Using non sony tapes for school.
I am currently going to school for Film Production and I am using my Z1 as much as I can. At my school, however, all the decks are non sony and we are not allowed to put sony tapes in them. Unfortunately after talking to my teacher he wants me to turn in my work on a dv tape not a dvd.
My plan is to film how I always do using a normal sony tape but once done editing I put in a panasonic dv tape into the Z1 and export my final project to the panasonic tape for the teacher using Premiere. Is this a good idea? Also I should be fine putting hdv onto a panasonic dvc tape right? On second thought I also have a hdr hc1 which I could use to export the final copy with, almost as a very inexpensive deck in an attempt to save the head on my Z1. Would this be feasible provided that everything else discussed is practical? |

You would probably be OK if you run a cleaning tape before and after. But another option would be using the camera with your Sony tapes and a firewire connection to the school's deck with their brand of tape. Would involve an extra step but everybody could use their tape brand of choice...

Sounds like that may be more work than its worth. Exporting to tape is so simple in Premiere that's what I would do. It's easier to take a tape to school than it is a drive.

Take the tape
Export to the other camera (Not sure if it is a HDV camera) with the other tape brand and take the tape to school.
