    OK–I got everything done. Thanks! But I want to print the project to video and am not having any luck. My camera is in VCR mode, I go to print to video and click OK, it looks like it’s working (i.e., the video starts running) and the tape starts running. But when I play it back there is nothing but black for the whole time (4 minutes). Any thoughts?

    Don’t you have to hit play & record on the camera to record the output? 🙂

    I swear on Jesus’ sweet and holy name I have done those very things. It looks like it might be recording. The camera is running and it says “REC” in red on the view screeen, but I still get nothing.
    Tell me this, should I be able to see what’s being recorded on the camera’s view screen while the project is being recorded?

    I figured it out. It turns out it wasn’t so simple as just turnning the camera. I had to manually switch off AV to DV on my camcorder. At least that’s what I think worked. Of course when I tried to do it “wrong” on purpose to see whether that was the problem, it worked without my switching it. But then I manually put AV to DV on and tried, and it didn’t work, which is to say what I was trying to do in that moment worked.
    It’s all so simple.
