    Hi there,
    I have Adobe 6.0.
    I am able to export timeline to tape succesfully.
    However when I want to export it again, I wanted the footage recorded to erase what I already had recorded on a tape in my camera. However everytime I export timeline, it seems to insert a small black frame or video for about 1 second.
    I looked everywhere in the settings and cannot seem to get rid of it.
    Please advise.

    How are you managing the export? By playing the timeline? Or by using Print to Video?

    If the latter, then there is an option to set the amount of black before the program starts which defaults to 1 second. Could that be the cause?

    Hi there,
    I did Export Timeline – Export to Tape….
    Can you tell me how to change the default black space then?
    I don’t know where to go.

    In my Windows-based copy of Premiere 6.0 there is no Export to Tape. Nor in my Premiere 5.1 or 6.5 either.

    The Menu sequence to generate output to tape is File/Export Timeline/Print to Video. That brings up a box which invites you to set various parameters, including the amount of black before starting the programme. Having set the options, hitting OK starts the export process.

    Maybe you don’t have the same version of Premiere 6 that I do?

    Maybe you are not using this export method?

    The other way to get out to tape is just to play the timeline and initiate recording at the camera end, but that makes getting a clean start at an insert point less easy.
