Outputting to tape - NOT WORKING!?

Hi,
I'm trying to output to a mini-dv tape, and it's not working. I know I'm supposed to be using "Print to Tape" but it's not showing up on my camera screen. I went into Audio-settings and the audio playback is set to "FireWire DV" and the Video Playback is set to "Apple FireWire NTSC (720 x 480), also I chose "All Frames" through View and that didn't work either.
What am I missing?

hook up camera to 'puter, switch camera on into VCR mode (possibly 'play') - i.e not 'camera' or rec mode.
Launch FCP > open project > select view > all frames > go file > print to video > click OK >
Wait until writing video/audio finishes (if applicable) you should then be prompted to set your deck/camera to record which you should do, then press OK.
Sometimes, depending upon what camera you use to record to, you may need to use the supplied remote control to go into 'record pause mode' prior to hitting the 'pause' button which will set the camera to record.
What camera/deck are you using? The tape isn't set to 'record protect' is it?

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!

Multitouch trackpad double tap not working ????

yesterday i was having oily food nd by mistake oil get on to the trackpad nd then my laptop went crazy, mouse started moving itself !!!!!!! after few min.i cleaned it with wet tissue paper nd afterwards every thing was fine rtoday i noticed that double tap is not working i am not able to drag any folder with double tap iam doing it with click plzzz help

It sounds that you still have contaminants in your track pad. Take it to a qualified repair facility. As a last resort you may spray the track pad with non-residue electrical cleaner to wash away the contaminants. This may or may not work and entails an element of risk.
Ciao.

Output speakers do not work, have a red light coming out of my headph. jack

My headphone jack works but theres a red light coming out of my headphone jack when its unplugged and my internal speakers will not work...anybody have an idea? Tried system preferences and says no options for selected audio and cant get any sound for my built in output speakers and my volume display in my bar is faded....HELP!

@Spencer
I know this thread was marked answered but thought I should chime in since my MBP (2.66Ghz Late '08, bought May '09) started to exhibit this behavior. I was getting "No Output" greyed out speaker images and the red light coming out from the headphone jack. It's been intermittent but finally wouldn't go away so I figured I'd contact Appe.
This afternoon I called Applecare and was advised to take it to the Apple store... no questions asked, no troubleshooting steps, just told me to take it to the store and even offered to make me an appt. I was able to get an appointment at the genius bar same day (literally 2 hours after I hung up the phone). My wife took a ride with me and we headed down there.
When I showed the technician she tested it and then went to the back room to double check something. When she came back she told me that it was hardware related and needed to be sent in for service. I am under warranty so it was no skin off my back but I will need to be without the machine for a few days.
I agree with Rod to take it in, esp. if you're still under warranty. I should also mention that this only started happening a few weeks ago but the red light part was rather sudden.
Good luck!

CC Bridge -- Output modules installation not working

(Had this in an "answered" response. Trying as new question.)
Hi,
I am having a problem with having the Output Module work as well.
According to the instructions I have done everything correctly. Install Adobe Output Module
I:
Copy the Adobe Output Module folder (not the AOM_Package_[OS] folder) into the Bridge CC Extensions folder in the appropriate location:Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CC Extensions
Copy the AdobeOutputModule.workspace file into the Workspaces folder under the Bridge CC Extensions folder.
When I place the AdobeOutputModule.workspace into the Workspace folder Bridge doesn't come up at all. If the Module is in the same folder as the BridgeCC folder then there is no change to whether Bridge works or not.
Additionally, I am not seeing "!!-$$$AdobeOutputModule.workspace" in the \Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CC\Workspaces folder. All I see are
!!-$$$Essentials.workspace
!!-$$$LightTable.workspace
!!-$$$Navigator.workspace and
!!LastMenu.workspace
Help please. Any more ideas.
Thank you,
mario

Marioo, If you do not see the !!-$$$AdobeOutputModule.workspace file, that means output module is not installed properly on your machine.
I would suggest you :
To check if you have the admin rights on the machine, If not, login with the admin account and check.
Reset Bridge workspace : In Bridge, choose Window > Workspace > Reset Workspace
Download the appropriate 32 bit or 64 bit AOM package and make sure to de-compress or extract it. Have seen issues like these, if users don't extract the files.
Now Copy the Adobe Output Module folder (not the AOM_Package_[OS] folder) into the Bridge CC Extensions folder in the appropriate location:Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CC Extensions
And now copy the AdobeOutputModule.workspace file into the Workspaces folder under the Bridge CC Extensions folder.
Launch Bridge and check if you get "The Bridge extension "AdobeOutputModule" has been added to Bridge" message.
Also, make sure user has full read/write permissions on C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe folder.
Let me know how it goes.

Output medium 5 not working for invoice message type

Dear all,
we have an issue with output medium 5 for comercial invoices. We have defined current message type ZRD0 with this output medium (it still has other mediums assigned like 1) because when we create a comercial invoice we want to send the invoice automatically to customer mail as a pdf file.
We have followed the instructions:
-we have add this medium to message type and it has assigned exactly the same program and smartform as medium 1).
- Communication strategy is already defined as it is being used for vendors mails.
- Customer has e-mail address filled and my user in SU01 has a mail defined.
Unfortunately mail is not being generated but spool is being generated?!? For vendors this output type is working fine, we are sending the PO to vendor's mail as pdf file and I don't understand why it's not working.
Any ideas??
thanks in advance,
Raquel

Hi Raquel
Firstly In the output type ZRDO output type , check wheather the transmission medium has been checked or not. Secondly also check in VV32 with what transmission medium the record has been maintained.
Finally also check in ZRDO output type wheather pdf file has been maintained or not

RH8 - TOC books won't collapse in output and search not working

I'm working on a RH8 project with a second author. When I last generated the primary layout (Webhelp),
I noticed that the TOC books will not collapse in the generated output. Also, the Search feature is not
working (Search field is not displaying). (See ATTACHED IMAGES)
Is there something in the Project Settings that could be causing this? I am wondering if we somehow
checked a setting that would force the TOC to stay open in the generated output?
Also, I notice that the Search area seems to be displaying some index items and numbers?
Anyone have any trouble-shooting ideas? I do know that when you initially setup or open a new
RH Project, you have to go through a series of dialogue boxes with various settings. However, when
you go to Project Settings, you don't see all of those settings... so I'm not sure where to trouble-shoot this...
Any suggestions welcome - thanks!
Rachel

Output Type ZNEU not working for PO document type ZNB

Hi all,
I have copied from standard the document type ZNB, and also the output type ZNEU, (from NB and NEU), I have made and checked all the setting on NACE (condition records, procedures, output types and sequence) everything is same as standard, I have also mantained in the "Fine-Tuned Control: Purchase Order" the indicators 1 and 2 (for new and change) for ZNEU, and mantained in MN05 the entry for ZNB Doc Type with VN media=1, date/Time=4 so for me these is the only setting needed but for some reason I am not getting the message automaticaly, but if I create manually the message while creating the PO then it works fine.
For Doc type NB and Output type NEU the system gererates correcly the message so I don't know what could be happening here.
The reason I created these copies (ZNB and ZNEU) it's because I have a different plant in a different company code which need to issue PO's and need a different number range and also different FORM (with the logo of the other plant/Company)
Any ideas on how to correct this??
Regards

The problem was that in spanish, the function partner VN and CP are PR and PR so this was confusing and the records were crossing each other, thanks to every one

Oracle Secure Backup 10.3.0.3.0 in Windows 2003 with IBM Tape Not Working

Hi,
I am currently implementing Oracle Secure Backup. My environment is this:
OS: Windows Server 2003 (32Bit) for all servers
Database: Oracle Database 11.2.0.1.0
Tape Library: IBM-ULT 3580-TD4
I will have to configure 2 machines to work with OSB: server01 and server02.
Server01:
This serves as the client, admin, mediaserver
Server02:
This will serve as the client, admin
When I log in to Server01, in the device manager, I can see the Tape Drives (no warnings, no questions marks) so I think it's good.
When I log in to Server02, in the device manager, there are no Tape Drives seen. Is is ok or shall i configure the IBM Tape drives to be also accessible since this is just the client, admin host?
Also I have noticed that when I installed the OSB in Server02 (client,admin), when I am on the SCSI Devices, i dont see any tape device (since its not in the device manager). Because of this i cannot start OSB Services and cannot add this host to the mediaserver.
Also, I am having issues Configuring the Library and the devices. I have read the official documentation completely but i think its very general and it does not present the detailed step-by-step process in installing and configuring OSB.
When I issued: lsdev -lvg in the mediaserver , I can read an error: Warning: bus info unknown or drive not installed.
Help is very much appreciated. Thanks a lot guys!

I have resolved the issue. Ill close this thread. :))

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

*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

- 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.

Macbook Pro with Retina Display Trackpad double tap not working

I just got my macbook pro with retina display and updated it to mountain lion. When I double tap text, it doesn't highlight it like it used to on my old macbook.
I tried to so the trackpad update 1.0 but it says it is not supported on your system. What does that mean?? And even holding and highlighting doesn't work. is anyone else having the same problem?
PLEASE HELP!!!!!

You could try updating your apple TV and then restarting it. Bit of a guess.

Track Pad single tap and double tap not working

Dear All,
I have a MBP A1226 model with intel 2.2 GHz Core 2 uo processor. With Mac OSX ver 10.8.4.
My system had developed a snag, was not booting up. I booted up thru the rcovery disk and after the disk repair did not help, did a drive erese and a fresh install.
All seems to work well except that the trackpad does not respond to single aswell as double tap. Scrolling is working fine.
Help to resolve this issue will be appreciated.
BTW trackpad was functinal before the snag.
Regards

I suspect the trackpad settings were reset when you did your fresh install of Mac OSX.
to fix this, open up Settings>Trackpad>"Point & Click" tab.
Here you will find tons of settings that wil let you customize how your trackpad works. More specifically, you will want to enable "Tap to Click".
Hope this helps!

Exporting from F.Cut Ex 4 to DV tape not working!!!

I work for a TV channel and urgently need to export edited footage back onto DV tape for them to work with.
INFO Macbook Pro 2.66Ghz Snowleopard OSX 10.6.2 Work with PD170 Sony Camera & DV tapes. Connecting through Firewire.
When I press 'capture to tape' it does fire up the camera and the tapeheads turn and records, the sequence can be seen on the mac playing normally, but when we play back the tape we've recorded to theres nothing there except a blue screen.
What are we doing wrong, are there certain settings you need? Please help! This is a contracted job that has very tight deadline this month!

Regarding your camcorder -
• Make sure it is in VTR mode; you will have to manually start the recording.
• Make sure the camera is set to DV mode (not DVCAM)
• Make sure that it is set to DV-IN mode. This is a setting that tells the camera what input the a/v signal will be coming from. (Some cameras call this AV->DV OUT, which needs to be ON for analog input; OFF for DV input via FireWire.)
• Make sure your camcorder is connected via FW to your Mac, and turned on, before you start up FCE
If everything is working correctly, you will be able to see the video on the camcorder LCD screen; if the screen is blue or black the camera is either not receiving a signal or the camera settings are incorrect.
Regarding FCE -
Make sure your sequence is fully rendered and the audio is mixed down
• +Sequence > Render All > Both+
• +Sequence > Render Only > Mixdown+
Make sure FCE 'sees' your camcorder. You may need to do +View > Video Out > Refresh Video Devices+
You can record a DV sequence back to tape two ways:
• Print-To-Video, which allows you to specify some things before playback
• *Just play the sequence* with the camcorder connected (In my experience this is more reliable than Print-To-Video)

Bridge Help / Install Adobe Output Module is Not working

New computer so switched to the Maverick OS and moved my CS6 over. Lost my Output Module in Bridge. Went through the all of the resets and downloads recommended by Adobe and I still have not had any success in getting the module back. Would prefer not to reinstall. Any ideas

What do you mean by "moved 'my' CS6 over" ? ???
Always install applications from scratch, from the original media. No exceptions, ever.
"Migrating", "transferring", Copying, "moving", etc., are GUARANTEED to bring you nothing but grief.

Bridge CS6: Output to PDF not working/Blank

Using Mac Mini: Lion OS.
Adobe CS6 Photoshop / Bridge
This Output worked in the past. Sometime in the last month it has stopped working.
I select three images for examples and want to create a simple pdf (content sheet)
Nothing fancy, no watermark.
I have reset the preference settings at bridge startup with the (hold alt key) still doesn't work.
Any help would be great.
Thank You
Greg

OSX 10.8.2
Bridge : CS6 (version 5.0.1.21)
No software updates have been installed. The Output would give me option to PDF or Web.
Nothing is happening now. The RIGHT hand window pane is completely empty.
I select my three images, click on Output and nothing happens. (Just three selected images and and empty pane on the right hand side.)
As of a month ago, this worked. I selected three images and Output, a whole window would show up with options to adjust the layout of my pdf sheet.
I could fill in the header and footer, select columns and rows, resolution. Everything. Now nothing shows up.
I can't describe it anymore than that.
Thanks for any help
