    is it possible to put your compostion to a tape in AE. FCP does it under Print to tape, and Avid under Digital cut. What about AE?

    No. Avid and FC are editing software, which is capable of making render files that can be played back in the comp. AE does not do this, AE renders to RAM when playing the video in the comp. Previews in AE are very limited because of this.

    Just render from AE, import to the edit suite of your choice, then print to tape there.

    If you can RAM preview to FW, couldn’t you just hit record on your deck while the preview is playing? You’d need some decent timing, but you could do it. There is no “print to video” feature, per se, but if you can get the signal out via firewire, then you can record it.
