Printing to Video, Audio but no Video!

Seems like Im having the exact problem as this guy...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6829306&#6829306
He said he found a switch that was making his deck monitor black. Did he find that on FCP?
When I go to print to viewer, there is action to my camera from FCP (everything turns black on the camera)
Seems like the on computer playback is fine with audio.
But no Video on the camera viewer.
When I hit escape it shows one single frame on the camera from the computer playback.
What do I do? Tried all settings and even some settings that don't even match my AV deck.
Help!
thanks!

k found the problem on my own....
I was working with 24p material... you need to have a 29p. timeline in order to export...
had no idea...

Print to Video - No Video, but Have Audio

I have a Sony DSR-45A Deck and having issues.
I'm able to log and capture fine and able to print to video. However, when I go to print to video, it starts recording and I get the audio, but no video signal. I don't even have signal when I turn the external video on.
I used it earlier this week and was working fine. It has happened before and I've just restarted and it was fine. Any ideas? The video I printed to Video this week doesn't work, so know it isn't a frame rate issues.
Thanks for any help or suggestions. I've been reading all morning and can't find any one with this problem.

If you're getting audio but no video, make sure the deck is set to accept the proper video format (DV-CAM?) in.
Also, you may have to reset things by shutting everything down, plugging your firewire cable in first, then turning on the deck, and then starting up the mac and launching fcp.

Print to video, audio but no video

Hi,
I am trying to print a project to video.
Everything's hooked up, i press record, i record the project's audio, but not the video. Any suggestions?
Thanks, much appreciated.

Hey St. Louis,
I've had this problem many times. Try this course of action.
Go to View, select "Refresh A/V Devices." Try printing to video again and see if it works. If not, then go to your Audio and Video Settings (Should be under your Final Cut Pro dropdown menu at the top). Once there, go to the A/V Devices tab. Select any of your drop down boxes in this tab (doesn't matter which) and change it to something different, then change it back to your original setting. Try printing to video again.
I have found that this seems to solve this problem. I've also occasionally run into a problem where I get a window that pops up upon telling the program to print to video that says my selected video and audio options don't match, even though they do. This approach also seems to clear that up.
Hope this helps.

Still Need Help: printing audio BUT not video to panasonic DVX 100A

i've never had this problem before, never.
i haven't printed to video that many times on this
camera, but i have done it a few times, with the same
computer set up.
i've re-booted, un-attatched cables, re-attatched them,
but still not showing video on the monitor window on the DVX.
can some one help??
and besides the audio getting to the camcorder,
the screen does go black (instead of blue), just
no video image.
i've followed the same procedure for the last 5 years using Final Cut Pro:
- selecting the sequence on the Browser
- selecting mini dvd firewire (instead of 'none')
on the drop down for Audio/Video quick setup.
- and i've selected using same destination for 'print to video' as the source of video
- under View, external video shows 'all frames'selected.
- the pref's shows i'm using the DVX instead of another camera.
thanks,
kyle

I'll back up Studio with my usual list:
#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

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.

When I "print to video" FCP works well but suddenly freezes... why?¿

Hi everybody! I'm desperate right now, hope somebody could help me. I'm working on FCP 4.5 and when I'm done with my project I try to "Print to Video" and/or do it manually and all seems ok but suddenly FCP freezes (with audio still running) and I gotta start all over again... This never happened to me before. I'm doin' this with my iMac G5 (with AGP Video Card) and I can edit, add effects, transitions and even add photoshop images fine but when I want to "print my project" on mini DV I just can't do it "continously" ... any ideas? Thanks a lot, really, anything at this point would help me. Take Care, Bye!!!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3) iMac G3 Graphite, iBook G3, iPod 15 GB...

Is this a firewire drive? USB is no good for video.
If the external is a frewire drive, all your media should be on that drive while you edit. the final output should also remain on that drive.
Once you are finished editing and ready to record, export the file under Use Current Settings, Self-contained.
Then bring that into a fresh sequence and play it to tape for recording.
good luck.

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.

Weird audio issue when printing to video

I am attempting to dub a couple of old projects to tape using the Print to Video command (firewire connection to Panasonic DVX-100A MiniDV camera). I have used this method many times in the past with success. However, I have now tried two different projects tonight and had the same strange issue: The project plays back perfectly normally in the timeline, through the computer speakers, but when I Print to Video, there will be one part where a small audio "blip" can be heard. It sounds like either a snippet of tone or the sound of un-rendered audio... except it's all rendered.
Anybody have any suggestions? It's really weird that it plays back something different in Print to Video than it does in regular playback... Any help is appreciated.

That did it, thanks! I feel kind of dumb, I've never used that function before. Is that something I should have been doing all along? Anyway, thanks again. It's nice to get a response and have it work on the first try. So refreshing.

Print-To-Video audio beeps

I'm printing a sequence to tape and all is going fine until, at one spot, I hear a few seconds of audio beeps. It's similiar to when audio tracks aren't rendered.
I went back to my sequence, but there's nothing there to be rendered. I play through the sequence and there're no audio beeps.
Any idea why this would occur when I do a print-to-video?
Thanks.

How many audio playback real-time tracks are set in User Preferences, and how many tracks are there at that point in the sequence?
Try adding a couple or four tracks in User Preferecnes and see if that squares it away.

No audio when I print to video

Video is fine, in AV settings I have Firewire audio selected. Audio sounds fine from timeline but when I print to video i get nothing not even a tone with bars at beginning of print down. I've tried different cameras so I'm thinking it is a setting in FCP that I don't have right... Any suggestions? could something like this be the cable I'm using or a weird Firewire problem like not enough power because too many devices are plugged in? I know that the "official" word is (with puffed out chest) Firewire can handle up to blah blah blah devices, But my experience with Firewire is that it is finicky. So, just wondering if it could be something like that. Off to do some experimenting...
Ive tried unplugging all other firewire devices and works fine on my powerbook with what seems to be the same settings...?

Hi,
It appears from what I found online that there are some A/V settings you should check before exporting your video.

Print to video, vhs tape no audio

Mac Os X version 10.4.10
Final Cut Pro 6
Imac
Jvc SR-VS30U
I can print to video just fine. The video looks fine, but
there's no audio. I already contacted Apple for support. Does
anyone have a resolution to this problem? Thank you

I tried your suggestion, and it didn't work. I'm pretty much lost, and Apple is no help.

Audio issues -- Print to Video

Audio is good as print to video starts, but either drops out all together, or goes out of sync after 30 minutes or so.
Thanks for your time in advance.

Have you tried goat sacrifice?
The results for you may vary - but not for the goat.
If that does not help, we can progress to the Graduate solution. As Dustin Hoffman learns as the Graduate, " one word for you - audio mixdown".
Ok, so its two words and that isn't what they said anyway ... still, try to compress down the number of audio tracks (audio mixdown) to ease the computing demands on output. Also, make sure all areas where there is audio are covered by video - for example - put a black slug in the video track if you fade to black in an area where there is still audio running under.
If these don't work for you, it would help us enormously if you gave some basic info about your project. FCP version? Media type? VTR? compexity of edits? you know the stuff...
cheers

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 Audio

When I click print to video it records the video on to my camera but it won't record the audio. How do I make it record the audio?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Camera is a Canon GL2

What happens when you use Edit to Tape? Does that work? With your camera connected, try using the DV easy setup found in the FCP menu, and give it another go.

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.

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