Print to Video quitting

I have done this a million times without a problem, but now...
When I hook up my HV20 deck and print to video(minidv), it works for awhile and then arbitrarily quits without any error message. My deck keeps recording, but the screen just goes back to my timeline.
I have tried it multiple times and it quits at different spots each time.
I have conformed my HDV project, so that it can shoot it out from the timeline like I always do.
I got a new firewire, but that isn't the problem.
The original file is on an external hard drive that is connected via firewire.
Any suggestions? I am at my wits end.

1) Are you printing "entire media" or "in to out" if it's the later make sure your "out" is in the right place.
2) try exporting your project as a self-contained movie, put it in a new timeline and then print to video

  • HDV Print to Video

    Have read all threads for the last year on this, and have not been able to Print to Video. It starts fine, transfers via FW to my Sony FX-1. After about 2-4 min. it starts freezing for a split second, then jumps forward, only to freeze again every few seconds. If I have mirror on desktop on, the video on the desktop does NOT freeze, but plays normal. I have no problems capturing hdv video. Here is a list of the things I have tried.
    1. Deleted FCP preferences, and rebooted.
    2. Shut off energy saver and screen saver.
    3. Tried both FW connections and disconnected ALL other FW (400 & 800) devices.
    4. Tried different FW cables and 3 different cameras.
    5. Exported the project out as a single QT HDV file and imported that to the timeline.
    6. Mixdown audio. The timeline and all setting are 1440x1080 hdv & 1080i60.
    7. The single QT HDV file is saved on an internal SATA drive with >200 GBs free, not with FCP, OSX
    I would be willing to try any suggestions. Thanks for any help.

    About the only thing left to do is a total rebuild of your startup disk I'd think... HDV isn't my favorite format... but if you HAVE To print back to tape, you've not much of a choice than to edit with it natively. Hey, if you've not done this in a while, it's time to do so in any event. I do it at least every few months with my own systems, and also at the school I teach at part time, there's about 70 FCP stations. We do it every semester and it serves us extremely well. Stable systems each with about 10 or so Users on each... no crashing, and all works as advertised.
    FWIW... few need to record back to HDV for any reason... It's not a deliverable format for broadcast in most all instances, and it was intended to be a consumer format... see the original press release from Sony on this years ago... so running it in a Pro NLE like FCP isn't going to be a flawless thing. I'll wager that iMovie does it better! (Though I've never tried it myself) Most pros deliver HDCAM if going to broadcast, and we don't edit HDV natively. Instead, we capture it as ProRes, then use a card like a Kona 3 or an IoHD to turn it into uncompressed HD for delivery.
    If after a totally clean installation of the system startup disk still prevents you to print to video with HDV, I'd suggest you fill out a feedback form in the FCP menu. Apple's FCP team reads and logs every single one of these I'm quite sure. They don't read these forums in fact much. They are for user to user discussion.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Video captures but won't dub or print to video

    I am using Final Cut Pro 5.1. Capturing video works perfectly, but when I try to dub onto tape or print to video, all I get is black. What's really odd is that when I print to video and check "Automatically start recording," the DV deck DOES automatically start recording, but then the video will play on the computer's screen and not the monitor for the tape deck. Also, video and audio should be coming through the monitor while I am editing, but that isn't working either.
    I have refreshed A/V devices, quit FCP and started the program again, and "All Frames" is checked under View->External Video.
    One more qualifier. The last time I used this deck was in early December (and it worked perfectly). A week later, it wasn't communicating with the computer at all and I thought it would have to be replaced. I went on vacation and came back and now it's working again (but with the problem I just described above).
      Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Fixed it myself. The DV deck was on the wrong channel.

  • I can't use the function of "print to video".

    I've recently purchased FCPX and Blackmagic Design Decklink HD Extreme 3(version 7.5.2) but I already know this combination looks quite weird because I'm using only DSR. This is the first time I have installed FCP.
    I installed FCPX and figured out there's no way to get the video from Decklink on FCPX so that I deleted FCPX, installed FCP 2009 instead and installed FCPX again on the same disk as Final Cut Pro 7... It's a shame to get rid of it.
    At first, I could get a good result when printing to tape. There's no problem. But it's not long before I failed to get what i wanted. VCR detects input signal from FCP 7 through Decklink but the monitor of VCR shows only noise. For now, I can't use the function of "print to video".
    Also, I connect the input of Decklink to the output of DSR and the output of Decklink to the input of DSR at the same time and monitor w/ the output of DSR. However, the output on the monitor shows something weird when I capture the video from DSR as if the signal is fed back.
    Someone told me that I have to use other version of decklink but i'm not sure it would be better if I just change the version.
    What's wrong?
    What should I do for fixing these all mess?

  • HD Print to Video

    I have a 27 minute project I have tried to print to video, every attempt is unsuccessful.
    I am printing to a Canon HV20 using FC6. At first it seemed to crash where 2 sequences were married (2 simple fades). I since copied all sequence elements into 1 timeline. FC quit in the exact same place.
    My computer specs are listed. Is it unrealistic to think my processor can handle HD?
    Thanks in advance.

    What drives are you using? How's the camera connected? What version of FCE? What version of QuickTime?

  • Unable to recognize deck when printing to video (fcp 6.0.5)

    I am driving myself absolutely crazy trying to figure this one out. I found a previous thread discussing the same problem (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8602649) but nothing has worked.
    My footage was shot using a Sony HVR-V1U. I captured using the ProRes 422 codec. My audio video settings are set with the following...
    sequence preset: Apple Pro Res 422 1440 x 1080 60i 48khz
    capture preset: Apple Pro Res 422
    device control preset: sony firewire hdv
    When click on the A/V tab, different output for edit to tape/print to video is selected:
    video: [Missing] HDV 1440 x 1080 60i
    audio: default
    Im not sure why the missing is there. My firewire port is working and i can capture without a problem.
    I've tried trashing the prefs and am at a loss. This problem may have an easy solution and really hope someone can help!
    Thanks!

    Sorry to say, these days that machine is marginal, and HDV is processor intensive. I hate that darned codec already.
    Just for laughs, capture one clip as prores and see if you can recreate the behaviour. It might behoove you to re-ingest your footage if you haven't gotten too far along.

  • Problem with Print to Video in FCP 6.0

    In the past I have been able to print to video with FCP 5, now not working with FCP 6. My Sony HVR A1U is seen by FCP, I can log & capture no problem. When I go to print to video, the sequence does not show up on my camera LCD and I cannot capture it. I have checked the system profiler and under firewire the camera is listed. In the print to video window I have checked Automatically Start Recording, but this has no effect.
    Thank you for your advice

    Just curious. How do you get your computer too see the HVR. I am using I movie HD and it does not see anything. Is there a camera setup procedure? I looked at the vague manual which was no help.
    Thanks in Advance

  • Print to Video Does not Work

    I am running Final Cut pro 5. I am trying to send my time line to a mindv deck using print to video. I have a monitor hooked up to the deck to watch what is being recorded. I set my in and out points in the time line and and select print to video from the menu. I do not have any of the boxes checked, because i have black and color bars already in my time line. I select in/out and hit ok. The screen goes black and my video shows up in the middle playing, but nothing shows up on my monitor and when i watch the tape that i am recording to, there is nothing on there as well. The device control is working, because I can capture footage off of the deck, but it seems to not be getting a signal when I am trying to print to tape. I have also tried edit to tape, and I press record on the deck after setting up the sequence and then I play the sequence, and nothing is still recorded onto the tape. For both edit to tape and print to tape, everything is working, but nothing is being recorded onto the tape. I have also tried hooking up my sony camera to be used to record, but that doesn't work either. Any help would be great thanks!
    G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Make sure the deck has it's input selection set to firewire for starters...
    I'm not clear if this is part of the problem, but FCP 5.0.4 will run better in Tiger.
    But if you can see external video, you should also be able to print to video or edit to tape... if you can't then keep troubleshooting your Firewire connection... got a different cable to try? Can you capture video OK?

  • Print to video HDV not working

    I'm having problems with printing my HDV project to the camera.
    On a DV project it works, but when I open my HDV project I cannot choose any external video options,
    I can log and capture, but not the other way.
    I read that the edit to tape function does not work in HDV, but printing to video should.
    Just don't know how
    Maybe someone can help me
    Thank you!

    If it's a sony camera involved, select the "Easy Setup" that matches the sequence setting... like 1080i for example, and see if this doesn't clear things up. Make sure the camera is in VTR mode as well. If it's not a Sony camera check the settings it uses here: http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/resources/devicelist.php

  • FCP7  print to video doesn't work on one timeline but does on another., FCP7  print to video doesn't work on one timeline but does on another.

    I have a project which I captured from .mov and want to print to video : dvd.  The image shows on the monitor but does not work to capture.  The other sequence that is open does run to capture.  What's wrong and how do I fix it.
    Thanks
    BTW, we do this a lot!!!  This glitch is new.  And yes we have rendered the sequence.
    Tom

    Print to Video only works with some Sequence settings via Firewire to the recording device.  Are your Sequence settings for both Sequences the same?

  • Project won't print to video

    Hi,
    I have FCE2. I'm trying to print my project to video. I've used both Sony and Canon Mini DV camcorders. When I hit "Ok to start recording media onto deck", the project plays back ontop of a black screen on my computer and my camera is rolling, it says "rec", there is timecode moving, but when I play it back, nothing is there. It does not record anything.
    When I do the same thing in iMovie, it DOES work! I can see what I'm recording in the camcorder and it DOES print to video and it DOES playback after I'm done.
    What am I doing wrong in FCE2?
    Thanks,
    Squibb

    Please give full specs for your system, computer, drives, devices, how everything's connected, settings on the camera in record mode, settings in FCE. Trash your preferences, reboot, connect everything correctly, launch the application. Does it see the camera? If not, do not proceed to PTT.

  • HELP!!! need to print to video ASAP. NOT WORKING

    Hey,
    I've been trying to print to video a 3 hour piece, well, it's segments of many movies for a film festival. Anyway, i've used like 4 decks now, trying to capture on dvcam, and everytime i record something to tape, it just records like pink fuzz. i've tried using different firewire ports, and messed around with the settings. so does anyone know a sure fire way of allowing me to print to video?
    Thanks,
    Jared

    I had this happen to me a couple of days ago, and this is what I changed:
    I opened the Audio/Video Settings, then selected the A/V devices tab. Then I selected the Different Output for Edit to Tape/Print to Video check box and set the video to Apple FireWire NTSC and the audio to Firewire DV.
    After doing changing these things the video signal was sent to the camera and I was good to go. Hopefully that's what you need to change.
    Hope that helps.

  • Unable to print to video, out to Sony V1U

    Wedding video shot with Sony V1U, HDV 1080i 16x9. Imported into FCEHD3.5, using easy set up hdv 1080 AIC. total movie length 100minutes. Edited fine. Exported as a QT movie self contained to desk top, no problem. Then attempted to export from the time line the entire sequence. The FCE is pretty easy to export from and set the sony v1u to HDV import with both auto and HDV settings. It is in VTR mode. I checked the render again and it was complete. saved the project. Closed FCEHD. connected fire wire from cam to computer and powered up cam with what appear to be the correct setting according to the manual. Opened FCEHD and project. Rechecked render, resaved project and chose print to video. Went through the next screen as I normally do and have tried with both automatic record start and manual record start. Clicked start and the computer does its job and the video starts but the camera does not appear to ever be controlled by the computer. I let it run for about 30 minutes to see if it needed time to change from Mpeg2 back to HDV. Maybe I did not wait long enough for the number crunching before I gave up.
    Question 1: What am I doing wrong.
    I tried to export a SD movie and it worked fine.
    I tried to send it to IDVD from the QTmovie.fcp file on the desk top but it immediately shuts down IDVD. I tried to import into ImovieHD and it gave me a QT error. I thought maybe imovie had a time limit so I re-exported the movie in to sections as FCP and then dragged and dropped into imovie and it worked. The resolution is much worse in imovie as compared to the great video in FCEHD.
    Question 2: Am I losing quality as I move from HDV to FCEHD ( I would assume so as it is going to Mpeg2), and even more when I go then from FCEHD to imovie.
    Question 3: When I print to tape from fce back to my original hdv setting it should convert back to hdv correct?
    Any advide would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Steve

    Purchased IDVD8 and problem solved

  • Having trouble with audio edit to tape, print to video ok

    Hi all, please go easy on me, this is my first post.
    I am having difficulty getting audio on to tape via 'edit to tape'.
    The hardware is blackmagic decklink extreme, feeding component video and analoge audio to a UVW-1800P.
    I can do a print to video on a crash record and the audio works that way, but edit to tape does not.
    I have tried both deck link and built in audio in the audio settings and the FCP a/v settings, seperate and ganged output settings, I have set the insert settings to 2 channel Sony, reloaded the decklink drivers.
    The irritating thing is the audio is there whilst cutting, but as soon as I try edit to tape there is complete silence. The important thing is that it worked a few weeks back but does not now, it must be a setting?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    This machine I am working with this week is an Intel MacPro running FCP 5.1.2 and Mac OS 10.4.8
    G5 Dual 2GHz-Blackmagic Decklink Pro, G3 with Sonnet G4 upgrade   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  
    G5 Dual 2GHz-Blackmagic Decklink Pro, G3 with Sonnet G4 upgrade   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I had this same problem and this resolved it for me:
    -Go to your "Settings" icon and click on the "General" tab.
    -About 2/3 way down the page you will see "Use side switch to:" - make sure "mute" is checked rather than "lock rotation."
    -Then make sure the side switch, located next to the volume toggle switch on the side of your ipad, is moved to the right (no red dot showing).
    My audio worked fine in embedded videos after I did those two things.  Hope it works for you.

  • Print to Video problem

    Hi. I'm trying to back up a large amount of raw footage by using the File/Print To Video option to record onto MiniDV tapes. I'm using a MacBook Pro, FCP 6.0.6 and a Sony HDV Handicam as the recording deck. When I've tried to Print to Video, the footage displays on my monitor, but not in the display LCD panel of the video camera. After rewind and playback, nothing has been recorded. I went through the forum to read up on similar problems and think the issue might be that I can't get FCP to give me any Video Playback options under File/Audio/Video Settings/Summary/Video Playback: I'm defaulting to "None" and only "Digital Cinema Desktop Preview" options are available. I've tried rebooting several times, switching between a Sony iLink S400 cable and a generic Firewire, but no luck.
    I don't know if it matters, but the original footage is stored on an external drive. It wasn't shot on this handicam. When I logged and transfered a small clip of this footage into a new test project, I allow FCP to match my sequence settings to the clip settings, resulting in a Sequence/Sequence Settings Panel with the following:
    Frame Size: 960x720 HD (960x720) (16:9)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD (960x720)
    Field Dominance: None
    Editinng Timebase: 23.98
    QuickTime Video Settings
    Compressor: DVDPRO HD 720p60
    Audio Settings
    Rate: 48kHz
    Depth: 16-bit
    Config: Channel Grouped
    Thanks for any help you can give me. I need a reliable way to archive a ton of footage like this, so any alternative ideas would also be appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Rick

    OK...now keep that in mind. HDV camera. Print to video is the solution...BUT...
    Frame Size: 960x720 HD (960x720) (16:9)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD (960x720)

    Editinng Timebase: 23.98
    QuickTime Video Settings
    Compressor: DVDPRO HD 720p60
    DVCPRO HD! That is NOT HDV. You cannot PRINT TO VIDEO via firewire a format that is NOT HDV. Not possible. Not unless you convert it TO HDV. But then you are taking a nice 100mbps, intra-frame (individual frame) 720p 23.98 footage and convert it to 1080i 29.97 Log GOP format. It will not be close to what your original footage looks like.
    If you insist on archiving to HDV, then you need an HD Capture card (one that cross converts 720p to 1080i, BTW), and high end HDV deck with SDI imputs. But then you are changing HD formats.
    Nope...wanna keep the same format? Then rent a DVCPRO HD deck. Know though, that when you output you won't be running at 23.98 anymore...it will be converted to 720p 59.94, as that is the format that the tape records. And you can't remove the pulldown, as outputting to tape from FCP doesn't include any 23.98 pulldown flags.
    This is P2, right? Keep and archive the ORIGINAL P2 card dumps to bare SATA drives, or firewire drives. Or invest in an LTO tape archiving.
    HDV is not an archiving/mastering format. It is acquisition only.
