print to video
I’m trying to print a finished project to a DVCAM tape via a Sony DSR-11. The total timeline is approx. 20 minutes and it keeps crashing at about 16 minutes. Any ideas?
Thanks.

No external or secondary media drive? You’re running your media off your System Drive?
There’s your problem.

[Apple Annie] “it keeps crashing at about 16 minutes. Any ideas?”
A rule of thumb: if you keep having the same error in the same place, you’ve got a problem in that place. Check all of your audio, graphics & video at around the 16 minute mark. Odds are that something is corrupt or needs to be re-rendered there.

I actually have two external hard drives on the computer. Forgot to mention those.
Here is where I think I messed up. The media is saved in a folder in the capture scratch on an external hard drive. The sequence and the PTVTmpfiles are being saved in a folder under Render File on the Media HD on the system.
What do I do?

Simply reset your Media drives so Render is set to the external drive. Trash your Renders and re-render the project.

I had the same problem a couple of years ago, the computer was trying to put my firewire drive asleep. Go to your system prefences and check in the Energy Saver section, make sure you don’t have the computer going to sleep for a good long time, and uncheck the “put hard disks to sleep if possible” box
