No TC when print to tape.
Hi,
Have a DV sequence and am trying to print to tape. I get no timecode recorded after printing. These sequences are non drop frame which I usually ( actually never) cut in. I think I have a setting placed wrong but can’t seem to find it. Any suggestions.
Thanks in advance. I appreciate any advice.All the best,

So you usually actually never cut in NDF? What do you mean?
Are you trying to match sequence tc to tape tc? What deck are you using? Please give more specific info…
-
what I meant is this is the first project I have cut in Non Drop frame on my system. The deck is the JVC BR-HD50 HDV deck.

Hi,
I am not trying to match TC to the deck. Just print to tape. But I am not getting TC recored on the deck from the sequence.
Thanks.

Nor will you. HDV decks cannot record like this. They cannot be setup to have picture start at hour 1 (1;00;00;00). HDV is an acquisition format only….not a delivery format.

Hi,
I am not be explaining myself well. I usually get the timeline TC printed on tape when I output using ” print to tape”
This time I am not. The difference is I am cutting in Non Drop and I have some clips that are drop frame in the sequence. perhaps my question should be. How can I convert clips in Drop frame to non drop or the reverse?Toss High and Stay in Step

You want to tc of your clips to be printed to tape? Why?

I don’t see how. That option never allows for that. EDIT TO TAPE does, PRINT TO VIDEO does not. And you need a deck that is capable of being controlled by FCP, and you need to stripe code to the deck first (first couple minutes). THEN you can assemble edit and get code to the deck.

That is just the timecode information. All DV runs at the same speed, 29.97. If your sequence is DF, then all the clips you put in it, DF TC or NDF TC…doesn’t matter, the timeline remains DF. Same with NDF. What you need to do is stripe a tape with NDF code (if you are outputting from an NDF timeline) and then you can edit to tape properly.
