Timecode in "Print To Tape" not matching

Hi,
Due to some specs I have my timeline's timecode set to start at 00:58:20:00 and did this via the user preferences. However when I go to "print to tape" the timecode (on the tape itself) reverts to 00:00:00:00. How can I "print to tape" AND have the timecode of the DVCAM match my timeline's code?
Thanks!

Yup Jerry, that is how I do it:
TC to DSR-11
Since FCP 4 we have been unable to stripe a new TC such as 00:58:00:00 or 01:58:00:00 to a DVCAM tape with the DSR-11. NO MORE!! I think I found a solution.
Get SimpleVideoOut from the Apple (its free):
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/SimpleVideoOut/SimpleVideoOut.html
Then create a QT Movie in FCP or Xpress Pro from a sequence which has the starting TC you want on the tape. I just tried it with 00:58:00:00. In the timeline, I just put Bars & Tone for 90 seconds and a black slug for 45 (to take me over 01:00:00:00). You could create a sequence with whatever combination you wanted with the TC set to start at whatever timecode you need for your choice. But the Timeline TC MUST be set to your desired starting code. The exported QT file will have this TC in it.
Then load this DV QT movie into SimpleVideoOut (having selecting Firewire / Apple Firewire PAL or NTSC when you open the app).
Now load a fresh DVCAM tape and set your DSR-11 to:
REC MODE = DVCAM
DV IN TC = EXTERNAL
(Have the TC display turned on for this first test so you can verify it has worked.)
Then just hold the REC and PLAY buttons together on the DSR-11 and press play in the SimpleVideoOut app and the new TC will be recorded to your DVCAM tape. Hey presto you are now able to stripe a tape with what ever timecode you want using a DSR-11.
Remember to turn 'DV IN TC' back to INTERNAL on the DSR-11 when you come to record your edit to tape.
The problem with the DSR-11 is that it is not the best deck and starting recording at the exact TC, but playing with the pre-rolls should eventually get it spot on. I have had some success with FCP's 'Edit to Tape' and very good results with Avid Xpress Pro after a few tweaks.
Also, if you just had a black QT file, you can change the starting TC to suite the tape; i.e. 00:58:00:00 or 02:58:00:00 etc without going back into FCP or Xpress Pro and rendering out another QT. To do this, just use Sebsky Tools to alter the starting TC of the file.

  • Printing with Canon printer, colors do not match at all... Help

    Hello there, I have a Canon pixma 4300, every time I print somthing with a logo or a picture on it, the colors do not match.
    Is anyone else having this problem?
    Is there a new driver or a solution to this problem, this, seems to me, is really abnormal.

    This is a common problem, and it is very hard to get a complete colour match, between any printer and the screen, due to the differing nature of the way both create their colours.
    First off, you should check that your printer is properly calibrated with the correct ICC profile, and make sure your screen is also calibrated. Fur more info on this there is a PDF which explains it in more detail (Written for Tiger, but the principles are the same with Leopard.
    http://images.apple.com/pro/pdf/ColorMgmtinTiger.pdf
    sRGB would be a good starting point, as most printers can handle this profile. Also, you did not mention how different the colours were? If for example yellow is printing an off yellow/brown or yellow/green, then it is definately the colour profile, if it is printing yellow as red, well then that is something else entirely.
    Hope this helps, as chances are, the printer is not faulty, it just isnt set up right. Also, your images stand a better chance of printing correctly if they are created in the CMYK colourspace, not RGB. Especially true of logos.

  • Final print size does not match screen view.

    Hi
    I am having problems getting my final prints to match the screen view.  Most recently I have had this problem:  I have an image that is sized to 5X7.  I have it on a 5X7 template in the print module of Lightroom.  The image dimensions in Lightroom say 5X7.  I print on 5X7 paper (I actually measured it to be sure).  ON the screen they look perfect, match the the templates and measure out fime with the onscreen rulers.  Without fail a portion of the print is cut off on the final print.  The long side of the print is the most effected.  This is not just limited to 5X7's, it happens across the board.  Is this a common problem or I am I doing something wrong?  In the 5X7 example above the print comes out 5.2 X 7.3 give or take.  I am using Lightroom 5.3 on an iMac running OS 10.9.1.  The printer is a Canon Pro 100. 
    I welcome any help with this.
    Thank you
    Joe

    If the problem is that the printed image is being scaled larger, this is a very common side effect with borderless mode settings in print drivers. Typically, (though sometimes you can prevent this where alternative borderless options are given) - an extra unrequested scaling % ensures that any physical mis-registration or inaccuracy of the paper size, does not leave any accidental white edges.
    That's nothing to do with LR's end of the process, if so.

  • Numbering in printed output does not match that in source after about 500 pages (RH 7)

    Hi There,
    I have just upgraded to RoboHelp 7 and have created a new
    word template. As with the HTML source I work with, this template
    has a numbered style called "step" which has nothing much special
    about it.
    I just published a word doc (*.doc) and noticed that - at
    around pg 500 in the output doc - the numbering stops matching that
    in the source document: each topic in the source doc starts at 1,
    but after a cut-off point in the printed document each numbered
    step starts to continue the preceding list (so if one topic ends
    with numbered step 15, the next begins with numbered step 16).
    I have compared the source files for topics that are "as
    expected" and "not" and I cannot see any difference between the
    HTML therein.
    Has anyone else seen this / is there any known solution?
    Thanks,
    Chrissy

    I can make the numbering correct throughout by selecting to
    output not as a single document, but as separate chapters compiled
    into a single master document.
    This is not ideal, but is a satisfactory work-around. If
    anyone knows any better solution, please reply!

  • Printed PDF does not match what is on screen

    Not sure this is the right place to post (have just posted on Adobe's equivalent of this - belt and braces), but I am having an issue with PDFs when printed vs. what they look like on screen.
    In short, when they are printed, it is as if there are some margins someplace that result in the printed image being reduced in size. I do not know if this is an issue with Acrobat Reader 5 on OSX, an issue with how Reader is reading the PDF, or what, so ideas would be welcome.
    The PDF's are being created in Illustrator 9.x running under Classic and there are no margins coming through from that application (they have been removed, just in case). I know that upgrading to OSX versions would be smart, but it is very expensive and the PDF, if it lives up to its name. ought to behave properly!
    I am looking at this MO, because my OS9 compatible printer died recently and there are no drivers for OS9 for the new one, so i cannot (reliably) print directly from the OS9 apps to the new printer, hence going via PDF. The problem was present with the old printer as well, but as I could go direct from the apps to that, it didn't matter.
    Happy to clarify further if needed.

    Try using the "classic" PrintToPDF @ http://www.jwwalker.com/pages/pdf.html
    This way you will be creating a PDF file using classic instead of OS X's Print To PDF.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Printer colour does not match screen colour in Adobe 9, but does with Adobe 7

    I have just upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.  My colour documents look
    different when printed from 9 than when they do printed from 7 even when the same document is printed on the same printer from the same computer.  What settings do I need to change in 9 so that the documents print out the same?  For example, in one document I have dark blue sky which is fine in 7, but prints out as deep purple sky in 9.  On screen it is dark blue when viewed in both 9 and 7.  All help greatly appreciated.  Thanks

    The same document prints our perfectly from Adobe 9 on another colour printer so the problem is obviously between Adobe 9 and the original printer.  The original printer is due to be replaced shortly so we will not try to resolve this issue.  Thanks for your help.

  • Printed colors do not match those on screen

    I understand that display colors can vary greatly from those printed. I created a file in CS5 at 355 ppi from text and shapes, no photos. The colors are not printing the way I expect. Just checking to see if there might be a setting I may have wrong? I am using a Epson Stylus Photo R1800 printer to print on Epson Ultra Premium Luster Photo paper. The colors are printing much darker than displayed on my Mac.
    My settings:
    Profile: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
    Under Convert to Profile in the Profile section: Working RGB - sRGB IEC61966-2.1
    Thanks for any tips.

    Stan,
    If your final output is inkjet print, it is better to work in a larger RGB space, like AdobeRGB.  CMYK is specifically for four-color process press... like for magazines. Most all desktop inkjet printers are RGB devices: they use RGB numbers to print, not the CMYK info. If you are not intimately involved in the commercial offset printing world, stick to AdobeRGB (or even sRGB) as a working space. You can soft-proof to your destination (the Epson paper you mention) to see any color change.
    So, with that in mind, follow the steps outlined in the Epson guide and Russell Brown's video I posted and see if choosing the correct settings in printing dialog makes a difference. (Also look into buying a calibration device. Proper Color Management begins with a good monitor profile.)
    please post back.

    EDIT
    I am saving as a .PDF and printing from MAC OS Preview.
    Just saw that. Do you have the correct paper chosen in the Print Settings? I don't have much experience trouble shooting Color Management problems printing from Preview. What happens when you print from Reader, Acrobat or Photoshop?

  • Printer output does not match Print Preview

    I'm just starting out with this and did a layout of some photos I took with captions. Using File>Print and then clicking "Preview in the resulting dialogue box shows that everything fits on the sheet of paper. HOWEVER, after printing the page, the bottom is cut off. What is the problem? The printer is an HP DeskJet 5150. As a work-around I've started doing the layouts as if the paper is 8" x 10".
    Also, what does the "Soft Proof" check box do in the Print Preview window?

    OK romad, the memory problem isn't the Macs but it could be the printers. I have seen this many years ago.
    You could also create a test page with one long line from top to bottom and print it. Does the problem still show?
    Does it happen if you print a full page photo from i.e. iPhoto directly.
    Do you still have AW on this machine? can you paste the content of your problem page into an AW page and print? What is the result?
    Somehow we need to do tests to pin down from where the problem is emanating from.
    I agree that AW does have a lot that isn't implemented in iWorks, but there are other features that are much better in Pages.

  • Colors in print preview not matching colors in soft proofing

    Hi There,
    Just wanted to print a new photo and realized that the colors in print preview do not match the colors in soft proofing. In both cases I selected the same icc profile and rendering method. The print colors matched the colors in print preview. I never had a problem so far. All new prints will be checked with soft proofing and adjusted when necessary. I never paid attention to the color rendition in print preview and all prints perfectly matched the colors from the soft proofing. I was surprised when my print came out of the printer and the colors weren't matching the soft proofing colors, but that of the print preview.
    I don't understand why Photoshop renders the colors differently in the first place. Please see attached screenshot for the difference in the blue/cyan colors.
    I would appreciate if anybody could point me in the right direction in what is causing this difference. I don't care if the print view colors will match the print, but I do care when soft proofing is not working.
    Thank you.
    Best regards,
    D.

    Here are some addtional details:
    PS 13.1.2
    Mac OS X 10.8.4
    12 GB Ram
    60 GB free disk space
    I printed the same photo from two other computers (MacBook and iMac) with different PS versions (CS4 and CS5). The prints turned out identical to the first one which matches the print preview color rendition on my main computer (MacPro) running CS6. Strangely the colors in print preview of CS5 on the iMac renders the colors identical to the soft proofing colors.

  • Print Res Unchecked, Image does not match native resoltuion

    Many of my images already have their resolution and height/width dimensions set in PS. My understanding is that when the print resolution checkbox is unchecked in LR, then the image should be at its native resolution and size and will print the same size as when printed from PS.
    However, I find that when I uncheck the resolution checkbox, the image size as shown in LR Print module does not match the native resolution and size. For example a psd file in PS CS3 shows an image size of 16 x 10.25 @ 200 ppi. In LR the same image shows a print size of 15.3 x 9.81 @ 209 ppi. I have checked both tif and psd files, and similar discrepancies exist.
    I wonder if I am doing something wrong or misunderstanding something? Thanks for your help

    That was Page Setup, sorry (which actually opens a Print Setup dialogue, at least on a PC). There you can choose printer and paper size. Then in Layout panel you choose how to arrange the picture(s) within the page, and the combination of the two will determine the print size, right?
    Anyway, I believe I understand your concern now, which is about printing at 100% of the size indicated by the TIFF or PSD file, as PS can do. I did not find a way to direct LR to do the same.
    The Print Resolution, when unchecked, doesn't behave like you expect. If you check it, LR will re-sample the image to print it at the resolution you indicated there, whatever the output size. If you un-check it, LR will not re-sample the image; still it will re-size it based on your Page Setup and Layour settings, and the printer driver/printer will do the needed re-sampling. At least this is my understanding.

  • Timecode problems when Printing to tape HDV sequence

    I have a project fully edited in HDV format and I want to make a master on tape to archive. I have done this before with no problems but now I have an odd issue. After FCP has printed to tape and I review the footage on the deck (camera is the recording device). The picture is on tape and looks fine but the timecode is not function properly. Instead of running continuously it freezes and then will skip forward some. Again the picture is there and looks fine. I have switched out the decks and the tapes and tried it 5 times but with the same results. What makes this more odd is the first hour of footage runs properly and then after that the problem starts.
    I played back other projects like this that I did the same way and the timecode runs correctly. This is a very odd issue and hoping someone else has seen this before and can help. Thanks!

    Try exporting the sequence as a self contained movie, then try recording that. My guts say the HDV you're working with is just not allowing your CPU to keep up with it all, and TC might be where this is showing up. But a single file playing back would make things easier on your system all round, and it's lossless. File/Export/QT movie... then check on make self contained, and leave off recompress all frames. This is lossless quality wise.
    Sure it's not just dirty heads or something on your recording devices? LIkely not, but it's a shot in the dark from here.

  • 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).
