Print to Video Issues
Good evening everyone,
I’m trying to do a print to video recording. My MBP recognizes my HVX, and it actually records all the audio for the 30 sec spot; the problem is it’s not recording the video. It’ll record the first second of bars, then it’s if the firewire/video transfer can’t keep up with output of the timeline. Prior to trying to recording, I can scroll through the timeline and see the entire video on the LCD of the camera, it’s only when I try and record, I loose the video signal. Humm……?
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Jason -

What format are you working in?

HD 960×720. The kicker is, is that is has to be 4:3 for broadcast and transferred onto Beta SP. I have a very simple system and have to go elsewhere for the Beta transfer.

Why don’t you take the finished file over to a dub house? You can’t do this to tape if that’s what you’re trying to.

Or
I may have to do it all a a dub house. Any recommendations in San Diego 🙂
Thanks,

Sorry, I don’t. But I am sure there is a service out there to layoff your project for you.

One last thing… my last message was partially deleted….
What about using Compressor to down-convert and crop to the final video? I guess it would then end up being a 4:3 letterbox? And if so, then could I edit to video in FCP6?

Do you have a Beta deck and a capture card to lay this off with? If not, just take the exported self contained HD movie to the dub house.

Not speaking from experience here, but … if you’re trying to print an HD sequence to a miniDV tape, then that poses a real problem. MiniDV is okay with 48k 16-bit audio, so that could be why it’s showing up.
Just a thought: Export the sequence using compressor to DV codec, then re-import the spot, and open the DV spot in a DV timeline, print to tape, see what happens.
