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!

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.

  • How to export to tape

    Hi, i have camera panasonic dvpro200, and fcpx, with the FW, I edit my movie and i like to export it to tape thro the fw, but it not work, why

    You can't export to tape with FCP X  .  .  .  it just doesn't do it.
    The future of video shooting is on non-linear storage devices not linear tapes.
    FCP X reflects this fact and caters mainly for such cameras.
    We are lucky that Apple has permitted us to even import from a tape camera.

  • Help, how to export emails from mail app

    hi guys: I did not uncheck the box remove emails from the server after ..... so my hotmail on the server are gone. i want to have email copys stores on the server, since i need to check hotmails from any computer, not just on my home computer where the emails backup copys are stored. so i want to export my emails from the mail app in the mac back to hotmail server, how can i do that?? please give me a hand, i will really appreciate

    You can do it via Mailbox>Archive Mailbox. And also, based on what you're saying you have Hotmail set up as an POP account in Mail. Don't know if Hotmail offers it, but if you set up the Hotmail account as IMAP in Mail then the behaviour will be different. You will have two copies of the emails on both the server as well as the computer. Go to Hotmail's help section and type in keyboards like "IMAP" and "Apple Mail."

  • Help, How to export multiple mono tracks?

    I have eight tracks of master audio that has been captured to FCP with the video. I have sent the timeline to soundtrack to create individual mono timestamped BWF for each track (very important).
    I have each of the tracks submitted to submixes. When I play the timeline you can see that each track has distinct audio assigned. Now when I export, telling the program to export all submixes, it only puts audio on tracks one and two. It is however creating 8 wav files.
    Now here is the odd thing, it was working for the first 4 day of the shoot. Now it has decided to crap out. Was I just getting lucky before, and if so. What settings should I have to achieve what I need.

    Yes, we are. The problem is unique, meaning that when we try aiff exports the full 8 channels right properly. But wav files don't only right the first two. We need to use wav since the tracks will be going to pro tools for the conform and mix.

  • Exporting to Tape: How the **** do i do it

    Im using a HDR FX1 HDV cam but filmed my project with is as SD non wide screen. I edit it and try to export. i have tried this a thousand times but it never works.
    I put a new tape it and black in code it. so far so good.
    then i try assemble it but then a widow pops up saying "incompatible compression settings, my output does not mach my output settings and I'm stumped, i tried everything.
    i always end up exporting it to imovie, and this takes care of the job but lose quality and time.
    I would be really cool if somebody posted a list of how to export to tape. I think a lot of people would find it help full.
    THANK YOU

    #18 Edit to Tape "Incompatible Compression Settings"
    Shane's Stock Answer #18: Edit to Tape gives the error "Incompatible Compression Settings"
    To Edit to Tape simply drag it from the BROWSER onto the Edit to Tape window and choose Assemble Edit or Insert Edit.
    Ttape needs to be black and coded and have TC already on it. This can be done in the Edit to Tape window as well. Make sure you are in Mastering Mode, and click on the black film strip, and choose CURRENT SETTINGS.
    Before you lay back to tape, you’ll need to mark and IN point in the ETT window as well as on your timeline. Say at 59:30:00…so at 59:30:00 your timeline will start and it will begin recording onto the tape at 59:30:00.

  • Export to tape mt2 files

    Please advise how to export to tape in premiere pro 1.5.1 HDV content as it does not recognise the canon HV20.
    But, will export to tapre in Premiere Elements 4 without a problem ? ie., after you Import the file into Elements 4 ?
    Why cannot Adobe tech answer this problem. Incidentaly Sony Vegas Platinum9 Software does it perfectly and does recognise the canon HV 20 ?

    Hi Harm,
    I am of the old school, if nothing is broken don't fix it. ( which means I
    probably should have upgraded long ago)but, we do not use multiple cameras.
    Still using a Dell 8400 Dimension 3.2Ghz @800fsb 2Gb Ram & 2 Big hard
    drives.Hyper-threading and Multi Processor PC with 128mb ATI Radeon X300 and
    it has been working very well for 4-5 years using Premiere Pro 1.5.1
    Cineform HD Upgrade, with Panasonic 3ccd video cameras and now Canon HV20 as
    well as Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Where the Import of the (Quicktime  mov. files
    from this camera when placed on the timeline will not run without rendering.
    And if I am working with 30 minutes of 1920 x 1080p  clips it will take 4-5
    hours to render, let alone transcode.
    But, when it does it's thing, the export to Tape in HD is perfect, so no
    problems there.
    My son who is in the Web & Video business has run into the same problem with
    his Final Cut Pro editing.( I believe they have put an upograde out now,
    finally).
    I am just trying to find a quicker way of doing things.We are basically
    photographers so the 5D Mark II  is more than ideal for what we do even
    better than the Hasselblads + video.
    Thanks,
    Bob.

  • How do I capture tape-based media to my external hard drive?  There is only one firewire 800 port on the back of my I mac.  The manual says to import tape footage directly into fcpx, but then I lose my external hard drive.   thanks for your help.

    In FCP X How do I capture tape-based media (hdv clips)- which I want to import-to my external hard drive?  There is only one firewire 800 port on the back of my I mac.  The FCPX manual says to import tape footage directly into final cut, which works, but then I lose  my external hard drive    Do I  have to import it into an event, then copy it over to an external hard drive?  On Larry Jordan's tutorial, he has 3 external hard drives that show up on his monitor WHILE he imports his tape based media.  How is that done?  I can only get either the camera to appear OR my external hard drive.   thanks for your help.

    Thanks for your response, but that doesn't solve the problem.  Yes, the LaCie hard drive has 2 firewire ports-
    I have always done what you suggest (works fine in FCP7), but in FCPX when I do that the camcorder icon
    does not appear.  It only shows up when I DIRECTLY import the footage via firewire.  ????

  • 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

  • Can't export to tape...HELP PLEASE

  • 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:
    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.
