Print back to tape FCP & Z1...how?

I need to print back to tape from my edited footage using Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 and my Sony Z1...cant work out how to do it can anyone tell me there workflow to do this?
Should the camera be in VCR mode??? and how do you record?
Thanks...

I recently tried this (with Sony Z1) and it wouldn't work - until I trashed my preferences:
FCP gets it’s knickers in a twist from time to time and if you trash your preferences it will often sort things out (with no harm done to your project etc etc) . . .
Download FCP Rescue :
http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/
Once it’s downloaded, hit Backup first, then hit Trash. If the Trash does no good, hit Restore and everything's as it was. (Easy-Peasy)
FCP Rescue is freeware but there’s provision to make a donation if you wish – (it’s well worth it)
If you need reassurance about trashing your prefs, go to this Apple page:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302337
Or this Ken Stone page:

Good luck

Does HD Image Quality Decline When Printing Back to Tape?

HD Final Cut Express
Does HD footage quality decline when sent back to tape, i.e. does it get compressed?
Currently, it appears that HD footage burned using iDVD does deminish the image quality.

Hi(Bonjour)!
There is a difference between HDV footage and HDV footage converted to standard definition (SD) for burning a DVD (not an HD nor blue-ray DVD).
When you print to tape a HDV content from FCE HD to your HD camcorder, there isn't degradation (altough your media was converted to Apple Intermediate Codec for wotking in FCE HD and re-encoding to be printed on tape. Re-encoding always means degradation, but you cannot see it with naked eyes.)
When you burn a DVD in iDVD (version 6, current), all your footage is converted to MPEG material in Standard definition (720X480 pixels). since iDVD doesn't support high definition DVD.
In a near future, iDVD (iLife 7 or 8 or...?)(or another application like Roxio TOAST) could support HI-DEF DVD (if you own a HI-DEF DVD burner, to play in a HI-DEF DVD player hooked to a HDTV...).
At this time, your superb HDV content will be monitored in HI-DEF.
Now you can print to tape and monitor on HDTV from your camcorder to see it in full resolution (HD).

How do I duplicate my original (uncompressed) footage back onto tape?

Hi
If anyone can answer this I will be really, really grateful. I've posted on Canon HV30 user forum and also on Creative Cow, but no one on those forums seems to know the answer.
Question is how do I make duplicate copies of my original mini dv tapes?
I am using my cannon hv30 as a deck. I have an IMac 24" running OSX 10.5.4 and Final Cut Pro 6.0.4.
I've managed to import footage from my canon HV 30 using digital audio settings
On HV30 VTR Mod
Playout Set-up 1
Playback STD A
FCP
Audio Video Settings
Summary tab
Se1 Pres HDV 1080i50
Capt pres HDV
Device Control HDV firewire basic
ignore video playback
A/V Devices Tab
Playback output set to none
The Different output for edit to tape/print to video box is checked
Video HDV (1440x1880_ 50i
These settings are fine for capuring video but I can't get final cut pro to export back to tape on my canon.
Error message is that the audio/video settings aren't compatible with the footage I'm trying to export. Since this was the original footage I captured using these settings in the first place, not sure why not?
I also have a number of .mov files on my lacie hard drive which I need to put on tape for a friend, but I get the same error message as mentioned above. These were originally imported via I.Movie. Is it the same problem? Or is it a separate issue?

What are your Sequence Settings?
If you converted to Apple Intermediate Codec to edit, the procedure is as follows:
1 Make sure your HDV camcorder is properly connected to your computer and turned on
before you open Final Cut Pro.
2 Insert a DV tape into the HDV camcorder.
3 Click anywhere in the Timeline or Canvas to make it the active window.
4 Choose File > Print to Video (or press Control-M).
The Print to Video dialog appears.
5 If you want Final Cut Pro to start recording automatically, select the Automatically
Start Recording checkbox.
6 Select any Leader or Trailer elements you want to include on your tape, as well as start,
end, and looping options. A progress bar shows the progress of encoding from the Apple Intermediate Codec back to MPEG-2 HDV and gives you a time estimate for when the encoding process will finish. A dialog appears instructing you to press the record button on the camcorder.
7 Press the record button on your camcorder, then click OK. If you selected the Automatically Start Recording option, the camcorder automatically begins recording your program to tape. The camcorder stops after the program is recorded to tape.

Transfer back to tape question / How to do a portion

How do I transfer just a portion of my entire movie in FCE back to tape.
I have about an hour in one sequence and I only want to transfer the last half back to tape... I know how to do the basic print to video but how do I designate a specific segment?
Thanks

Ah I think I get what your asking. There are no buttons in the timeline. Just hit the keyboard 'I' for in and 'o' for out in the timeline and edit points will be placed at the playhead. These points will automatically be reflected in the Canvas as the canvas and timeline are just different visual expressions of each other. I like marking them in the timeline cause I can see where i'm at in relation to everything else. But tis up to you!

How do I get my office jet 4500 printer back online to print

Please help with my Question to get 4500 printer back online

What operating system does the computer use? This will be good to know if any steps need to be performed from the computer.
Offline and Online in Windows can refer to network and USB connected printers. Is the printer connected over a network or by a USB cable?
If over a network, what brand and model is the router? Also, is it wireless or wired (Ethernet)?

How do I print back to front?

how do I print back to front? My print jobs come out printing page 1 first so I have to shuffle the papers to get them in the right order.

You will need to contact the printer manufacturer customer support and/or read the manual that came w/your printer.
It would also help if you would advise us of which printer & model that you have. Not all printers prints and/or scan the same way.

Recording back to tape

I was just wondering if someone can point me to some instructions on how to write a previously "captured" MiniDV tape back to a MiniDV tape. I imported them all into iMovie '08, as that was where I was doing my editing. I made the mistake of taping over the original MiniDV tape. I would now like to re-write all of my "clips" back to a MiniDV tape so I have a backu. All of the clips are timestamped; however, when I write them back to tape using the "print to tape" feature of FinalCutExpress 4, I lose all of the dates. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure you lose the dates ? I know for sure that you lose the original timecode (each recording starts from 0, whatever is the original timecode of the clip), but I thought date and time were preserved even if not visible in FCE. Never checked dates myself though.
Have you tried with iMovie ? but probably going back to iMovie from FCE for this purpose is no longer an option for you.

Like a similar posting, I can't print video to tape, any suggestions?

Like a similar posting, I am having problems printing to tape from Final Cut Pro 5 to my Panasonic DVX100A cam. I have audio, but no video. I tried exporting to a QT, but even still, when I open the QT back up in FCP, I have audio and no video.
My settings are as follows:
Sequence Preset: DV NTSC 48 kHz
Capture Preset: DV NTSC 48 kHz
Device Control Preset: Firewire NTSC
Video Playback: Apple Firewire NTSC (720x480)
Audio Playback: Firewire DV
I have refreshed my A/V Devices, and in my camera I have played with many configurations and settings with the 1394.
The strange thing is when I move my cursor over my sequence, I get a still image in my camcorder viewer. However, when I try to play it, it freezes on that one frame, while the sequence runs.
Any suggestions? I am running out of solutions.

I have "all frames" checked, and I tried restarting the computer and hooking up the camera, and opening my project. I have no other output set for print to video, though I tried fiddling with it to see if that could work. Unfortunately, none of the above is working.
I am seeming to find that this is a common problem on the web, yet I have not come upon a solution yet, or rather, if it's even possible. I shot this project with the Panasonic HVX200 cam using the P2 card at 720p.
I don't know if it's even possible to record a 24 signal (from the original 720p P2 card) to an NTSC tape via Firewire, or if the DVX100A will only write 24pa to tape while it is shooting.
Can anyone help out with this?

Outputting 720p30 back to tape

Hi,
I have FCP 5.0 on a 2.5 GHz G5, operating OSX 10.3.9
I can capture my 720p30 footage that was shot on a JVC HD101 through my JVC HD50 deck fine. On the timeline I need to render before i can view... can someone help on this? (all sequence/capture presets are the same)
I can still cut though but when it comes to spitting it back to tape, back to 720p30 HDV, I can't. I am going through the print to tape function, the computer takes control of my deck and starts recording but when i review there is no image on the tape....?
Any help appreciated!
