Video edited, but can’t get it to tape
I’m using FCSTUDIO 5. First off, I know there’s something awry because whenever I try to export using Compressor, I get an error message that Compressor has to shut down. I’d rather not reinstall FCStudio (I’m assuming that’s the answer) before I get this video out of the machine, so my workaround was going to be just to import it to tape and then reinstall. However, that hasn’t worked.
I tried to play the video from the timeline, I tried Print To Video, and I tried Edit To Tape. I have PeachTree’s FCPro 5 book and know how to do each way, but no luck. On the GL-1 I see the bluescreen and the tape icon spinning. On the other, a Panasonic PV-GS19 (cheapy), I see just the red record button and a blue screen. that I’ve hooked the firewire up to. SO the cameras are recording, but nothings going in. FYI, I am able to log and capture into FCP with both cameras no problem, other then an occasional message that there is no preview available. ALSO, I am using the FIREWIRE NTSC Basic setting for my GL-1 (as per Applecare instructions).
Thanks in advance.

#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane’s Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows VideoTechinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can’t view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section
