Exporting to videotape or film About exporting to videotape You can record your edited sequence onto videotape directly from your computer, for example to create a master tape. When you start a new project, you specify the format and quality for the videotape in the Editing Mode area of the Project Settings dialog box. You can record a sequence directly to videotape on the following devices (decks or camcorders) as specified: DV devices on either Windows or Mac OS with a FireWire connection between the device and the computer HDV devices on Windows only with a FireWire connection between the device and the computer HD devices on either Windows or Mac OS, provided your computer has a supported HD capture card, with SDI or HD component connections. Capture and export of HD video also requires serial device control; check the thirdparty solution provider's manual for details. Analog devices on either Windows or Mac OS, provided your computer has a capture card, converter, camcorder, or deck that can convert your sequence to an analog format recordable by the device. Most DV, HDV, and HD cameras; all DV, HDV, and HD videotape recorders; and some capture cards and converters are capable of this conversion. Some digital camcorders require that you first record the sequence to their digital tape, and then playback the tape in the digital camcorder to make the dub to the analog video recorder. For device control while exporting to analog devices, you must have a device controller installed also. Many video capture cards include compatible plug-in software that provides a menu command for recording to videotape. If the options you see differ from those described here, refer to your capture card or plug-in documentation for the most efficient way to export to tape. Note: Before you export a sequence, make sure that all the clips it contains are online. See also "Set up device control" on page 58 Prepare for exporting to videotape Before you begin, make sure the recording device (camcorder or deck) is connected to your computer using a FireWire, SDI or analog connection. For some analog or HD devices, you may also use a serial connection, such as RS-422, if available, for device control. April 1, 2008
