Audio in Premiere Pro.
DeckLink cards now support ASIO. This means in Premiere Pro that the card is
seen as an audio device. When you first start your Premiere Pro project, make sure
you select the audio device you wish to use – either DeckLink audio or a selected
sound card. This can be done through Edit->Preferences->Audio Hardware. You
can also select the mix of the multi-channel audio from this menu.
Export to tape
To export to tape, select the sequence you require File->Export->Export to Tape.
Insert editing
requires an unbroken timecode over the full length of the program
you’re laying to tape. This is referred to as ‘blacking the tape’.
In
assemble mode
the tape needs only to be ‘blacked’ until a point just beyond
the start time of the program. As
assemble editing
erases the tape ahead of
the record heads, it should not be used where other programs already exist on
the tape after the out point of your edit.
Premiere Pro™ does not work like a deck. When editing to tape, the software
waits at the first frame of your program for the deck to drop into record at the
predetermined timecode. At that exact moment, the program begins to play and
the edit is completed. Should you find that either the first frame of your program
is repeated or lost during the edit to tape procedure you will need to adjust the
playback offset to bring the deck and your computer into sync. You should only
need to do this once with any combination of deck and computer - and the
setting will stay correct thereafter.
Now, simply enter the desired in point and offsets if required, and click OK.
