seconds of color bars and tone at the beginning of your program to aid in video and audio

Exporting to videotape using device control
Before you create a 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 “Using device control” on page 67).
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 than those described here,
and in different locations; see the documentation for the device.
To record a sequence on videotape using device control:
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 striped with timecode. See “Striping a tape with
timecode” on page 90.)
2
Activate the sequence you want to export, and choose File > Export > Export to Tape.
3
Select Activate Recording Device to let Adobe Premiere Pro control your deck.
4
Select Assemble at Timecode and type the In point on the tape where you want
recording to begin. If you don’t select this option, recording begins at the current tape
location.
5
For Delay Movie Start, type the number of quarter-frames that you want to delay the
movie so that you can synchronize it with the DV device recording start time. Some
devices need a delay between the time they receive the record command and the time
the movie starts playing from the computer.
6
For Preroll, type the number of frames that you want Adobe Premiere Pro to back up on
the recording deck before the specified timecode. Specify enough frames for the deck to
reach a constant tape speed. For many decks, 5 seconds or 150 frames is sufficient.
7
In the Options section, specify the Abort After and Report Dropped Frames options as
needed, and then click Record.
8
If you don’t need to perform any more recordings after the Recording Successful
message appears in the Status option, click Cancel to close the Export to Tape dialog box.
Note: If you want to use Device Control but it’s unavailable, click Cancel. Choose Edit >
Preferences, click Device Control, make sure that your device is set up properly in the
Device Control options, and click OK. Then try recording to tape again.
Exporting to videotape without device control
You can export to videotape without device control by manually operating the playback
controls in Adobe Premiere Pro and the recording controls on the device.
