  exporting to DVcam tape

  Posted by Nancy Smith on December 12, 2007 at 7:00 pm

  I am exporting to tape with a Premiere Pro 3 to a DVCam machine. We are a school and some of the material has been edited on 6.5. There are 2 issues:

  1. Hooking the computer and the DVCam together with a 6pin to 4 pin firewire, the DVcam sees the video but can’t get audio. The only way to get audio is to use Print to Tape.
  2. Then when we use print to tape, it records for a few seconds, hits one of the titles from our 6.5 system (an AVI imported into the new system) and stops the DVCam machine, which then has a Copyright Violation error.
  What is going on? If our DVcam could get audio we could just plunk the machine into record but it won’t. We’ve switched the DVCam from 32 bit to 16 bit audio and that hasn’t helped.

  I’m not sure why the deck stops during the print to tape… that could be many reasons…

  But to get audio out to the machine while playing back the timeline and edting for that matter:
  1. Project> Project Settings> General..
  2. Click on the Playback Settings…
  3. Realtime Playback, Tick Desktop video display…
  4. External Device… DV (whatever your deck is)
  5. Mark the dot in “External DeviceAudio”

  You won’t hear the playback on the computer with this setting but it is going to the deck/camera.

  Make sure Export… External Device is set to your DV deck too.
  That should help it export to tape properly… there could be other reasons why the deck stops though. There is a switch on the back that could be causing an issue i forget what it’s called….

  Hope this helps.

  [suttonbaymedia] “1. Hooking the computer and the DVCam together with a 6pin to 4 pin firewire, the DVcam sees the video but can’t get audio. The only way to get audio is to use Print to Tape”

  1. If you are trying to tape the realtime playback from the timeline you need to go into the Project Settings->General->Playback Settings and make sure the sound is set to play to the external device vice desktop.
  [suttonbaymedia] “stops the DVCam machine, which then has a Copyright Violation error.”

  2. You have to carefully check to make sure someone didn’t use any material ripped from a DVD or other protected source as only a couple of frames will trip a copyright fault, most cams are this way.
