  print to tape

  Posted by Andrew Paul bowser on May 14, 2007 at 9:31 pm

  Only my audio is printing to tape- does anyone know why my video isn’t running out to my camera?

  Gah! Of course I have a deadline!

  Thanks.

  #8 External Monitor Viewing.

  Shane’s Stock Answer #8:

  A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv

  Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.

  Then go View > External video > all frames
  Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
  Audio playback should be Audio follows Video

  Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV

  If for some reason you can’t view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:

  1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.

  2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.

  3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.

  4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.

  5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices

  6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed

  If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

  Please provide more info, what format you are working in, what deck, computer specs etc.

  It could be any number of things, a problem with the deck, a bad firewire cable (if you are going through a firewire cable you never said), it could be a corrupted preference file in FCP have you tried trashing your preffs.
