Short Description
I got 3 professional camera guys to shoot an extreme skiing video.
The materials were all recorded onto final cut without problem - it is notable that some were shot anamorphic - some regular..... Cameras were XM2, XL1, and possible one other brand...
The video has been edited - shots all adjusted in the motion to make them all effectively anamorpic... regular shots had aspect ration changed to 33.33 and were then enlarged by 133%.... in this way I got the elongated effect which once output to dvd widescreen looks just great.
I can print off wonderful widescreen DVDs from this project which look just dandy on the widescreen projector....
but - for the life of me - i cannot seem to get the final movie to export back to a minidv tape on the canon xm2 using print to video. I have tried just about every setting i can think of:
The camcorder is set to VTR mode
The print to video plays on the mac screen
This is FCE version 3.5
I am pressing the rec pause button before I start
The camcorder even says it is recording once i start the print to video
Indeed - the time counter plays in the blue screen
The mac even swithced the camcorder off at the end of the recording.
There is a new tape in the camcorder
I have changed the firewire for a different one.
I am desparate to get this onto minidv for an upcoming film festival... so any advice on how to overcome the problem would be much appreciated.
