Firewire Export To Tape Issue

I cannot export to tape (DVCam DSR-11) via firewire. Deck is recognized, device control works and I can record FROM deck into CS5.5. The "export to tape" window indicates that recording is successful, but nothing is going to tape. The sequence is set to DV and I think other settings are fine. I had no problems with this in XP with CS3. Now with Win7Pro & CS5.5 it doesn't work. Am using the firewire400 port on MB, no added cards.
Help please
Thanks

Export to tape issues

Hi Everyone,
(First time poster)
I was wondering if someone could help me. I have a new HP tower: Windows 7 Home 64bit Intel I7 Processor 8gb ram ATI 1gb video card with CS5 Production Premium.
When I try to 'Export To Tape' -on various Professional level decks and cameras-, (Sony DSR-45 & 1500, Panasonic DV 200, Sony PD-170), the audio/video comes out intermittent with 'stutters' or goes to black and then comes back,etc.
Now I have the firewire cable set on Legacy and when I use CS3- same machine- I have no issues or errors so it's not the firewire cable. I keep checking the Sequence Settings on PP CS5 but it doesn't work. I chose Hardware if supported, Software, None, etc.
I believe I've seen others with this same issue and, at least from what I saw, there isn't a fix yet.
This seems to be the only issue that I'm having as I'm burning to DVD and then going Out of my DVD Player to the camera via RCA which doesn't really keep the quality.
Hopefully I gave enough information and would love to get some other thoughts opinions for a Fix or Workaround if there is one. I have All my adobe products updated to their latest versions so I don't really know what else to do.
Thanks Everyone and I Hope to hear back from you guy's soon :-)

Export to tape issue

So, this is my first time trying to export back to tape from PPro and I have issues.
My project is HDV 1440X1080. When I do the export to tape, it says rendering to HDV, which seems weird since I thought why would it need to render if the asset is also the correct format?
But, the issue is when I try to read this tape portion back in with hdvsplit. For all the normal stuff I recorded to tape, it works great. I see the timecode, and I get one file per recording time I did with the camera.
But, for the part of the tape I exported, with HDVsplit, it reads in the section as just fixed file sizes of 1,596kb time and time again. When I look at the files, they all say zero time.
Now, if I use Ppro to capture this portion of tape, it reads the file in fine.
Since I have a need to read this entire tape with HDVsplit, it is critical for me to figure out how to record back to tape correctly so I can read it back correctly with HDVsplit.
Is there a reason there is no timecode put onto the tape when one exports?
Thanks

When you record back to tape it has always been one file even with dv.
Scene detection only works with a tape that has scene breaks in the the Time/Date stamp which has been induced by stopping and starting the camera while recording.

Premiere CS 5.0.3 problem export to tape via firewire

hi
My problem is that i can't able to export a sequence into a tape dv by firewire
I use premiere cs5.0.3, matrox rtx2hd, win 7 and a sony hvr-M15J
I've not problem to IMPORT tape from a matrox sequence neither from a premiere sequence but I CAN'T export to tape (i use firewire connecting my hvr-15j to matrox rtx2)
My workflow
I create a premiere sequence, the device control is online, in sequence setting>Playback setting i set DV 25i (720 x 576) but when i start to export to tape my sony hvr start to rec, timecode going on but it's all black and no audio
i try different setting in playback setting but nothing change, what's the problem?
Device control is online but maybe i have to change setting ofsony hvr-M15j ? The strange thing is that I've not problem to import dv tape
please help me
thanks

Matrox has no bearing on this - RTX2 just passes video through. It uses Adobe settings for capture and export.
Make sure your playback settings reflect what you are trying to export. Try this:
1. External Device set to DV, etc.
2. Audio button set to "External Device Audio"
3. External Device set to your DV device, not None.
4. MPE set to software only in the Project panel.

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.

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,

PE 2 Export to tape problem

Could anyone please give me an answer to this, in Elements 2, if I export to tape it plays the timeline out to the tape ok, when you play the tape back in the camera everything seems alright, If I then try to capture the said tape, I can’t detect any Audio, Video is fine, although there is sound on the camera
If I export to tape in Premiere Pro that tape can be captured Video and Audio.
Why is it not working in PE 2, I’m sure it used to, very embarrassing when I sent a tape to someone and he couldn’t capture sound, he rang to say there is sound on the camera, but won’t capture it, then I tried at my end and found there was this problem.

Because of the way video is streamed over FireWire from a miniDV, it really isn't possible that you're getting the video and not the sound, Team. They're all one file!
There are only a few possibilities that I can think of:
1) Your camcorder is recording the audio at a non-standard sample rate or audio format (something other than 12 bit 48K).
2) Your camcorder is equipped with a dubbing feature and, for some reason, the audio is configured to record to channels 3 and 4 rather than 1 and 2.
But you're right. If if either of these were true, why would it work with version 1 and not version 2?
So one other possibility is:
3) The ASIO is configured wrong in version 2. Seems strange that that's the case on two computers -- but it could be.
The test is to play the video you've captured with version 2 in Windows Media Player. Is there sound?
If there is sound, you know that version 2 captured the audio okay but the program isn't playing it right.
If there is no sound, then there must be an issue with how the camcorder is configured.
As I said, audio and video streaming over FireWire from a miniDV are not two separate files! So there's no way the program could get one and not the other. The only possibility is that, for some reason, one program is seeing it and the other isn't.

DVCPRO capture issues - FCP or tape issue ?

Can anyone help me rule out whether this is a tape issue or a problem with my system ?
Trying to capture from DVC PRO tapes - problem is I don't know if they are DVC PRO 25 , DVC PRO 50, or HD
(we inherited these tapes from another company, who shot them but is not being forthcoming about how they shot...)
I have a Panasonic AJ-SD93 deck hooked up to Final Cut 5.1.4 via 6pin firewire (G5)
I start playing tape with regular DV NTSC settings in Log & Capture, timecode seems to be rolling continuously, the deck display says i is DVC PRO 50 - then I hit Capture Now and I get a freeze frame, and an error message :
Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape. This could be due to a problem with the tape. Capture has been aborted.
So is it the tape ?
The weird thing is I was able to capture up to about 10 min of the first tape.
Even when playing back, something changes on the tape at about 10 min - but what ? Timecode is continuous - what coudl change and make it uncapturable ?.

Did you choose the proper Easy Setup? You need to choose the Easy Setup that matches the footage, so FCP knows what sort of signal to expect. If you try capturing DVCPRO 50 as DV/NTSC, then you would get this error.

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?

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

Export to tape grayed out

I am a new user of Premiere Pro CS6 (migrating from Final Cut.) I am trying to Export to Tape with a simple DV clip. When I try to select Export/Tape, the "tape" option is grayed out. In the Sequence Settings, the "playback options" are likewise grayed out. Yes, I do have the specific Sequence highlighted when I try to export to tape.
The odd thing is: Premiere is having no trouble recognizing my deck and my FireWire connection. I have a Sony DVCAM deck connected by FireWire, and when I simply playback the clip from the timeline, both the video and audio playback fine, which technically means I could just Print to Tape that way, but I would much rather have the specific control of doing it through Device Control so I could record to the deck in a more accurate way.
I am running the program on a Mac Pro.
I couldn't find the answer to this in the online help or in this Forum so far, so I appreciate any advice. Thank you.

Hi lakeivan,
What DVCAM deck are you using? Is your device control RS-422 or firewire? On the Mac, can you successfully assemble edit to tape using PP CS6? Specifically, if you use the "Assemble at timecode" option in the Export to Tape dialog, does PP CS6 actually play the timeline once the deck starts recording in assemble mode?
This function seems to be broken in the CS6 Windows code and I'm wondering if it's the same in the Mac version.
Thanks.
