Printing Video to Tape
Vegas Pro provides two methods for printing your final movie to tape: you can print to tape directly from
the Vegas Pro timeline, or you can use Sony Video capture to print an existing rendered file to DV tape.
Printing Video to Tape from the Timeline
From the Tools menu, choose Print Video to Tape to print your project to a camera or deck.
Important:
n Prerendered files can require significant drive space. On the Video tab of the Project Properties
dialog, select a Prerendered files folder on an a/v-capable drive with ample free space: DV
requires approximately 228 MB per minute.
n HDMI print to tape is supported on the Blackmagic Design DeckLink HD Extreme/Intensity
Pro/HD Extreme 3D, AJA Io Express, and AJA KONA LHi cards. Please note that AJA XENA
cards are now branded as KONA cards: http://www.aja.com/products/kona/transition.php.
n For the latest information about supported hardware, please see our Web site:

Printing to a DV device
1. If you want to print only a portion of your project, create a time selection that includes the section
of your project.
2. From the Tools menu, choose Print Video to Tape. The Device Setup dialog is displayed.
3. Use the Device Setup dialog to configure your camera or deck:
a. From the Device type drop-down list, choose OHCI-Compliant IEEE 1394/DV.
b. From the Video drop-down list, choose the setting that matches your destination format.
