Are you ready? First of all, all you guys, even Shane, are amazing for all the effort you put into helping me. I wasn't trying to waste your time. I was really struggling with this. Liek all things, sometimes the solutions to problems are so simple they can be overlooked. Heres the deal: In the print to video dialogue box, start recording automatically is allby Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoPanasonic PV-DV951D The question at hand is how to output to tape with FCP using this camera. There seems to be no record button in site for this. But it can definitely do it because I accidently did it twice before.by Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoWould be cool if someone here had this camera. I am more interested in solving this mystery now than actually getting the edits done.by Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoI've searched the entire camera for 2 days,by Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoThe bottom line here is I lose. We all lose! This camera: Panasonic PV-DV951D did record twice and I have no idea how I did it. I pushed every dial in every combination a zillion times. There is no record button other than the filming one. Dean I did what you said, still a no go. I think the dropped frames may be because I only have 768 Ram. It may be that simple? Do you guys agree? I founby Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoHey man, I read everything all of you posted. I did everything you guys asked. Since this is my first time printing to tape, of course stripping is new to me. I do not see the record button you are talking about.by Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoHey Shane, I am obviously a beginner trying my best. There really isn't a need for this kind of attitude. I know how to edit, and I am used to making DVDs. I was fortunate enough to ask to do an infomercial for a local broadcast station that didn't require the highest standards. All I need to do is give them a tape of the edit and they are happy. Maybe you Shane were born with inherent post produby Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoBut the oddest thing of all, is while printing to video, the viewer of the camera plays the movie as if it is recording, but the tape heads don't move. I press the record button and it does nothing. Only when I switch on camera mode which will just film from the lens. Derek you are right, doing this online is unbearable.by Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoDerek and Shane: Did you lock the anti-record tab on the tape? Yes Is it a new tape or a used one? Both I have used. If you're using Edit to Tape, did you stripe timecode onto the tape before outputting? I have no idea how to do that, but for this broadcast they don't require it. Don't bother explaining it to me. It sounds way crazy! Did you hit an In point? Did you make sure theby Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoHey is the fact that it's journaled have anything to do with the problems? So what you are saying is that the dropped frame problem may be due to the firewire connection? Which means if I output to tape via the internal disk, it should go fine? I have 9 GB left of a 30 GB hard drive. Yeah I know my system sucks. I'm poor. Hopefully if I become a good editor I won't be. I made a DVD fine with iby Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoI'm running Final Cut 5.1.2 When I bought the drive I formatted it for MAC according to the instructions that came with the drive. It is a MAC OS Extended (Journaled). It is a 300 GB drive and I have 105.77 GB left. I don't know if its 400 or 800. All my render files or stored in the Final Cut Pro Documents folder on this external drive. Is it safe to dump render files, Thumbnail Cache, anby Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoOk I know I am being annoying. Sorry. Remember what it was like in the old days when all this stuff was like being blind in some sort of science fiction maze? Eventually I am sure I will help out some idiot lost like me. WAY in the future. I went back and discovered that the Panasonic PV-DV951D that I originally used did actually record to tape. How? I don't know what I did. It just got aborteby Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoWell I didn't have to pay for these cameras actually. I'm not that stupid. Is the Panasonic PV-DV951D compatible with FCP? It captures fine. I don't really have access to another Final Cut setup to take the quicktime file. This computer is a G4 with 768 MB of ram. I think I'll repair disk files and just get a deck. I don't see another choice at the moment. One more question, since I haveby Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoDerekmok, I have checked easy setup. It is set to DVNTSC. The sync issue is all of a sudden there is a skip, which is a dropped frame, then the audio and video goes out of sync due to the missing frame or skip. Via Quicktime movie everything is perfect. Is it possible that the hardrive needs disk repair? If so, can I do this now, or will it screw up my media files?by Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoI guess I'll just rent a deck then. Is it safe to repair disk utility for the external disk in the middle of a project?by Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoWOW I really appreciate you checking that out for me. There are no sync issues when saved to quicktime movie. Now is there any degradation when edited to tape via quicktime movie as opposed to printing to video?by Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoThat's it? Did everyone give up on me?by Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoI did all those steps. The camera I have just purchased is: Panasonic PV-GS39by Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoWell I went out and bought another camera and it still won't record, yet it plays it on the view finder. You asked my set up, I have a Maxtor firewire 300 GB drive. I have burned DVDs of this same sequence perfectly. I just can't seem to edit to tape. Maybe it is possible these camera are not made for this? I don't have anyone to go to for help really. I don't have any editor friends. Bby Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoI do not have a deck. I am using a camera because that is all I have. On VCR mode this camera will not record. Is it supposed to? If so my camera is broken which makes me double ******! Isn't a crash edit the total rookie move? I don't know why the experts here are telling me to do this. I am not being sarcastic. Many of you are actually experts. If a crash edit involves recording on VCR mode mby Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoPlease help!!! Seriously I am in dire need. This has to be done by Monday and it's driving me to the point of about to smash my camera into pieces. It is dropping a frame and going out of sync. I really need help with this.by Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoIs it possibly something to do with memory and cache? Mine is set to 100%.by Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoMy camera will not record on VCR mode. So that is out of the question. I don't know why. It just won't. It only records on camera mode. Audio mix down? I always mix down the audio manually. I am curious what option-cmd-R does... Well just did it and nothing is different. Now with mirror on desktop checked off I get a dropped frame abort later than usual. My guess is my only solution is toby Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoI fiddled with lots of stuff. The camera is now recording. But why am I getting the dropped frame abort? I trashed preferences, I turned off mirror on desktop, everything is rendered, its on Safe RT... If only Final cut could talk.by Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoTurned off Mirror on Desktop, trashed preferences, even prayed to the gods. Still getting dropped frames. Anyone? Will gladly reward you with a cold beer if you can help. Thanks.by Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoNow the tape is working, but I get the dropped frame dialogue box. Why? does anyone know why?by Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoOh man I am so flustered. I don't know what you mean. Sorry. Timeline? You hit ctrl M and then ok and it goes automatically. I thought it was preferences so I trashed preferences. Now the tape of the camera won't even move, but it does in capture mode. If I put the camera in VCR mode, the record button doesn't do anything. Seriously, this is weird.by Jeditor - Café LA Re: Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoIs the camera supposed to be in VCR mode or Camera mode? Am I supposed to hit the record button?by Jeditor - Café LA Edit to Tape is not showing up on tape playback and getting dropped frames. - 17 years agoHello again friends. I hit ctrl M, set up everything then start editing to tape, and I get the dialogue that it has been aborted due to dropped frames. When I click the do not show this again box off it doesn't abort, but still I believe the frames may be dropping. Why? During Edit, there is a black frame around the movie. Is this normal? Like I am seeing it through a window of black.by Jeditor - Café LA |
