2. Activate the sequence you want to export, and position the work area bar over the section of the sequence you want to export.

To place the work area bar over the whole section of the sequence that is visible in the Timeline panel double-click in the space just
under the time ruler. To first view the whole sequence, press the backslash (\) key.

3. Choose File > Export > Export To Tape.

4. To let Premiere Pro control your deck, select Activate Recording Device and do any of the following:

To specify a particular frame on the tape to start recording, select Assemble At Timecode and type the In point. If you don’t select this
option, recording begins at the current tape location.

To synchronize a device’s timecode with the recording start time, select Delay Movie Start and type the numbers of frames that you want
to delay the movie. Some devices need a delay between the time they receive the record command and the time the movie starts
playing from the computer.

To have Premiere Pro roll the tape before the specified start time so that the deck can attain a constant speed, select Preroll and type
the number of frames you want the tape to play before recording begins. For many decks, 150 frames is sufficient.

5. In the Options section, select any of the following options:

Abort After Dropped Frames Ends export automatically if a specified number of frames is not exported successfully. Specify the number in
the box.

Report Dropped Frames Generates a text report alerting you to dropped frames.

Render Audio Before Export Prevents sequences containing complex audio from causing dropped frames during export.

6. Click Record, or, for HDV devices click Render And Record.

If exporting to an HDV device, a rendering dialog box will open with a progress bar showing the progress of the transcode to HDV. Typically,
export to tape will begin when transcoding is about 50% done.

7. If you don’t need to perform any more recordings after the Recording Successful message appears in the Status option, click Cancel to close

the Export To Tape dialog box.
Note: If you want to use device control but it’s unavailable, click Cancel. Choose Edit > Preferences, click Device Control, make sure that
your device is set up properly in the Device Control options, and click OK. Then try recording to tape again.

Export a sequence to tape without device control

You can export to videotape without device control by operating the playback controls in Premiere Pro and the recording controls on the device
itself.

Note: You can export to tape on an HDV device in Windows only, and only with device control.

1. Activate the sequence you want to export.

2. Make sure that the sequence plays back on your deck or camera. If it does not, review the steps for preparing for exporting to tape (See

Prepare for exporting to DV videotape), or see the documentation for your analog device.

3. Make sure that the video recording device is in Record-Pause mode, and that the tape is cued to the point where you want to start

recording.

4. Position the current-time indicator at the beginning of the sequence (or work area, as needed).

5. Press the Record or Pause button on the device, as needed to put the device into Record mode.

6. Press the Play button in the Program Monitor.

7. When the program finishes, press the Stop button in the Program Monitor, and then press Stop on the device.
