Producing Final Video
To record the Timeline on videotape by using device control:
1 Make sure your video recording deck is on, that you’ve set it up correctly using the File >
Preferences > Scratch Disks/Device Control command, and that the correct tape is in the deck.
2 Choose File > Export > Export to Tape, and specify options outside the Device Options
section (see “Playing back full-screen video” on page 198).
Note: The Export to Tape command is available only if you have installed a plug-in that supports
the Export to Tape command for a device-control deck. The exact options in the following steps may
vary depending on the device-control plug-in you use. See the documentation that came with the
device-control deck.
3 In the Device Options section, select Activate Recording Deck.
4 Specify the following options as necessary:
• Select Insert to include various program components into the recording. Select Video,
Audio 1, and Audio 2 track names as necessary to include them, and if your video-capture card
and recording deck are set up to record time code, select Time Code to use the timecode of clips
in the program.
• For @, type the timecode at which you want program insertion to begin.
• For Preroll, type the number of frames you want Premiere to back up the recording deck
before the specified timecode. Specify enough frames for the deck to reach a constant tape
speed. For many decks, five seconds of frames is sufficient.
5 Click OK.
To record the Timeline on videotape without device control:
1 Make sure your video recording deck is on and the tape is cued to the frame where you want
to start recording.
2 Choose File > Export > Print to Video. Specify options (see “Playing back full-screen
video” on page 198). For the Play Black for _ Seconds option, make sure you enter enough
time for the speed of the video recording deck to stabilize before the video starts.
