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

PPro CS6: Source Monitor Dropping Frames

Greetings,
Currently I'm working off an iMac, OSC 10.8.4, 12 GB RAM, with i7, and ATI Radeon 1GB video card. I haven't noticed it recently until today for some reason, but my source monitor keeps dropping frames like crazy after about 5 seconds of playback.
I've read other threads that recommend lower preview frame res, as well as playback res to 1/4. I've tried that, allocated more memory to PPro (only 2GB left to other applications, yet PPro seems to only use 1.9GB during dropped frame playback), shut down other proccesses that might be consuming memory, switched PPro to enable better "Performance" in preferences, and rebooted several times.
I realized that it could be the source footage from the start: 1080p 23.976fps TIFF sequence.
How can I get PPro to actually use more than 1.9GB of memory during playback in order to get over this TIF hump? Or does the real answer lie not in memory, but more processing power?
Not a job-threatening situation, but just curious as to what it takes.
Thanks!
-Hunter

Okay, thanks for the additional infor. I've taken note of this issue and will investigate when we return from the company shutdown on July 8.

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.

Can someone explain how to export to tape?

I see this window then I export to tape device control works nice, but I need to know what timecode is that? Why there is 4 timecodes and what do they mean>? I cant export to tape I want to export to betacam sony uvw 1400 deck. I can export by playing in timeline fine, but sometimes my computer crashes or timeline lags, so I want to use export to tape function for best results

Export to tape distortion

Hi ~
I'm exporting to tape a standard DV sequence in PPro CS4. At several light to dark edits, the video whips slightly, as if it were losing tracking or sync. But I've only seen this on my CRT editing monitors, not LCDs.
I'll be sending the videotape to be closed-captioned, and then it will be broadcast locally - so I'm trying to determine if there's actually a problem that will be seen on CRT television, or if it's just a problem with this CRT (I don't have any other CRTs to try out) This glitch is apparent while recording on the videotape, and also when playing the videotape back.
The video levels are below 100. I tried adding the Broadcast Colors filter just in case, but it didn't help.
Any suggestions?
thanks
Bob

I was thinking there might be something wrong with my video signal - and in searching for answers, I found the Video Limiter filter in PPro - which lets you set a clipper for the min and max chroma levels (-20 and +120 respectivly), and also for the lum levels (0 to 100).
so now that I'm sure that my video is legal, I feel better about the glitch being caused by the monitor - and not a problem with tracking or illegal black levels messing with the sync.

Export to tape failed

I did have lots of trouble using PPRO 5.5., stuttering video, no Encore library, bad editing conditions etc. After lots of tryings which didn't work, I decided to completely reinstall everyting and change the SSD for a oldfashioned 7200 rpm disk.
It Looks that changing my SSD drive for the OS and completely reinstall everything has solved most of my problems. I only don't know if it is the reinstalling or changing the SSD what helped me out.
I must do some editing to look if this stay this way. Hopefully it works now.
But one problem stays, and this is a main problem for me, because I use DV tape to archive my editing results. And without this feature PPRO 5.5 is not working for me.
When I try export to tape, the recorders start to record, but there is no video and no audio signal on the output. I did try two recorders and tried a lot of "external device" possibilities.
Capturing from tape goes well.
I did try the suggestions Harm Millard gave on one of his valuable forumsuggestions , to quit CPU accelerator and to change the IEEE driver into the "old" driver. But that didn't help much.
Anyone any suggestions to overcome this problem?
Thanks for replying
Chris Nierop

To answer your questions
2 decks, one is listed in the PPRO list: JVC BR DV 600 and an SONY DHR 1000 VC .
The JVC I already used when I edited with the PPRO 2.0, and that worked (at least in combination with the Matrox 100 card wich I used then) .
I did try different cables, I did completely new installation of windows 7, several new installations of PPRO 5.5, I did try to "power on" deck first, and then start windows, power on first after start windows and before starting PPRO, and all the combinations you can think of. I did try manually recording. I tried the two recorders, both failed. I searched the forumsites, I bought a custom build system completely conform the ADOBE specs, just to avoid the problems which I am in now. I did install only the ADOBE software to look if there could be some problems with other software.
Because Adobe suggested to install the "old driver" for the IEEE and use the "softwaresetting" I think Adobe PPRO 5.5 has a bug that they tried to "solve" with some special settings, that maybe sometimes helps, but not in my case. The last three months I am daily busy to get the software workable.
So far, so bad and I lost my trust in the ADOBE software. It looks to me that they never got to overcome the problems which they had in the 80 of the 20e century, when the computer software of the PPRO 5 series normally was named as "Plug and Pray", but then that was not only to blame ADOBE, the windows software also had his problems working with installed software.
But today, with the superfast systems it miust be possible to develope a system which is Plug and Play, with probally some minor settingproblems to solve.

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.

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 :-)
Lee.

How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some

Hi
As my topic says
How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some custom presets?
Assume you have Flash Builder 4.5, CS Extension builder 2.0, Xcode 4.5.1 running under MacOS 10.8.

I understand why you need updated running headers in your book. To a sighted reader these serve as a guide to where you are and help you find things quickly. In addition, if you are exporting your data to XML or HTML from the tagged PDF it would also be important to have these in the proper location.
But for accessibility purposes, it doesn't have to be there because the screen reader reads everything in linear order, line by line. No one is looking at the page. A user listening to the screen reader read the page is going to hear this heading, just before the actual word itself. So they will hear the first word on the page twice. It's not the end of the world if it's there, but such headings are not necessary for accessibility unless they are not repetitive and contain information that is not otherwise available.
So I would say, fine if you need them or want them there, it's just one word.
I think you should try exporting your book to PDF (or even just a chapter of the book) and look at the tags panel in Acrobat to see if you are getting the result you want. I can't tell you exactly what you should do to get those results, you are using a plug-in I don't have.
I can tell you I didn't have to add the headers to any article at all, they just automatically export if the other articles in the file are added and you don't select the header style option "not for export as XML."
You may not experience the same results with your plug-in, but I think it will probably work the same way.
Give it a try and best of luck.

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

Can't export to tape...HELP PLEASE

Hi,
I can't seem to export my sequence to tape on my Sony DCR-PC8E PAL camcorder.
I select select File -> export -> export to tape
It says it is ready; starts the camera recording automatically; but the camcorder screen remains blue and no signal is recorded.
The camcorder says 'DV IN' on the screen.
Sending a sequence to tape from windows movie maker works fine.
Capturing from tape works fine.
Anyone got any ideas on how to make this work?

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

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.
