 Export to DV tape

 For record and insert cuts you need DV devices that support these functions.
Consult your video recorder/camcorder user manual to find out which
functions your device supports. The device control will determine your
device's scope of functions and will only offer those functions that your
device supports.

 Although the device control supports functions such as record and insert
cuts, no guarantee of clip playback precision can be given. It is Premiere that
plays the video clip, and not the DV200 device control. Please consult Adobe
Premiere's technical support if you should find there are irregularities in video
playback.

 Under Premiere 5.1, the DV200 supports export of video data to tape.

1. In Premiere 5.1, click the Export and Export to Tape command in the File

menu.

 

 The following dialog box appears:

 

Certain device control options can be activated.

Export options

Activate recording deck
Select the Activate recording deck option if you want to use the device
control to synchronously set the connected DV device to the record
mode. This is required to record video data to tape.

Insert Edit settings
The Insert Edit settings allow a frame accurate insert cut if the
connected DV device is supporting this function.
