Cannot export to tape from Premier Pro CS6 to my DVW-M2000P Digital Betacam deck

[Chris Borjis]

I know some folks have had difficulty with that and instead
use the free black magic capture/output utility to layback to tape.

You might check out Walter Biscardi’s site. I think he has had success outputing to tape using BM hardware. Come to think of it , it was to a HD deck.

thanks Chris and Tom

I tried using Blackmagic Media Express, again I am capable of capturing from my deck but when I want to export to tape after 10 seconds I get a message saying “the in point could not be located”
I wonder if I have the wrong setting on my Digital Betacam deck! Sorry I am a novice and any help is very much appreciated. thanks

[Chris Borjis]

that sounds familiar like in final cut pro when you don’t indicate
the in point timecode for where the layback begins.

Sounds like you might be missing a step.

Hi Chris, you were right, I was missing a BIG something 🙂
Basically I had to strip the blank tape before exporting to tape.
So I recorded black video for about a minute then reset the TC on the deck and all problems solved. I was then able to export to my deck.
thanks
