  • Print to tape – HDV footage to DV tape

    Posted by Miguel Rafael on June 19, 2010 at 7:45 pm

    Hello,

    I´m a student from Portugal, and i’ve filmed a short-cut with the Sony Z1 in HDV 1080i50 and edited in final cut pro 7.

    The problem is that my teachers want the short-cut printed to a DV tape and not to HDV.

    I don’t know what is the best way to convert this.

    Can anyone help me with this problem?

    Thank you

    By DV tape do you mean mini DV tape? Because recording onto a mini DV tape is simple, and I’m unaware of many schools who work in ‘full’ DV tapes…

    You need to copy and paste your footage into a DV/NTSC sequence, RENDER, then PRINT TO VIDEO.

    Or…HDV can be played out as DV, I think. But not at good quality.

    Yes you can output HDV via firewire to DV but the quality is quite poor and no good for final output.

    In Portugal we use the PAL format. I’m going to give it a try this week. Thank you for the help!
