-CC.mov
The closed captions display way more rapidly than they do in the Premiere preview pane. I didn't mess with any of the export settings - here's what I selected to get the export: http://screencast.com/t/dgx8a4v5sl7
What's going on? Why is this not working?
Rory

Wow that's awesome. Thanks Kevin.
I downloaded your project, located the source files as being on my machine instead of yours, and tried it out. Unfortunately the export still had some issues, but looking at what you did helped me figure out how to start again from scratch and do it correctly.
I think I understand now - I had been creating a sequence by dragging the video onto the new item. So the sequence used the attributes of the video clip. I hadn't realized I could create a new sequence with different attributes, as described in this article http://helpx.adobe.com/en/premiere-pro/using/creating-changing-sequences.html
So I created a new sequence, made sure it had 29.97 fps and correct dimensions (1440 x 1080), dragged in the video and scc, and exported.
Seems like it worked!
Here's the final verions, with captions embedded. You'll need to download it to see the captions, since dropbox's player doesn't support caption playback:

Export to tape with two separate audio channels

This is probably an obvious one, but I'm having a lot of trouble with it. How do I export to tape making two separate audio channels that can be pulled out separately; not mixed, in other words? I can print to tape, but of course that mixes the audio channels so they're inseperable. I am having trouble with the edit to tape feature, in that, for some reason I can't do insert editing.
My real question is about the separating of the tracks, though. If anyone can help me with that, I will be extremely grateful.
Thanks.

Are you sure that your audio channels are seperate on the timeline. You may have the tracks mono and don't realize it. For example you might have voice on channel one and music on two and three. You may need to pan the tracks right and left accordingly.

CS3, exporting to tape has problems with more than two video tracks

Well, not quite, but that's the best I could do in the subject line.
I record multiple performances and edit scenes from among them. At times, this results in three or four video tracks on the timeline at once. Each track is 100% opaque, so only the top Enabled track shows. By Enabling or Disabling the various tracks, I can get the sequence I want.
And the sequence plays back fine in the Monitor window. But when I try to Export it to tape, as soon as I get to such a place, the image hiccups around the same small number of frames (think of the video equivalent of an audio sample).
It's not the number of video tracks. I can add Image Mattes on a third video track operating on the two below. I can add any number of titles on different tracks. They need to render, but then they export to tape perfectly.
What's different about three or more .avi tracks, even when they are Disabled?

Thanks, Jim, for your reply to this and other threads. (Warning: I had two other questions — been saving them up for awhile — that I'll post shortly. It was too late already last night).
> AVIs need to be "read" from the hard drive and can create a bottleneck depending on certain conditions.
Agreed, but unless there is partial opacity in the top Enabled track, only one track at a time is exported. And in the cases I cited, the unused clips were Disabled. No need for Premiere to read them at all. I assume the state of each clip is part of the Project.
Ah well, I was only curious if I was missing something obvious, or perhaps it was a known bug that would be addressed. Apparently the additional resources needed for tape export push Premiere over some edge. Remember, I can watch (even Preview) the sequence in the Monitor window without seeing this artifact.
> Render before exporting to tape is SOP. Go with that.
Naturally. And I do. And if I didn't, Premiere would do it for me automatically before opening the Export to Tape window.
Thanks again. On to the next thread.

Premiere Pro CC does not embed 708 captions in QT

Despite the fact that all of the online videos make it seem like exporting embedded closed captions is a breeze, it is not. After much experimentation I have found out there is no way to export 708 captions embedded into a QT file. I have been working with closed captions for a long time, and I am very familiar with the different pitfalls of closed captions. Why Adobe would chose to embed 608 captions only in an HD file is beyond me. To be excepted by broadcasters the captions must be 708 VANC Captions with the 608 alternative. Every time I get a file out of MACCaption this is what is included. I have tried to import those files into premiere pro CC and it does not see the captions.
I have tried creating the Sidecar file as a .mcc file, and it seems to be correct. Unfortunately there is no way to embed this into a QT file.
Kevin

You are correct that 708 captions cannot be embedded in QuickTime files; they can be embedded in MXF OP1a outputs or written to sidecars. This is covered, albeit indirectly, at the bottom of this help page.
Support for closed captions is a work-in-progress. CC7.0 provided support for CEA-608 and Teletext; support for CEA-708 was added in either 7.0.1 or 7.1. Of course, "support" is a loose concept, and work remains to be done on particular aspects of what exactly can be imported, how captions can be exported, and workflows for editing captions in a project. You can help us set priorities by submitting feature requests on what you think are the greatest needs.

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.

Any 3rd Party Application(s) to export to tape?

Heya guys. Hope production has been treating you all well. I'm kind of in a jam here where for some reason both my sony dv decks have stopped working via firewire. I currently need a third party application(if one exists) that can export a ProRes file to DV Tape. I'm about to go through the pain of reinstalling FCS 7, but I've asked a friend to come by with his cam for me to export a program to tape. I reinstalled my OS as a last ditch effort to see if that was the problem, sadly, it wasn't. So I can only conclude that my decks are... swabed.

That's strange then Nick. Almost all my timelines are in a different codec setting. I just figured FCP just plays em back through DV signal which is why all these years I've been able to export my ProRes timeline to mini DV tapes. Premier Pro did it as well...H.264 is another story. Been trying to switch over to FCPX lately so I don't wanna have to reinstall FCP 7 if I don't have to... or Premier for that matter. I don't mind converting the clips to DV but the question still remains, do you guys have any apps to export to tape?

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.

Can't export to tape ! Help !

Hi,
I'm having some trouble exporting an HDV sequence back out to tape from Premiere Pro CC.
I click on "File > Export > To Tape".
Then the "render and record" window pops up.
I click ok, but instead of the render line coming up and then recording, it just jumps to the "Transcoding to HDV" box, and almost instantly just returns to the "Render and record" one without doing anything.
And when I try to export a DV sequence, the VCR starts recording but received neither picture nor sound from PC.
Import works normally !
The problem is the same regardless of the recording device: Camcorder Canon HV20 and XHA1, or VCR Sony M25 .
Curiously, a few weeks ago, export was ok.
I don't understand !!!
With Premiere Pro CS6, everything is ok, both import AND export.
Has anyone experienced something like this before ?
Thanks in advance for your help !

Same problem here, double checked on another system with Adobe Premiere CS6 export works fine.
The same project settings / sequence settings (HDV 1440x1080@50i in Premiere CC and unable to export to Sony HDV deck. It starts rendering and writing but image stays black.
Using an other NLE software on the same system exports normally, so the firewirecard / deck and connections are fine.
Device control is the same as in CS6, disabled mercury engine (problem in the past)
Any idea would be appriciated

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.

Premiere Pro CS5 Not exportting to tape on TWO different Computers!!! HELP

I had a prior post in january with a new desktop having problems exporting to tape. when it would export a blue screen would come up at random times breaking up the recording. almost like the camera was losing signal with the computer.
Im capturing and exporting using a Canon XHG1 HDV camera.
Both the Laptop (sony vpcf11x) and Desktop (custom with intel sandybridge motherboard) can CAPTURE tapes fine. but export causes problems on BOTH machines.
Both of my computers (a laptop and desktop use the Intel i7 chipset.
I have a Third desktop (gateway something or other) that ive been using Sony Vegas to Export to tape and it WORKS EVERYTIME! with the same Camera and Firewire Cable.
Itried installing Sony Vegas onto the new Desktop to export and I get the SAME problem that I get with Exporting with Premiere.
has anyone else heard of these problems? it is really starting to irritate me. with everything ive done, it has to be something with Adobe. how can i have the same problem on two different computers?

Here are more specific information with my system and settings for you to see. I also included a video of my workflow and showing you what exactly is happening on export.
Project Settings:
Capture Format DV
Video Rendering and Playback: Mercury Playback Engine Software only
Sequence Settings:

29.97 fps
720x480
Aspect Ratio 16:9
30fps Drop-Frame Timecode
Playback Settings:

Aspect Ration Conversion: Hardware Only
External Device Audio
Export: external device DV: 29.97 720x480i
Disable video output when in the background is not checked
Export to tape settings:
Activate recording device is checked
assemble timecode, delay movie start, and preroll _ frames (none are checked)
abort after _ dropped frames (not checked)
report dropped frames (not checked)
render audio before video (is checked)
I render out the video to one file (on my desktop).
then import the clip into a new sequence with the above settings.
file>export>tape>
then it begins recording and drops out like the camera loses signal.
this is really frusterating.
