Thank you Walter.

Is there a reason not to just go from the timeline instead of doing edit to tape?

Thank you.

Hi Walter,

We are actually in 1080 Pro Res.

Think that would work?

Thank you!

I was using the standard “print to tape” function. This was for 25 minutes of HD video. The video was already fully rendered so I couldn’t figure out why it was taking another 45 minutes to print to tape (render) before it actually was ready to print to tape.

I am using a SONY HDW-D1800 deck and Kona card.

Thank you!

Thanks I’ll double check on that.

But what I’m really wanting to know is

is it faster to export from the internal drive or is it the same if exporting from the external drives with FW800

Well “writing video” is what it says it’s doing when I get ready to print to tape. But it is basically Rendering.
I actually render the project prior to print to tape so I can look it over and check for mistakes so that takes off the time it takes to Print to Tape.

I’m really just wondering if the process of Printing to Tape would be quicker if I were to do it from the Hard Drive on the G5 rather than from the Ext Drives hooked up with firewire800
