ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS3 405 User Guide To give your recording deck additional time before your video sequence starts and after it ends, add black before and after the sequence in the Timeline window. If you plan to have a postproduction facility duplicate your videotapes, add a minimum of 30 seconds of color bars and tone at the beginning of the program to aid in video and audio calibration. (See "Create color bars and a 1-kHz tone" on page 153.) 1 Connect the device to the computer, turn it on, and set it to VTR, VCR, or Play. 2 Start Adobe Premiere Pro, and open the project. 3 (Optional) If exporting to a DV (not HDV, HD, or analog) device from a project using a DV editing mode: a Choose Project > Project Settings > General. Click Playback Settings. b In the Export area of the Playback Settings dialog box, specify the appropriate format in the External Device menu. Choose one of the following settings, and click OK to close the Project Settings dialog box. DV 29.97i (720 x 480) Specifies NTSC DV, which uses a timebase of 29.97 fps and interlaced fields. DV 25i (720 x 576) Specifies PAL DV, which uses a timebase of 25 fps and interlaced fields. DV 23.976i Specifies DV 24P (24 progressive) or 24PA (24 progressive advanced), which uses a timebase of 23.976 and interlaced fields (that become progressively scanned frames using a pulldown scheme). 4 Close other programs that might be running on your computer. Your computer is now ready to export your sequence directly to tape. Export a sequence to tape with device control Before you export to videotape using device control, make sure that both the computer and the camera or deck are set up properly, as you would when capturing video with device control (see "Set up device control" on page 58). If you're using equipment that comes with its own software plug-in for use with Adobe Premiere Pro, it may provide device control options different from those described here, and in different locations. (For information, see the documentation for the device.) Before you can export a sequence to an HDV device, you must first transcode it to HDV format. Adobe Premiere Pro does this transcoding automatically just before exporting the sequence to an HDV device. Note: You can export to tape on an HDV device on Windows only, and only with device control over FireWire. 1 Make sure that your video recording device is on and that the correct tape is in the device. If necessary, locate and note the timecode for the location at which you want to begin recording. (This requires a tape recorded with timecode. See "Stripe tape or replace timecode" on page 70.) 2 Activate the sequence you want to export, and choose File > Export > Export To Tape. 3 To let Adobe Premiere Pro control your deck, select Activate Recording Device and do any of the following: • To specify a particular frame on the tape to start recording, select Assemble At Timecode and type the In point. If you don't select this option, recording begins at the current tape location. • To synchronize a device's timecode with the recording start time, select Delay Movie Start and type the numbers of frames that you want to delay the movie. Some devices need a delay between the time they receive the record command and the time the movie starts playing from the computer. • To have Adobe Premiere Pro roll the tape before the specified start time so that the deck can attain a constant speed, select Preroll and type the number of frames you want the tape to play before recording begins. For many decks, 150 frames is sufficient. April 1, 2008
