Can`t export to tape CS3 - Canon XH-A1 at DVinfo.net

Nathan Quattrini · April 14th, 2009, 11:21 PM

I have a project with some footage that was edited as M2T and exported as Animation MOV, same PAR, same frame rate, same frame size. Its canon HDV footage 1440x1080 1.33 PAR. When I try to export to tape, its grayed out. I tried changing my camera settings to DV and HDV with no change. How do I need to set everything up to let me export to tape? It is vital and I need to figure it out ASAP.

Thanks.

Did Premiere recognize the camera? Did you plug the fire wire cable connecting the computer and camera in, THEN boot the computer, open premiere, and THEN turn on the camera? Sometimes that is a issue.

Other than that it may be your timeline settings.

A few more details would probably help us figure out what the problem is.
