Print to video using a DSR45

I am planning to lay off to tape on a DSR45 and need it to have timecode. I'm told the DSR45 does not do 'edit to tape' so plan to use 'print to video'
Will the deck generate a timecode while it records or does it come from FCP?
I want to ensure it has a timecode but not sure if there's any setting I may need to check.
thanks for any help!

I think you can get what you need from it. The time code settings seemed a little quirky the couple times I've used one. Sony publishes the manuals.

  • Trying to print to video using in and out

    I am trying to print to video (Mini DV) using in and out points. It works fine when I just play through the camera and record and it will print to video when I start at the beginning, but when I place in and out points and I have set the media to print "In to Out", but it just records the black leader then stops.

    For exporting, IN and OUT points must be set in the +timeline of the sequence+ you want to export: make sure the timeline is selected, but NO clip in the timeline is selected before setting the points (use ****-cmd-A to deselect all clips).
    If they are properly set you'll see an highlighted area in the timeline between the IN and the OUT points.

  • HDV Print to Video not showing metadata

    I'm running Final Cut Studio 2 and a Canon HV20 camcorder. I'm trying to consolidate footage from one tape to a new tape using "Print to Video" but the metadata such as date and time doesn't transfer. It works perfectly when I tested with DV format (consolidating 1 DV to another) but HDV only transfers video and audio with no metadata, and I'm guessing timecode too but I'm not sure. The original tape shows metadata.
    I'ved tried with different settings. Captured using HDV Firewire, HDV Firewire Basic, HDV Firewire Basic NDF, AIC and print to video using HDV (1440 x 1080) 60i. They all record to tape fine but no metadata. I've even tried capturing and export to tape using iMovie with the same results (only video and audio with no metadata/timecode). What am I doing wrong?

    Nope, I'm not talking about photo EXIF metadata, I'm talking about actual video. If I play DV or HDV tapes on my camcorder the date and time of the recording displays in the lower right hand corner of the LCD screen and the time even changes based upon when it was recorded. I've owned 3 DV camcorders and used friend's and they all do this.
    When recording DV or HDV the date and time is registered somewhere. Even the new iMovie '08 will name the clips you import by date and time shot for DV or HDV (ex. clip-2003-02-09 13;57;34.dv).
    Again, I can import any DV tape (video) now, export it to another tape, play it and the date and time of when it was recorded is retained, even if I rearrange it's order in iMovie or FCP. This is something I've done for years. I just can't accomplish it with HDV. I'm sure it can be done I just need to see what I'm doing wrong in the chain.
    Please don't let my use of the word metadata confuse you that I think it's photo EXIF metadata. I used the word metadata because it just means "a set of data that describes and gives information about other data."
    Thanks.

  • System will not print to video

    I'm using Final Cut Express HD 3.5.1 I'm trying to use print to video using my Panasonic DVX100A camera (mini-DV). I have the fire wire hooked up. I try to print and I know the fire wire is hooked up right because the computer automatically starts the recording on my camera. But no video or sound are recorded, the tape is left blank except for time code.
    I have the camera in VCR mode. I know it can record this way as I've already duplicated tapes using a fire wire between 2 mini-DV camera and recording onto the DVX100A.
    Does anybody know what is wrong here? Thanks.

    Do you have any other devices connected to the computer? Try trashing the preferences, rebooting, and launching the project. Is the camera recognized? Can you play the sequence back from the timeline into the camera viewscreen?

  • Problems with capturing and printing-to-tape using FCP4

    Having trouble logging footage and printing to video using FCP4.
    1) When we log-in footage (capture) it constantly stops and says, "dropped frames". This usually happens after 10-15 minutes of logging-in footage. Why is this happening??
    2) When we Print-To-Tape, it will suddenly stop! Sometimes it will continue Printing-To-Tape, but without audio!
    Is this a common problem? Should we re-install FCP4?
    We've done all the software updates, but we're still experiencing these problems. We've also cleared up our computer by deleting old FCP4 projects.
    We have a G4 with three internal Hard Drives with approx 180GB each. We're using the Sony DSR-11 as our Mini-DV deck.
    Help!!!!

    We don't have Virex or Norton software in the machine. We have Disk Warrior which was helpful in the past with other problems. Should I run another check using Disk Warrior?
    We only have one machine which has three internal drives. We've experienced the same problems using each of the drives.
    We do have some video stored in the system drive, but normally we don't use that drive. The system drive currently has 70GB availble, as do each of the other internal drives.
    We have updated our FCP to 4.5, but should we trying re-installing it?

  • Print to Video Error msg: audio and vide devices may not match

    When I attempt to print to video (using a Sony DV deck that has werved me well for years) I receive the message:
    "The selected audio and video devices may not match:
    -Apple FireWire NTSC (720 X 480)
    Please verify that the audio and video outputs are externally routed to the intended device(s).
    Do you want to proceed?"
    I tried proceeding, and the video images output to the tape but without a sound track.
    What to do? I must deliver a tape to my client!
    I recently did a software update to 10.4.6. Could that be part of the problem?
    Of did some setting change somewhere without my knowing it, and I need to reset it, if so what?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello!
    Thank you for this. I did check the audio playback settings and it was NOT set to audio follows video. I then CHANGED it as you have kindly instructed. The audio video settings box you mention was NOT checked, so I didn't need to do anything there.
    I then tried o launch Print to Video (not Edit to Tape) and sadly, the same error message occurred. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    I am running FCP 4.5, recently upgraded to OS 10.4.6
    Thanks in advance.
    Hey Pamela,
    Have you been monitoring externally this whole time?
    If you have, and you've been getting external audio
    and video, then this is probably a case of a
    setting being off somewhere.
    First, check your View > Audio Playback
    setting. It should be set to Audio follows
    Video.
    Second, press Option-Command-Q to bring up the
    Audio/Video Settings dialog. Click on the right-most
    tab (A/V Devices) then confirm that the box for 'Use
    Different output for Edit To Tape/Print To Video' is
    not checked.
    And please confirm that you're doing a Print to Video
    and not an Edit To Tape. I ask because the only time
    that I can remember getting this message is when I've
    tried to do an Edit To Tape and didn't drag the
    correct sequence from the browser (if I remember
    correctly, I accidently dragged a sequence that was
    also open in timeline).

  • Print to Video "beep" also on tape

    Hi,
    I'm using final cut express and I have captured some movies without any problem to my harddisk. Now I made a compilation and want it to print to video (using the menu option "Print to Video". When I do that, my camcorder records the sound and the image. That's oke. The problem is that a continous beep is also being recorded. My ToneLevel is -60dB.
    Questions: How can I "Print to Video" without that annoying beep ?
    I'm using FCE4, on OSX10.5 and a MacBook, 2Gb, capturing on a DV camera.
    Thanks,
    Rokesh

    The Command+R worked on the Sequence.
    I tried to "print to video" an imported DV file (so no sequence, but directly).
    Thanks for all the help. I finally got it working.
    First I created a sequence, than dragged the movie on it, then Command +R, then print to video.

  • 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?

  • FCP Crashing When Printing to Tape Using Audio Follows Video Setting

    I'm trying to Print to Tape using the Audio Follows Video setting from FCP. I am using a Sony DSR-11 Deck and a Mac Pro. I was able to Print to Tape successfully earlier today, and I have done it successfully many times before. Every time I try to Print to Tape with the Audio Follows Video setting, FCP crashes. Actually, every time I play audio from the timeline using the Audio Follows Video setting, FCP crashes. I have deduced that the problem must be with the Audio Follows Video setting, but I'm not sure what to do to correct the problem. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

    Well, what version of FCP are you running?
    Final Cut Studio 5
    How is your media stored? Number of hard drives, how full are they, ect?
    I have two hard drives. One is 250GB the other is 750GB. I have my applications on the 250GB drive. All of my media is on the 750GB drive. My computer is brand new, so I haven't even come close to filling the drives.
    What is the format of the media you are trying to send out to the DSR?
    I'm going Firewire out of the Mac Pro to the DSR11 to a Mini-DV tape.
    Have you tried doing a crash record?
    I would rather not do a crash record if at all possible. I know that is a back up option, but I also know that my system is capable of working properly.
    I really appreciate you trying to help me out on this.

  • Print to video vs edit to tape - which to use?

    I'm new to FCP. I want to output to a tape that has not been entirely blacked or striped. Should I use Edit to Tape assemble edit? Or will Print to Video work?
    thanks!

    Thanks. I just read the user manual PDF and think that is the way I am going to go. I want to start at 01:00:00;00 and be frame accurate.
    thank you!!

  • 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

  • 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.
