Premiere CS6 and Export to Tape
I’m currently evaluating Premiere CS6 in order to determine if it is a suitable FCP replacement for our edit facility, a couple things are concerning me however. We still need to be able to ingest and layoff to tape based media, mostly DigiBeta. I’m testing with a Kona 3 on a Mac Pro, and tape ingest, while clunky, seems to work. Laying back to tape seems functional, except that Premiere Export to tape does not appear to respect in and out points on the timeline, so I cannot insert say, a corrected shot back onto a tape, without laying the whole entire sequence to tape. Am I missing some setting, or is this correct?
Also, I need to be able to assign audio tracks on the timeline to tracks on a deck. Clients request things like channel 1 and 2, stereo mix, channel 3 and 4, SOT and M&E. I see how I can assign tracks to channels in the Audio Output settings, but only 2 channels are listed for “Default Line In/Out” and multiple tracks don’t seem to be able to be assigned to the same output channel.
Any insight by the Premiere experts here would be appreciated.Rob

Walter Biscardi has been testing this thoroughly. And from what I know of his testing, he still uses FCP to output back to tape as Premiere still has issues in that area.

Thanks Shane, so much to like about PP CS6, but some nagging issues
like this, that will probably push us back to Avid.Rob

Hi Rob,
You can choose what portions of the Timeline you want to export in 2 ways.
1. Adjust the Work Area Bar to the portion of the Timeline you want to export to.
2. Disable the Work Area Bar (from the Timelime panel fly-out menu) and set In and Out points to the portion of the Timeline you want to export to.
You can also assign different audio tracks to tracks on the deck. Try the following steps:
1. Create a new sequence – From the New Sequence dialog select the Tracks Tab
2. Within the Tracks tab, change Master from Stereo to Multichannel
3. Change the Track Type of all of the tracks needed from Standard to Adaptive – Click OK
4. From the Preferences menu select Audio Output Mapping
5. From the Map Output For pulldown menu choose>KONA 3 or whatever your card is
6. From there you can assign the appropriate audio tracksPremiere and AJA support up to 16 channels.
Hope this is helpful. Best,
