Help...Edit to tape?? Not working...

Hey all...
I'm trying to output my timeline through Firewire to my DV/DVCam firewire deck.
Everytime I try, FCP comes back with " Incompatable Compression settings..." yada yada..
Have to start at a precise timecode but FCP won't output.
My settings are DV NTSC, video playback and Audio are both Apple Firewire and FireWire DV repectively, and in the A/V device tab playback is on firewire. I also tried checking the "Different Output for edit to tape...." and set it to firewire also.
Still keep getting this error.
FCP will Print to Video but that leaves a second or so offset from the timeline on the tape.
The tape has to match the recorder.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in Advance.
-Rob

There's this SimpleViodeoOut program that can lay back DV-stream with timecode on tape.
It's on apple's Developers sites.
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/samplecode/SimpleVideoOut/index.html
•Download the SampleViodeoOut Sample Code.
•Open the downloaded SimpleVideoOut.Zip
•In the SimpleVideoOut-folder that comes up, double click on the SimpleVideoOut.sit.
• An new 'SimpleVideoOut Folder' comes up. In there you'll find a SimpleVideoOut for OSX version.
Well: First export your sequence from the FCP timeline (Make sure the timeline has the Timecode you desire). Export as Self Contained movie, as DV.
Open Simple VideoOut and drag your movie in the required box...
Everything runs automaticcally from there... (Starting to record on the beginning of your tape...)

Edit to Tape not working for me!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Hey everyone,
I've researched this in many forums and have found what could be the answer, only to try and still get NOTHING!!!
When I drag seq. to ETT window I get the pop-up but 'insert', 'assemble', and 'preview' are kind of greyed out, and don't let me drop anything in, i.e sequence from browser, from viewer, clips, etc.
GOAL:
To Output Final Sequence from FCP6 to DVCPRO HD Tape, (Panasonic 1200a Deck). WITH TIMECODE for Broadcast at 29.97/59.94!!
SPECS:
*MAC PRO-*
Quad Core Intel Xeon Processor
3 Ghz
2 Processors
8 cores
L2 Cache per proc. 8MB
Memory-8GB
Bus Speed 1.33 Ghz
Boot Rom Ver. MP21.007F.B06
SMC Ver. 1.15f3
*FCP Ver. 6.0.2*
*AJA KONA 3 Ver. 5.1*
Digital out – 720p 59.94
Control – Playback timing /Genlock - Freerun
Codec – Pattern 2:3:3:2
Timecode - Input ---RP188 LTC
- Output--- Use QT Timecode is UNCHECKED
- 30 FPS DF
*Panasonic DVCPRO HD AJ-HD1200A*
Timecode Settings –
TCG MODE – REGEN
RUN MODE - REC
TC SOURCE - INT
Footage was shot 720P 24PN on Panasonic HVX200. Ingested via P2 Cards/P2 Store, (W/ REMOVE ADVANCED PULLDOWN FRAMES checked).
Project was edited in a 23.98 timeline.
Have tried: Exporting to QT at both 29.97 and 59.94—then re-importing into FCP with a new timeline w/ matching settings.
I have been told that FCP doesn’t produce TC ‘going out’ and that essentially we are looking to 'MATCH-EDIT' to timecode on tape.
I have Black and coded tape to 00:58:50;00
Project In point is 00:59:00;02 --for all intents/purposes this is a test seq. so OUT point is 01:01:00;07
I have complete Deck Control in FCP but, the problem I’m having is not being able to use the “Edit to Tape” func. In FCP. I can Black and Code the beginning of the tape, and the “ETT” window shows the corresponding timecode on the deck, but when I go to drop the sequence in the ‘Insert’ or ‘Assemble’ drop box, I get nothing? I don’t know if it’s the settings in the DECK, KONA CARD or FCP??
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!SHOW AIRING in 2 DAYS!!!!
Thanks
Zack

That deck cannot do insert editing or assemble editing with proper show time to the 1200 deck. That is that decks big weakness. Only the 1400 deck has this ability. You'll have to crash record and then get the tape dubbed at a dub facility with the proper show code.
TRUST ME...I have been down this path.

Edit to Tape Not Working

Playing from the timeline, outputting to the monitor, works fine. But when I try to "Edit to Tape", I get nothing, sometimes just bars from the Kona 2 Card. As well, a brief message will pop saying "video out in progress" and the mirror on the computer looks distorted.
After I try to edit to tape, just playing from the timeline will no longer output to the monitor. Refreshing video ssources doesn't solve the problem. I restart and then playing from the timeline outputs again, until I try to "edit to tape" again.
Any ideas?

I had a similar problem recently. I not only had the no signal to tape problem you had but also was getting a sync issue with my Digital Betacam. It seems that all was fixed by installing the latest AJA Kona (3 in my case) drivers, software, control panel, etc. Apparently when I updated to Leopard 10.5.2, I didn't realize that there was an AJA update that I should have done as well. That seems to have fixed the problem.
Open your AJA Control Panel software and go to the Info tab and see if there are any warnings in red text. You may have to manually trash your old AJA Control Panel, etc to make sure you have the latest version after installing the latest from their website.
I would try that as well as the usual stuff (repair permissions, etc). Another test would be to just hit record on your deck and see if FCP outputs signal to the deck without using the Edit to Tape function. Not sure what that will tell you? But if it does, I would imagine you just need the correct AJA drivers (which hopefully will solve the machine control/signal output issue). I've never heard of the preview window being distorted. That's kinda weird.
Hope that helps!

Help! limewire will not work on my Mac mini 10.4.11 now that i cleaned it

Help! LimeWire will not work on my Mac mini 10.4.11 now that i cleaned it out and had to get the new LimeWire. It keeps asking for Java 1.6 but I'm having no luck. :O( LimeWire was the reason I bought a Mac!

Very weird day in Firefoxland
First on a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 I respond to an invitation to upgrade to Firefox 4 (like a lot of others). Long story short, I wind up losing the browser altogether -- including all bookmarks. Why? Because neither the Firefox homepage (or CNET downloads) makes it clear that 4.0 is for OS 10.5 only! Amazing!
Then I try to register to post a reply in a thread that crits Firefox for not making this System Requirements info upfront clear. But the Register page I’m taken to (https://support.mozilla.com/bs/users/register) is in SERBO-CROATIAN!!
Then I try to log into Chat a couple of times and when it’s not CLOSED its a long line waiting and THEN it closes.
WOW!! Are the wheels off the wagon here or what!?!

The "FIND" feature in the Edit menu does not work. I can't find anything on a webpage

The "FIND" feature in the Edit menu does not work. I cannot search a page. If I am looking for the word "Doctor" and I know it is on the page. All I get after typing the first letter is that the typing box turns red.
This is not fun.

Make sure that <b>[] "Match case"</b> on the Find bar (Ctrl+F) doesn't have a check-mark.

FCP 7.0.3 ripple edit in timeline not working

FCP 7.0.3, AVCHD/proRes 422 LT, ripple edit in timeline not working. Using the ripple tool, I click on the edit point, drag the cursor to the clip and direction I want to trim but it doesn't work. pop-up says collision on V-1. Same thing when I double-click the clip to player and try to move the edit point on the scrub bar. This was functional in prior sessions. What's happening? Thx in advance.

I'm only using one (V1) track. Prior to this problem I was unable to insert edit. That problem mysteriously vanished after an unsuccessful phone support session w/ Apple failed to solve. Also when I try to insert w/transition (default cross-dissolve) the transition is applied to the opposite edit point,ie: out point of insert clip has transition instead of in point where it was applied. When I try to add transition to edit point (CMD-T) it doesn't work.
I'm slowly working around the ripple edit malfunction by using the razor tool and ripple delete (shift-delete) to trim in the timeline.

Saved Shopping Cart Display/Edit functions are not working

Hello SRM experts,
The problem that I have is that the buttons like Display, Edit, etc are not working on a saved Shopping Cart. What is the best way to debug this problem? How would I find out what methods are being called on the SRM system or if some entries are missing in some table for BUS2121?
We are on SRM 7.0 PPS SPS 5, Portal 7.01 SPS 5.0.
Thanks,
Mani

Hi Mani,
We are also facing a similar issue. Our protocol is HTTP throughout but still the issue persists.
Can you shed some light on any other config that you changed?

Read the documentation at the links. They won't hurt your data.
Basically smc reset is shutdown, pull your plug for 15 seconds, plug it back in, wait 5 seconds, and reboot. Harmless to you. Resets the smc.
Pram reset is similar but you need to push commnd-option-P-R after the boot chime. Read what does.

Need help getting rid of Trovi virus on Safari and Chrome. Cannot use the instructions Apple sent because the copy command under the edit tab does not work.

I use OS X 10.9.5. I have a trovi virus on Safari and Chrome. Yesterday I thought I had gotten rid of Trovi, but it's back on both my search engines. The directions Apple sent yesterday do not work; the copy function under the edit tab is grayed out and non-responsive. Can anyone help me to get rid of this virus? Thanks.

Are you referring to these instructions?

If so, be sure to read the instructions carefully, and note that you will need to repeat the numbered steps in the Conduit/Trovi/SearchProtect removal instructions for each line shown, not all together.
If those instructions aren't working for you, for whatever reason, try my Adware Removal Guide. It provides similar instructions, worded differently, as well as an app (AdwareMedic) that can help you do the removal automatically.
