So try importing the old project into a new one.

Your theory is certainly plausible, but more likely you just have a corrupt project. Importing it into a new one often solves a myriad of problems. [quote]

I'll give it a go and let U know what happens! Sounds hopeful to me!

You're a GENIUS!!
 

Adam ... You were RIGHT!!!! My project file was corrupted somehow and would not let me encode & export! I imported the project files into a NEW project, and YES!!!!!! I can now export to HDV!!

Thanks so much for the great tip!!

This is an awesome forum! Thanks everyone!

Glad you got it sorted Lester, there's nothing more frustrating than having a problem and trying everything you can think of with no solution.

Thats why forums like this are great, other people thinking outside your box !

Peter

Thanks for closing the loop on this and letting us know the solution.

Glad you got it working.

Export to tape: CS4
 

I'd like to ask just you use export to tape in your overall workflow? I use CS4 as well and have not tried it myself yet.

And btw, glad to hear you got it to work!

Lester,

I meant to ask if you export to tape for archival purposes, or to transfer projects, or... and whether you do this for all your projects? I tend to think of tape as relatively fragile (rightly or wrongly) compared to HDs, and given the $/MB price point of HDs I've gone that route.

Interesting that if I do a generic search for "export to tape" Premiere seems to dominate those discussions.

Hi Tim

I always as a rule back up ALL my finished vids to tape, as well as keeping a copy on my HD. Also, I'm covering my butt just in case there is interest from a broadcaster and they wish to have an "original". You are right tho ... the cost per MB has gotten so low that it is another option. I feel better knowing that a videotape cannot "crash"! :-)
