playback ?
Ok so I am finished with my project and rendered it and played out to tape it looks fine ..Now I just want to show the project right from the PC and look as good as the tape copy via my NTSC monitor and PC speakers. Is it possible to do this?
I use a Sony fire wire media converter with the NTSC monitor Thanks Vince |
If you simply play the timeline with external preview turned on you will get the video on the NTSC monitor and the audio via the sound card.

Thanks Edward...But when I do that I still get the jerky preview type of playback? I want it to look like the tape copy nice and smooth in the transitions and video
Thanks Vince |
One thing to try that may help is to make sure the entire timeline is visible so the screen does not have to refresh.
If you do a PTT, the sound will go via firewire instead of the sound card. Why can't you just do a PTT and then use a camera as a convertor to get from Firewire to analog? |
Sorry ..PTT ?

Thanks will try it today ....but will it not start the rendering process all over again
BTW in the dynamic ram setting it says 512 available and it is set at 128 should I change it to 512 I have 640 installed Thanks for all the help I don’t get a lot of time on the system but am starting to do so Thanks Vince |
In the first post you said you rendered it. Just load the rendered version an no rendering will be required.
If you load the original project and did not save the pre-renders then, yes, rendering may be required. The RAM setting does not have to be maxed out. The higher you set it, the more ram will be used for RAM Renders. |
I must be doing something wrong sorry for the dumb question
How do you do a pre render save when I view a project I load the project to watch it, like I said I am doing something wrong and am learning the system Vince |
When you do a print to tape, it will automatically prerender all sections that need rendering. There is an option in the preferences that determines whether or not these are automatically saved. If saved and you re-open the project, this prerendering will NOT be done again unless you do something to change those sections (warning: adding a video track changes ALL sections).
Based on the original post, I had assumed when you said you had rendered that you had simply done a File - Render As on the entire project. If you did, you can add THAT file to a new timeline and print to tape will NOT have to re-render any of the video. |
Thanks Edward
