Topic: ARGHHHH! If it's not one thing it's the other! *URGENT*

This is one of THE most frustrating things I have ever come across. Im editing a music concert in Studio DC10 Plus and went to export it to video and the video comes out fine but no friggin audio. I've done this before and had no problems or if there were problems I've been able to work them out. But this I've tried everything. So I thought stuff it, I will do it in Premiere. (Version 6 that is). Fantastic! Audio I got, but.................NO VISUAL! I keep coming up with that test pattern thing with the vertical bars of different colours. This project has been going on for ages and I want to get it finished and move onto better projects. What am I doing wrong? *HELP*

that sounds weird.
cant think of a source of the problem right now.
are you using any special codecs when you are exporting?

I dont think I am using any special codec at all......Im just simply putting onto tape.....thats it.

What steps do you take in setting up for a movie to go onto tape? What settings and procedure? I have a feeling that it is some sort of procedure that IM not doing right. Any ideas?

good question. i never did something like that before. but i guess, you have to hook up the graphic card with your TV or VCR then play the movie in fullscreen and record with your VCR.

I tried re-installing my sound system and that hasnt solved the situation. Plus I re-installed Studio DC10Plus and that still hasnt solved the problem. I think its because the file is too big...its like over 3 GB! Because when I import other movies into StudioPlus their audio works fine! So I think it might be due to the size of it all. Im gonna try Pinnacle's website and search around for any Premiere chatboards.

Well after a much needed break, I fully know how to do it. Just remember its better than nothing. I figured that I will have to film off the computer monitor and then from the camera's tape put onto the VCR and get the audio from the headphone socket coz the actual pins are stuffed so I cant get any audio out though that way. My old school shoudnt be too concerned with the quality, they are pretty pov themselves so this music concert wont be a problem for them!......Thanks for hearing me Grumble!
