FCP4.0 Can't output to video

Help! My FCP4 won't allow me to output what's on the timeline directly to my DV camera. I have a finished product on the timeline, but I am not able to transfer it to tape. If I export it to my harddrive as a FCP movie, can I reimport it to FCP after I reinstall FCP4? Has any of you ever encountered this problem after upgrading to OSX Tiger?

Thank you all for your time

Not sure what menu this is to go to with ver4.5 but 5.0 is View>External Video>All Frames. Then making sure to double check in "Video Playback" and "audio Playback" that the right setting for your camera is there...usually "Apple Firewire NTSC" (for me).

Actually when I was trying to output to miniDV last week, I could not get it to work. I have a Sony VX2100. I had to turn OFF the setting in the camera's Menu for "AV~DV Out". Then it was fine. Not sure if this helps, just a suggestion to try if you have this option.

FCP 4 + Tiger = trouble. It could just be something simple, but a lot of people have had the problems you describe after upgrading to Tiger. It's always a good idea to read the forums before upgrading operating systems or Quicktime. See the following:

If this doesn't help you may want to visit Apple's tech support forum for FCP here:

Yes you should be able to File > Export > Quicktime Movie and use the current settings to save your finished movie.
