ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS3 406 User Guide 4 In the Options section, select any of the following options: Abort After Dropped Frames Ends export automatically if a specified number of frames is not exported successfully. Specify the number in the box. Report Dropped Frames Generates a text report alerting you to dropped frames. Render Audio Before Export Prevents sequences containing complex audio from causing dropped frames during export. 5 Click Record, or, for HDV devices click Render And Record. If exporting to an HDV device, a rendering dialog box will open with a progress bar showing the progress of the transcode to HDV. Typically, export to tape will begin when transcoding is about 50% done. 6 If you don't need to perform any more recordings after the Recording Successful message appears in the Status option, click Cancel to close the Export To Tape dialog box. Note: If you want to use device control but it's unavailable, click Cancel. Choose Edit > Preferences, click Device Control, make sure that your device is set up properly in the Device Control options, and click OK. Then try recording to tape again. Export a sequence to tape without device control You can export to videotape without device control by operating the playback controls in Adobe Premiere Pro and the recording controls on the device itself. Note: You can export to tape on an HDV device on Windows only, and only with device control. 1 Activate the sequence you want to export. 2 Make sure that the sequence plays back on your deck or camera. If it does not, review the steps for preparing for exporting to tape (See "Prepare for exporting to videotape" on page 404), or see the documentation for your analog device. 3 Make sure that the video recording device is in Record-Pause mode, and that the tape is cued to the point where you want to start recording. 4 Position the current-time indicator at the beginning of the sequence (or work area, as needed). 5 Press the Record or Pause button on the device, as needed to put the device into Record mode. 6 Press the Play button in the Program Monitor. 7 When the program finishes, press the Stop button in the Program Monitor, and then press Stop on the device. See also "Create an auto-play DVD or Blu-ray disc" on page 396 Creating motion-picture film If you intend to display your finished project on motion picture film, you should plan your workflow carefully. You may employ a matchback process, in which you shoot on film, transfer to video, and then conform the film negative to your edits. On the other hand, you may choose to shoot and edit using a video format (ideally, a high-definition format, and perhaps shoot at 24 fps to match theatrical film frame-rate) and transfer the finished project to film. In any case, you'll need to consider the important ways film and video formats differ-such as in their image resolutions, aspect ratios, and frame rates-and how to reconcile those differences.
