Premiere Pro 2 wont export to Tape! Recording Failed message

[achilles_coyote]

Hi there

I am new here.. first of all, congratulations great resources!!

to introduce myself, my name is Achilleas ( greek), and I live/work in London as freelance designer/filmmaker. (for anyone interested, you can see my online stuff at www.hypnagogia.com and www.myspace.com/hypnagogia_films )

I have submitted my latest short (Der PUppengeiger) to quite a few festivals. I am now trying to export it back onto a master miniDV and damn Premiere Pro 2 won't let me!!!

It's the first time I tried to do this in Premiere Pro 2. I never had any troubles with this before (in other versions etc). Everything is set up correctly, my camera is plugged in and recognised by the PC.

I go to Export to Tape, click on activate device, assemble at 0.00:10.00, render audio before exporting...

it renders the audio, then goes to the correct time code on my Camera (which is on at the VCR/playback mode) but then stops and says Recording Failed...

Any ideas please???

If not, any other alternatives to export my movie to DV? Its rather urgent... (source file is a rendered DV AVI).

Thanks in advance!!

Can you export manually? Under the source window, there is an output button. Check playback settings and make sure DV is selected and external audio...then cue up your camcorder, press record, and then play your timeline.
