preview on External monitor?

[Blast1]

Have you checked the Playback Settings in the Project-> General window to see if you still have export to DV device selected and it still sees the device.

i’m sorry..how would I know if it still “sees” the device?

I do have it set to export..but Im trying to see it while I edit…not exporting

Am I not making myslef clear?

You should haveDV 29.97 selected in both external device boxes in the playback settings, If you are sending video out of a computer for whatever purpose its called exporting

[alkaye] “i’m sorry..how would I know if it still “sees” the device?”
Open My Computer and see if you deck is listed under “Scanner and Cameras”
If its there, Open Ppro, when your project is loaded hit F5 which brings up the Capture window, Select the Settings tab, In the Device Control box at the bottom DV/HDV Device Control should be in the Device: Window, then select Options, if the settings are correct you should see online next to the Check status box.

avi is a generic term that covers a multitude of formats. DVD video is Mpeg2 which v1.5 has problems with unless you purchase a codec to use with Ppro. see https://www.mainconcept.com

also if have a question that is not a part of the current thread, start a new one, don’t hijack
