trouble printing to tape
When I export to tape I am getting pixilized video and no audio back to the tape. I am running FinalCut Pro HD 4.5. I have tried to nest the clips and mixdown the audio with no success. I have a project that will dump to tape and have checked all of the settings to make sure they were the same and have had no luck. I have also put filters on all of my audio clips to make it write new files and still no success…..please help!

Do a search for “master to tape”, “print to video”, and “dropped frames” and you will retrieve a ton of steps for trying to solve this problem.
Here are a few quick suggestions:

Ryan,
I also responded again to your post from yesterday, but Jason’s suggestion about exporting the QT self contained .mov and then importing into a new timline is an exellent one. I should have thought of that one as well.

How does it look on the video monitor? Do you still see the dropouts?
No Audio? Make sure the speakers are connected to the deck/camcorder.

It looks fine on the monitor. No drop out and all audio sounds fine. I’m using firewire to put back to tape. I know it’s not working when I dump back when the audio meters just don’t move during print to tape.

” I know it’s not working when I dump back when the audio meters just don’t move during print to tape.”
Don’t judge it by this. ONLY judge it by the image and audio you are getting from a TV or NTSC monitor you have connected to your camera/deck. Depending on the speed of your system, the meters might not refresh often (visually) and look like they are not moving.
