  • Edit to Tape via FW HDV

    Posted by Scott Sniffen on October 30, 2008 at 3:35 am

    I have a sequence which is XDCAM. Trying to print/edit via Firewire to a Sony HDV deck (U-15). When I try, I get an error saying sequence is not fit for HDV or something of that nature. Is it possible to print back to an HDV deck even though the sequence is all XDCAM? I did get it to execute and I was able to view it on the desktop but nothing printed to tape.

    Thanks,
    Scott Sniffen

    [Scott Sniffen] “When I try, I get an error saying sequence is not fit for HDV or something of that nature”

    Thats because to lay something to tape in HDV it must already be in HDV.

    Create a HDV sequence and nest the other one in it then render, you should hten be able to lay to HDV tape

    There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
    Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!

    Zane:

    Trying to create an HDV sequence and “edit to tape” to an HDV deck via FW. I seem to create the sequence, nest in the XDCAM sequence, but when I try to edit or print to tape, no communication is established. If I try edit to tape, FC tells me to change settings in A/V settings. Setting don’t jive, etc. I change everything but then I go to A/V devices under “different settings from sequence when printing to tape”, I cannot find and HDV FW option. The system will talk to the deck. I did manage to get the deck to roll but with no signal. Deck works fine in SD/DV mode.

    Lost,
    Scott
