Exporting to Tape...

Hello Guys,
I have tried exporting an edited video to tape on my Sony Z5 camera from Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and cannot see anything on the tape on playback except a Blue screen showing on the camcorder view finder. (This is with the "Aspect Ratio Conversion" set to "Hardware if supported on the Play settings).
However on re-setting the "Aspect Ratio Conversion" to "None", it then shows only still images of the clips of on the camcorder view finder as I move CTI across the timeline but does not export anything.
That is even though on both occasions, "Export to Tape" pop up window showed it was recorded.
Kindly let me know what could be wrong
Regards,
Francis.

Thanks Colin,
It has worked now. That was going to give me a little headache otherwise...I'm sure you probably sensed I'm a newbie to PR CS5.
Anyway, just to find out when one can actually use the option, "Renderer: Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration"?
Also, to check, if the hardware MPE and DV don't go, do the hardware MPE go with HDV? Never mind if the question seems rediculuous...bare with lme.

  • 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

    You have to change the playback settings in the sequence settings for each sequence.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Render and record, export to tape question?

    Hi,
    I have finished a ten minute HDV project.
    I now want to export to tape. (HDV Sony V1e) When I hit export - tape then hit the render and record box. This then brings up the Export to HDV (transcoding to HDV) box.
    The problem I have is that 10 min project trancodes for about ten minutes then just goes back to the render and record dialogue box, without the exporting to tape.
    I then tried exporting a smaller chunk (25seconds) and this renders in about three minutes and exports fine!!
    So, I think my camera etc is fine.
    Why won't my ten min movie render and record?
    Sometimes it does give me a low memory warning too. I have set the preference from performance to memory already.
    Please help!
    thanks
    scott

    Hi Scott,
    I am having this very same problem.
    Did you manage to solve it? If so, how??
    I've been trying to figure it out for the past 5 days and it's driving me crazy!!!
    I exported a 3 minutes sequence and it exported to tape fine. But when I tried to do the entire film - 55 minutes - it began the 'transcoding' then just stopped and went back to the 'render and record' pop up without any error message or anything.
    I am trying to get from CS3 to a Sony HDV deck.
    Thanks,
    Alicia

  • 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:
    DV NTSC
    29.97 fps
    720x480
    Aspect Ratio 16:9
    30fps Drop-Frame Timecode
    Playback Settings:
    Desktop Video Display during playback checked box
    External Device: DV_29.97 720x480i
    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.

  • Random freeze or stop on export to tape

    I have an i7 2.93 GHz with 3GB DDR-3 RAM.  I have a Zotac TX295 video card.  The system is a dual boot with Vista Ultimate 32 bit/XP Pro 32 bit.  I am primarily using Vista.  I have 2TB between2 RAID pairs, 750GB OS drive and a separate 750GB data drive.
    Windows, Adobe hardware firmware, etc. is all up to date.
    4 weeks ago (6/6) I successfully exported over 8 hours of DV footage to a DVCAM and a mini-DV camera.  Now i keep having a tape export problem.  One of two things happens:
    1. The tape will not record the full length of the project, not report any dropped frames but say it was successful.  It's random.  It can be a minute into the project or 30 minutes into it when it happens.  When this happens you see the camera viewfinder flicker to a blue screen real quick before returning to the video and stop recording.
    2. The video hits a random frame and continues recording but frozen on that frame with the sound stuttering on the sound of a single frame.
    As of tonight now, I have an additional issue where once you try to export Premiere slows down dramatically.  But, if I turn off or disconnect the camera from the computer everything suddenly speeds back up.
    All the while Premiere still reports I have about 1.2GB of free memory.  I even set the Page File to min. of 3 GB and a max of 6 GB.
    Here's what I have tried but have still had no success:
    1. I brought the project into a new one and deleted the render files and then re-rendered.
    2. I exported the project out as a new AVI, brought that into a new project.
    3. I exported the project out as a new AVI, switched to the XP OS, brought it into a new project in different scratch disk folders on a different hard drive.
    4. I held down Shift while Premiere started to clear the plug-in cache.
    Now the only recent changes that I'm aware of in the last 4 weeks are as follows (I listed what I did to try to resolve the issue):
    1. I updated my RAID controller card so I moved the files to a non-RAID drive thinking the firmware update created a problem.
    2. I updated the video card drivers so I rolled them back to the version they were 4 weeks ago.
    3. I saw that there was a .Net Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 update.  According to Microsoft this only provided a security patch for Firefox.
    I can't figure out what's going on.  I can't export this project yet 2 projects that are from 4 weeks ago or older seem to export to tape fine.  And the weird thing is if I take the exported clip of this project that won't export to tape and bring it to my friend's computer who has Premiere Pro 2.0 it exports to tape successfully every time.
    I don't trust the stability of the software now.  I even had a few weird instances that when mono clips were imported Premiere randomly saw them as stero clips.
    Any ideas?  I have another major project to start and the instability is really worrying me.  Please contact me at [email protected].  Thanks.

    One other thing...
    I tried to different cameras, firewires and the firewire connection on my firewire card and coming off the motheboard.

  • Can't export to tape - Premiere Pro CS3

    I'm using Vista 64 bit and haven't noticed other problems. The file is not HD.
    Export to Tape is grayed out in Premiere and other programs. Should I be able do the export even so, if everything is set up right? I'm going through a Sony DSR-11 to VHS. I set the DSR-11 to record (with no tape in it) as well as the VCR. When I put in a VHS tape with video on it, it shows up on TV, but when I try to come in from Premiere, the screen is blue and shows the time elapsed if I play the blank tape or try to record on it. And nothing gets recorded.

    Basically what you are doing is a D-A (Digital to Analog) passthru with your Sony, right? I'm not familiar with that camera, but if the manual does not cover D-A operation, you might try placing a blank tape in the camera. If that has no effect, you might try placing the camera in Play Mode. Different cameras behave differently. That's why I mentioned the manual. It *might* have instructions for doing the passthrough operation, though more often, one is doing an A-D passthrough.
    Also, does this camera offer passthrough? Many UK/Euro models have this feature disabled, an a lot of mfgr's are omitting it entirely.
    Good luck, and please let us know if you find the exact scheme to do the direct D-A transfer.
    Hunt
    PS One could record to miniDV tape, and then Play to the VHS recorder. Downside - uses a tape and takes twice as long, but might get you to the VHS in less time than tracking down the exact sequence to do it via passthrough.

  • PPro cs 6.0.2 Export to Tape Dropped Frames

    My specs are in my profile pic (pending approval).  I just upgraded to PP cs6 and have an odd thing happening.  Has anyone else seen this?  Does anyone have an explanation?
    Whenever I output to tape (FireWire to Panasonic AJ-D250, DVC Pro), I get dropped frames.  Anywhere from 2-30 but I only get them in the first five seconds or so.  After that I don't think it drops a darn thing.  I don't hear or see any stutters in my output as of yet.  I usually start with five seconds of black so I really don't care if that has drops. This is more of an oddity at this point.
    What I've tried, each case the timeline was fully rendered:
    Output from a different drive (single 7200 SATA)
    Creating a single media file and outputting that
    Outputting NOTHING (put something in the timeline, increase the work area, delete the instance)
    Clean Cache & delete prefs and retry the above
    I think I forgot something else but that is my list.
    I reinstalled PP cs 5.5 and tried an output from that.  All was golden...no drops and smooth playing.
    I'm playing back NTSC video off a 5TB RAID drive, it's not like I'm trying to play 1080i off a memory card or anything.
    So that's what I've got going.  Like I said, an oddity.  The moment this starts to hinder the important stuff, the stuff that goes on air or in presentations, then I'm going to be a little more upset.

    I don't use tape, but I do have a few saved links that may help

  • 480p24 and Premiere Elements Export to Tape

    If you have a miniDV camcorder that has an option to record 480p24, you can capture firewire it into Premiere Elements 7, using the project preset = NTSC DV Standard in New Project dialog. And, it is well known that in this DV Capture, the capture will result in interlaced video at 30 frames per second, even if your miniDV camcorder’s footage is progressive. In the process, a pulldown is applied wherein the 24 progressive frames per second is changed to 30 interlaced frames per second.
    You edit your video on the Timeline. After you finish editing, I do not see that you have an opportunity to remove the pulldown in Premiere Elements to revert from 480i30 to 480p24. So, export would be the usual routes for 480i in Premiere Elements, I would think.
    Now, here comes my question. What if you decide to export that Timeline back to the camcorder set at 480p24 using Premiere Elements' Export to Tape? Would the pulldown be removed and would you end up with 480p24 on the camcorder’s tape? I think not, but I am not sure. I suspect that the Export to Tape might not work at all, if the project preset is set at 480i30 and the camcorder at 480p24. Do not know.
    The bits and pieces of information that I have accumulated are:
    There are two varieties, 24p and 24p Advanced
    24p was not intended for the pulldown to be removed
    24p Advanced was intended for the pulldown to be removed
    In this regard, it looks like Premiere Pro can handle the pulldown.
    But, I was wondering if Premiere Elements' Export to Tape had any hidden merits in this regard.
    Any comments would be appreciated since I do not have the necessary tools to try it myself.

    Thanks for responding. I was thinking in terms of a camcorder like the Panasonic miniDV AG DVX100 and some other camcorders from Panasonic that shoot 480p24. I ran across this online and got curious about the topic and wanted to learn more.
    A Steve Mullen article on "Progressive: What You Need to Know" got me started in this direction, and I wondered just how far, if at all, you could drag the Premiere Elements' Export to Tape into this. I am a "dedicated" Premiere Elements person who will probably never defect to Premiere Pro which I suspect would be the better choice of programs for 24p.

  • 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!

    [Moved to CS4 and Earlier.]
