Printing To Video Nested Sequences

This is a basic question I'm sure, but I just need to know...
My first time nesting sequences. When I print to video, how do I make sure that only those nesting sequences get printed? In other words, on my timeline I have my 7 original sequences, and then a master sequence that contains all 7.
Am I correct that by opening that master sequence and then going about the print to video function, only that master sequence will print?

The master sequence will print with the nests that it contains. Make sure you render and mixdown each nest as well as the master sequence.

How to print to video multiple sequences

I currently utilize FCP4 HD. How can I print to tape/video multiple sequences without nesting?
G4 Power Mac Desktop Mac OS X (10.3.9) FCP4 HD

David,
I respectfully disagree. I call 'nesting' the merging of all clips in a selected group into one quasi-clip (Sequence->Nest Items). Sort of like like merging layers in Photoshop with the difference being that in FCP you can still access individual clips or layers in a nest by double-clicking to open the nest in it's own Sequence.
You can apply a filter globally to a nest by dropping the filter on the nest - the filter will affect every clip within the nest. You can't do that with the copy & paste method.
The copy & paste method doesn't merge anything; all clips and layers remain as they did in the Sequence from which they were copied.
Calling that method 'nesting' would only serve to confuse people because they are two distinctly different actions and treated differently by FCP.

Can Print to Video HDV sequence

Hello, I am trying to export an HDV sequence to a miniDV tape for broadcast. I am using a Sony GV-HD700 tape deck. I am using Print to Video and it just wont work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I am having this same problem, and need help urgently. Does anyone know how to resolve this? I can control the deck through FCP and the FireWire cable, and can even initiate automatic recording from FCP, but once it starts playing the content the deck freezes and does not actually record anything.

Print to video / HDV sequence

I am about to export a hdv sequence to my z1.
I have to make a master tape for broadcasting.
I normally export my commercial hdv work to mpeg2 and make a dvd....
To make a master tape for tv broadcast I need to make a dv camtape.
How do I create a dv cam master with the right 16;9 aspect ratio and the leat quality loss?
I understood that I can not use edit to tape. So print to video is my only option....
I thought of first rendering the hdv sequence to an appropriate format.
Which format should I choose. Is pro res an option?
Any expert out there.
Advice hightly appreciated.
thnx
xx
Jane

I think what you should do is put the HDV sequence in a DV sequence, then after rendering just lay it out to tape. You could also send it to compressor for the tranfer, but don't think there's much difference if any, in quality. It should end up letterboxed.

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

Help urgently needed with edit to tape / print to video error

I have tried to edit to tape and print to video a sequence (0my whole project, worked for way too many nights to let go... so frustrated and sad right now because it doesn't work.
The project is saved on an extern harddisk, my harddrive on teh pc is too full (not big enough).
My camera and FCP connects but all the time I get an error that 'the tape may be locked' . AND I HAVE TRIED WITH DIFFERENT TAPES, none of them were locked!
I am not really sure how to set the camera in this VTR mode... I have tried in the settings to set it in webcam mode... and I have tried without... and I dont have a button or setting called VTR, only a *PLAY' option or a 'FILMØ option....
My A/V settings are FireWire PAL and DA PAL 48khz ... however have no ide what that means or if these should be changed...?
I checked from apple but cannot find my DV cam on the list... hmm, does that mean I cannot do edit to tape recordings???
My Dv cams informations:
NV-GS140 by Panasonic, Model 0x80330B, 0x804580114B5DD1
I checked the system settings and was able to the FireWire/NV-GS140 Unit
I have a MacBook1,1 / Intel Core Duo/ 2 GHz
OS 10.4.11
I use the version FCP 2
Please help me out, I am really without any good suggestions how to proceed!

You're going to have to use a dvd authoring program. Burning the seq to a dvd qill just create a qt movie on a dvd data disc. It won't create a dvd video disc that plays in a dvd player.
Export from fcp a QT movie, current settings, self-contained. Use Anamorphicizer (http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Video/Anamorphicizer.shtml) to make imovie recognise it as 16:9. Then import that file to idvd.
Or you can drop your 16:9 sequence into a new 4:3 sequence to letterbox it, then you can do the export as above but skip the anamorphicizer step.
It's better to use compressor on the original 16:9 sequence and then use dvdsp to author, but if you've never used dvdsp it's a big program to get your head round.
The export can be done in two ways;
1. Export from fcp using 'export using compressor'.
2. Export a QT ref/self-contained movie and import that into compressor.
3. Export a QT movie and import it direct into DVDSP.
The second option will take longer initially (if you use the self-contained option) but will then allow compressor to work in the background, the first option will tie up fcp for the duration of the encode.
Once in compressor use one of the 16:9 dvd presets, depending on the duration of the movie and the quality you want. Don't try to adjust the settings. If your movie is 31 mins just use the shortest option (i think it's 60min) and make sure you select the m2v video and ac3 audio options. If you just select the mpeg 2 video you'll only get video, as you've discovered.
Open dvdsp and create your opening menu and a video track, import the movie file, add it to the video track, and then add the audio to the track as well. Then add any chapter submenus you may want.

Print to Video question

Hi,
My edit sequence in FCP is 720x486. I went ahead and black & coded a DV tape to the same resolution. Now, when I try to do a Print to Video, I only get the audio outputted, and not the video! Not sure what is going on. Can I not output a 720x486 sequence to a DV camera?
J.
G4 Dual 533 Mac OS X (10.3.8)

The issue is that I cannot render this file, since it has a Line21 information (Closed Captioning). Rendering it will get rid of that stream.
I created a 720x486 sequence in FCP, brought in my 720x480 DV video, overlayed my Line21 movie on top of it (which is at 720x486).
We were told by MTV that they need a Beta SP tape, so I was hoping I could just Print to Video the sequence on a DV tape, and then hand that off to someone to dub to Beta SP. I guess that was very naive of me.
Do I have to just go straight to a Beta SP deck from FCP??
Thanks;

Time remapping a nested sequence results in black/empty video

Hey!
I have a long sequence (47 minutes), which I wish to time remap (to increase the speed at certain Keyframes). I have therefore nested the sequence into a Master Sequence, where I perform the time remapping. However I experience what appears to be a weird bug: At a certain frame the video turns black/empty and stays that way - even though the original sequence still has video material.
It doesn't help splitting the clip (nested sequence) up in smaller clips and time remap those individually - the empty frames just appear earlier in each clip.
Export works fine
When I export the sequence as Media, the output seems fine however.
I hope, that you are able to help me or tell me, if I'm doing something wrong.
Thanks in advance!
Hardware info
I work on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014).

it depends on how powerful the video card is, and how many accelerated effects are being used. it might slow you down a little, or alot. if you have an intel graphics, they arent very powerful to begin with, basically just good for browsing the web. however premiere tries to use them and they cause lots of problems. im not sure if its premiere or intel thats causing the problem, but they dont play nice together. if you have the nvidia version macbook, you might have opencl or cuda available in the renderer menu. if it was on opencl, could try cuda, or opencl if it was on cuda.

Video effects not working on nested sequences in Premiere Pro CS5

Hi -
I am having some trouble with Premiere ProCS5. I have a project with a few clips which I put together in one sequence. I put this sequence into another sequence. There I will add one or two tracks of additional images and apply color correction.
The problem is: None of the video effects I drag onto the sequence (which now is a nested sequence) have any effect. Whatever I change in the effect controls will not sho up in the monitor. Audio effects do work, though. Furthermore, none of the tracks above the nested clip are displayed. To clarify: The nested track is on V1, another clip is on V2 and an image is on V3. Only V1 gets displayed.
I know this is supposed to work and it actually does in another project created in the same version on the same machine with the same kind of material. But no matter how often I create a new project, applying video effects to a nested sequence just does not work.
Even more strange is the fact that my applied effects DO show up in the "Export Settings" window. They DON'T, however, in the final rendered file. I would suggest this is a bug.
What could be the reason for this behaviour?

It can help if you Toggle Track Output to ON. The visibility icon on the left side on each track.

HDV Print to Video Problem

One of my clients is having a problem trying the Print to Video an HDV sequence.
The workflow is to capture their HDV clips as DVCPRO HD via an Aja Kona LHe, edit in DVCPRO HD, then send the project to another facility that has an HDCAM deck for mastering to tape. However, for their first edit, they've created the pilot show, and they want to use it to get more program sponsors. Their only option is to use their Sony HMV-M25U HDV deck and an HD monitor to show the pilot to prospective sponsors.
To do that, they now have to output the pilot show to HDV. They've copied the DVCPRO HD sequence into an HDV timeline and rendered and conformed it. But when they go to Print to Video, they get this error message:
"Unable to perform print to video operation for HDV as
RT Extreme is not supported. Improved CPU Speed
and/or RAM needed to enable RT Extreme and HDV print
to video."
They have a Quad 3GHz MacPro with 4GB RAM, and the Scratch Disk is a 2-way RAID stripe using two of their four internal SATA drives striped together. The boot volume is on a separate drive.
They are using Mac OS X v10.4.8, QT 7.1.3, and FCP 5.1.4.
I don't have an HDV deck to try to duplicate their situation, so I need your help. If you've done HDV and experienced this error message, what is the solution?
They also have received these error messages:
"The sequence is not compatible w/HDV print to video."
"Incompatible settings. You may have attempted to
output a clip w/compression settings that do not match
the current output settings. Try nesting the clip in
a sequence w/the correct settings."
Both those messages would seem to indicate their setting are messed up.
They are 1,000 miles from me, so I can't see their FCP and deck settings. They swear that the sequence is an HDV 1080i60 sequence and that the deck is set to record HDV.
HELP.

OK, I have discovered the problem, and it's a doozy.
Her HDV sequence was set for 1280 X 1080, HDV 1080 Compressor, rather than 1440 X 1080. We have no clue how that happened, but it did.
Here's what I had her do last night when she was creating it: She changed the Easy Setup to HDV 1080i60, then created a new sequence. Then she went to the original DVCPRO HD sequence and did a Command-C to copy, then back to the new HDV 1080i60 sequence and Command-V to paste.
This morning, after I discovered the 1280 problem, I did the exact same steps and the new sequence was 1440 X 1080 HDV. I called her and had her do the exact same thing again, and now that new sequence is 1440 X 1080 HDV.
She is now rendering and conforming. I had her make sure ALL of the render bars were checked in Sequence > Render All, and that she chose Both audio and video. This should do it.
Now, the really tough part. I've got to re-read the thread and choose only two Helpful posts. Why can't we have as many as we need??????

Printing to video error

I am using the latest version of Final Cut Pro. Whenever I finish a video, I print it back to a DV so I have an original. It continues to play on the computer and I do not see any errors when it plays on the computer. However, sometimes on the DV, the audio cuts out and sometimes both audio and video cuts out, but then comes back. Sometimes both audio and video come backa and sometimes only video.

Rebecca, would you mind elaborating on your hardware setup? You list your machine as a G4 - does that mean PowerMac, PowerBook, iMac, eMac, iBook?
Where does your media reside? (internal drive? external drive?) Please speak on how large - and how full - your media drive(s) is/are as well. What else - if anything - is on your FireWire bus? (how many hard drives? any other devices [like an iSight or an iPod]?)
Also, how are you getting back to tape? Print To Video? Edit To Tape? Or are you simply outputting from Timeline?
Are the two dropped frame warning in your User Preferences - 'Report dropped frames during playback' and 'Abort ETT/PTV on dropped frames' - checked? (If not, try a Print To Video with the warnings enabled.)
While I think this is some type of hardware issue - since you're not getting errors from within FCP - but if it is an FCP issue, speak on the contents of this sequence - any nested sequences, or large still images, or 44.1khz audio files that could cause drop outs like that?

Media Encoder CC 2014 using cached versions of Precomps in AE and Nested Sequences in Premiere?

I'm seeing this weird thing where Media Encoder is using older versions of certain assets when exporting a Premiere Pro CC 2014 sequence. I'm seeing issues with nested sequences...Media Encoder uses an old version of a linked AE comp or it doesn't render a certain video track. With linked AE comps...I'm seeing Media Encoder use an earlier version of a precomp within the main comp.
When I look at the video in the Export Settings dialogue in Media Encoder, the old version of the AE comp shows .
If I look at the Export Settings dialogue in Premiere, it's up to date and looks right.
Anyone dealing with this or found a workaround? Thanks!
Calvin

I don't think I'd call this issue expected behavior...at best it's anticipated behavior that's going wrong. The only reason I wouldn't call it expected behavior is because what I'm seeing is AME reverting to a cached state on a FRESH LOAD of a sequence to render directly from Premiere. Basically, AME isn't open...sequence looks fine in PPro...load into AME via PPro export...look at export settings dialog in AME and note that the sequence is the old/cached version. So, it's not like the export was already in AME and THEN I made changes in PPro. It appears AME might be incorrectly identifying the newly imported sequence for export as an older, cached version.
However, I didn't get a chance to test your original solution so I'll try that the next time I see it happen. I also fixed the issue by clearing out the media cache and databases. NOT an elegant solution at all and TOTAL overkill...but it did work.
Thanks for the links!

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.

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
