Record to DVCAM deck from timeline problem

I'm trying to record, via firewire, from my timeline to my DVCAM deck, but I can't because in the Preferences>Video/Audio Settings in Video Playback, there isn't an option at all for "Firewire NTSC," which is the option I need to send it to the DVCAM deck.  How can I correct this and record to tape?

Solution!  I went through my Matrox Mini, which includes a Firewire NTSC setting.

  • Can't record from timeline.

    Running latest ver of FCP Studio universal binaries edition & need to do a crash record from the timeline back onto deck for a guide tape for director to time his narration/commentary. Project is in HDV 1080i 25fps (work in UK)and I've had a huge headache the past few days trying to Print to Video too. Our deck is Sony HRV-M15E. This is what I've been doing so far -
    I set playback to Desktop cinema preview, View>all external frames, I press rec on deck, then Mark>play In to Out but each time I am just recording black. I've tried setting device control to both Sony 1080i firewire and SOny HDV firewire, but still no joy...My project A/V settings have all been HDV 1080i firewire (capture has been fine) but I finally got Print to Video to work today by changing device control to Sony HDV (which is a separate option). It took about an hour to conform a 22min sequence with only a few filters (all slo-mo) and all rendered & audio mixed down. Also I set the quality to low & it still took this long! Is this normal?? (First time working with this HDV codec). Anyway, I just want to knock off QUICK!!! lo-fi copies of programmes so the director can time his commentaries and recording directly off the timeline is what I need. Judging by my searches on this forum on HDV PTV probs I guess I'm not alone on this. Advice much appreciated, Alex.

    There is no way to just knock this off, quick...without a capture card. That will allow you to monitor your timeline in RT out to a deck. If you have the footage as Native HDV, and you are recording to an HDV camera or deck, the ONLY option you have is to PRINT TO VIDEO...and wait for the footage to conform. No way around that.
    And you need to set playback to FIREWIRE, not DIGITAL CINEMA PREVIEW. DCP sends a signal to your MONITOR, not deck.
    If you had a Matrox MXO, you could output simply by pressing record on the deck and play in the timeline. The quality wouldn't be FULL rez...for that you'd need to still conform (so Matrox tells me), but it will be pretty darn good.
    Sorry man....HDV is a beast to deal with.

  • Trial by fire.  Three camera fitness shoot. TC fed by DVCAM Deck.

    Hi all,
    I am embarking on a three camera shoot for two 90 minute fitness videos. The timecode will be fed to all three cameras by a DVCAM deck that we are also using to play the live music that the performers will be exercising to. This way all four sources (three cameras & 1 music) all have the same Time code.
    Although I see a million potential editing Gotchyas in this scenario (and there are probably a million more that I don't see), I only have one question at this time...
    Regarding FCP Capturing...
    Whenever the performers mess up and we have to rewind the music (DVCAM) and reshoot a section, the timecode (that FCP will need to read) on all three cameras will suddenly jump backwards by a few minutes. We will be very careful to pre-roll and post-roll the music before starting or stopping cameras so we do not actually BREAK the timecode, but the actual TC clock will be jumping backwards with every take. This seems like it might be difficult to capture for FCP... any thoughts?
    Thanks for your brainstorming.
    G5-2000MP, ATI 9800 Pro, 17 & 20 flat panels & PBG4 1.67   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Heya Zeb...
    No problem on the TC IN on the cameras. Panasonic AJ-SDX900.
    Regarding distribution of signal... feel free to point me in a direction... I have no idea and am on the hunt for just that piece of info.
    Regarding VTR: Sony DSR-45. Has TC out, I hope it only spits out TC when the tape is rolling.... otherwise my whole paradigm is a house-o-cards.
    Regarding logging and capturing:
    I assume that I am going to have to dust off my old fashion logging chops. Since I will have multiple instances of the same timecode on a single tape, I will probably have to manually set the in and out points and capture for each take. Then set the in and out points and capture the next take... etc.
    My DP is trying to convince me to use a smart-slate... we are going back-n-forth about the pro's and con's.
    A TC Generator will take care of many of the problems with the shoot, but it isn't the best answer as far as creating an editable (and more importantly, a re-editable) product. Remember, this whole thing is the equivalent of a three hour music video that is edited from probably about 20 hours of tape.
    The TC generator will sync the cameras together, but I will still depend on older visual methods to sync the video to the music. When you have takes that are 15 to 25 minutes long, it would kind of stink to have to drop a 20 minute clip into the timeline and sync it, just because I wanted to find a 1 second long b-roll cut at the 18 minute mark.
    IF, I can drive the entire shoot from a VTR that plays the performance music AND outputs timecode to three cameras.... seems to me that I will have hit a sweet spot for this type of production.
    The music, and videotapes from three cameras will be in sync. If I "media manage" the project to a storage drive (or just want to offfload 15 hours of unused footage) the remaining clips will all have the right timecode embedded so when my client wants another complilation video, I can move things around with the knowledge that they will be in sync by simply lining up the TC.

  • Can't Record to firewire deck...

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm having some major issues trying to record a DV-AVI file out to my DSR-11 DVCAM deck. If I try to export to tape in CS6 (not using a third party card) it will only play about 2 seconds then stop (the clip is an hour long), and CS5.5 on the same system plays it back fine for awhile before it drops the signal for a second or two,then picks back up again. I also see the signal dropping issue in CS6 as well.
    I've tried hooking up my DVX-100B to the firewire port, and it's getting bad looking stuff too. I've also tried re-installing the firewire port drivers...this is on a Z800 Windows 7, 24GB RAM.
    I seem to be able to capture fine - I used CS6 to capture the hour long program, but I can't get it to roll back out to another tape....didn't I go tapeless so I wouldn't have to deal with this stuff??
    Is there anything I should know about bugs regarding DV / firewire useage with CS6 and/or CS5.5 installed on the same machine?

    Okay - so after removing CS5.5 from my system, I've still got the problem.
    And when I tried to switch PPro from GPU acceleration to Software, I got this messgae:
    Premiere Pro has encountered am error [..\..\Src\VideoFrameFactory.cpp-233]
    And in the Event Window it said this - An input contract has occurred
    Can anyone from Adobe shed some light on this?

  • No out put from timeline

    I am using FCE 4.0 on my iMac and recording to a Sony GV HD 700. I have done this many times with no problem. Now I do not get any output onto the deck from the timeline when I try to record to tape or to print to video. Also the image on the iMac is much smaller than it should be. I believe the computer and the deck are communicating because I can capture from the deck. I think there must be some setting which has gone astray but I can't find it. Help, please.

    Wonderful. What a relief. I deleted the following attributes and the video is restored to normal size (except for a few stills which I will have to re engineer). I will also have to rework the audio a little.
    Video attributes - basic motion, crop, distort, opacity, drop shadow, filters, speed
    Audio attributes - levels, pan
    Thank you, thank you, thank you.
    Incidentally, I have your book on FCE 3.5 and it has been very helpful to me in many other situations.

  • Capturing Computer Activity on DVCAM deck

    I am looking to capture the activity on a computer for a seminar that we are shooting. Is there a tablet type device - PC or MAC - that anyone has used that allows for s-video, firewire, or composite outputs that can be plugged directly into a DVCAM deck (Sony DSR11 is what I have) so that I can just pop in a DVCAM tape, hit record on the deck, and capure everything that happens on the screen? It would need to have some type of tablet type functionality so that the instructor could "write on" the tablet and that activity would be captured on output.
    If anyone has created a similar set-up, I would be very interested to know.

    What kind of ports does the Computer have? If it has a Video out (like on some laptops) you could easily just hook up an RCA or S-Video cable from the computer to the Deck.
    You could also look into Converters. I have one for my laptop that converts the monitor out signal into an S-Video.
    Lastly, you could try doing a capture using a screen capture program. This will be much more taxing on the computer itself, and would be risky at best for long seminars, but it's possible (something like Snapz Pro).
    With any of those options, if you have the opportunity to test the setup now, rather than on site, that would be best <smile>.

  • Signals going to DVCAM deck but Audio/Visuals not going through

    Hello,
    I'm puzzled with a situation I'm going through right now. I'm trying to copy a footage to a DVCAM tape using the DVCAM deck (DSR-25) but it isn't working.
    1)Signal from FCP is going to the deck but visuals and audio aren't getting to the deck player/recorder. I say this because RECORD/STOP etc options from FCP gets sent to the deck properly (commands).
    2)I am recording through Print to Video... under FILE
    3)I have used GConverter (newest version) to convert a NTSC to PAL
    4)Other project have worked fine going through the same method and procedures, including the NTSC to PAL conversion.
    Currently, I can't come to any solutions except for perhaps re-recording and re-rendering, but if possible I would like to avoid that since that kills about 14 hours of time (although I'm starting it on another computer right now, just in case). I've tried everything I can think of including simple things like SHUTDOWN both the computer and deck, use different firewire cables, and so on.
    Anyone got suggestions I may be able to try or maybe an option I am over looking?
    Thank you in advance
    Message was edited by: djricekcn

    I can see the video on time lines including other things like the Viewer.
    I have changed cables just in case, but it's only it for this one project. Other projects doing/going through the same manner are working properly.
    Only thing I can really think of is something of the options isn't the same as others, but from what I can tell they are (like making sure that the Sequence is PAL and etc...even if it wasn't I should still get signal though) the same.
    I'm still fidiling around with it as I type this

  • Timecode via sdi from timeline

    I am a bit frudtrated seeing that i can not get timecode from timeline out via sdi to my pdw-hd1500. In fcp7 you can crash record straight to xdcam disc and the timecode comes right through the sdi. anyone have any thoughts? Thanks!

    I already have contacted them beforte you and they said from what they understand, premiere does not send timecode via sdi and they even had 3 technicians check into it and could not get it to work. So i'm at a standstill- with now both sides pointing fingers, and no resolution.- Are there any settings i may have missed? I had a bad feeling about getting answers on this issue. Is there anyway you may also make the "should be" a confirmed yes. I appreciate your attentio,time, and help in this matter. I am a recent adobe user, switching from fcp7 and avid previous to that. I was hoping to continue using premiere at my post house, but if this issue can not be resolved it will unfortunately be a deal beaker to our company.
    Thanks again

  • Adobe Media Server failing to record video if switched from play to record midstream

    The Adobe Media Server is failing to record video if switched from play to record midstream. It is an intermittent issue that happens randomly one out of every 30 attempts.
    Flash Runtime: Flash Player ActiveX 11.7.700.169 or Flash Player ActiveX 11.4.402.287
    Media Server: AMS5.0.1, also FMS4.5.5
    (The problem happens on both FMS4.5.5 and AMS5.0.1)
    The ActionScript is as follows:
    netstreamRoger.publish("719_Client","play");
    Then 1 second later:
    netstreamRoger.publish("719_Client","record");
    netstreamRoger is streaming out the video and audio data correctly, because there is another computer playing the stream 719_Client live. So the media server is forwarding the stream correctly when live. The bug is when you attempt to playback 719_Client.flv the file does not contain any video data. The file size is not zero, and the file is not corrupted, but the file size is smaller than it would be if it had saved the video in it.
    How do I submit this bug to the Media Server team, and how can I workaround this issue?
    Below is the log from the Media Server 5.0.1

  • Layer disappeared from timeline

    I'm creating some banners with Edge Animate for the first time.
    I started with the biggest one, now I need to create some more downscaled versions.
    Clearly the easiest and fastes way is to duplicate the edge project and modify the layers size position etc...
    Duplicating the project folder and changing the file name didn't work for me (gave error "edge can't read the html file"), so I managed to do it with "save as" and changing the "project1.an" name to a new one in a clean folder. When opened, Edge creates all the assets referencing the new name.
    Everything  ok until here, but then I noticed that the top layer "link" (it was a hidden clickable div with the banner link) has disappeared from timeline, but it's still present in the "elements" tab.
    The link was still working, then after a couple of cmd+return it disappeared also from the stage.
    I created a new rectangular div with the tool, but the new one is also not present in the timeline but only in the "elements" tab.
    Now I'm worried that this could cause problems on publishing or future edits. Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks for your help.

    Never mind, after this post I already found the answer.
    I had checked without noticing the button at the bottom of timeline "Only Show Animated Elements".

  • Creating DVCAM Master from HDV QT

    Hello all,
    I'm creating a DVCAM master from An HDV project, Which is the best way to get top quality. Should I be rendering in PRORES 422, and then using the Kona card, to downconvert?
    or should I use compressor to convert and if so what setting sdo you reccommend, or finally do I put it al in an SD timeline, render out and the export to Tape
    Any help would be most appreciated.
    Best wishes,
    Fred

    Try changing the render to ProRes... just select the sequence, then type cmd+zero to open it's settings... the setting is in the video processing tab.
    Then render, choose file/export using compressor...
