to select your dv-1394 settings:1 choose project ] project settings ] general.
2 click the advanced settings button, then click the dv-1394 tab.
3 under export to tape, you should select enable video preview during export. this lets you preview the video you??re exporting to tape on your computer monitor. some systems and dv-1394 devices, however, don??t support this option. if you??re unable to perform an export to tape, try clearing enable video preview during export. the preview will be disabled on your computer monitor, but you can preview the video on your camcorder??s viewfinder and on your ntsc or pal monitor (assuming you??ve connected the analog video output of your dv-1394 device to your video monitor).
if you clear enable video preview during export after a failed dv-1394 export to tape, you'll need to restart your computer before starting the export to tape again.
4 if you want to perform a matrox realtime export to dv tape, make sure enable realtime export to tape is selected. some systems, however, may have problems with the realtime export, such as gray blocks or system sluggishness, in which case you'll want to clear this option. for details, see "exporting your adobe premiere timeline to dv tape"on page 59.
5 if you want your timeline to be output over the 1394 interface to your dv-1394 device whenever you play back the timeline, select always output to 1394. you'll be able to preview the output on your ntsc or pal monitor, as well as on your dv-1394 device's viewfinder.
6 under 1394 audio capture, select which dv stereo audio streams you want to capture when capturing audio over the 1394 interface. each stereo stream will be saved as a separate .wav file. for example, if you capture only one dv stereo stream, the audio stream of your stereo clip will be saved as filename.wav. if you choose to capture both dv stereo streams, the second audio stream will be saved as filename_2ndstream.wav.
remarks
- some dv-1394 devices let you capture only one stereo audio stream. for more information, consult the documentation that came with your dv-1394 device.
- when you import your .avi file into adobe premiere, the clip??s .wav file will automatically be imported for you. you??ll need to import the _2ndstream.wav file separately.
- when capturing audio over the 1394 interface with certain dv devices (such as sony or canon), the left and right channels may be inverted in the resulting .wav file. if this happens, you can select invert left and right channels to correct this problem.
7 if you have an ntsc system, under tape time code format, select the format that matches the format on your dv tapes.
8 click ok to return to the project settings dialog box.
