Note: Even though TriCaster is a standard definition video device (and edit projects are always SD,
you can capture HDV files using Import from Tape.
Export to Tape - This feature uses the IEEE 1394 Preview to send the current project to a DV
device (As noted elsewhere in this manual, HDV files can be captured by TriCaster. Ultimately,
however, the Edit Media section output is standard definition – hence HDV export is not
supported.)
Deck controls are provided in the panel that pops up to assist you in locating the desired point on
the tape. You do not need to engage tape play beforehand; recording is begun immediately on
clicking the Go button. During recording to tape, the interface is locked (apart from the Cancel
button.)
Note: Particularly intensive sections of edit projects may stutter during playback (e.g., segments
with many overlays, such titles or picture-in-picture compositions).

When necessary, you can avoid problems during Export to Tape (or any other time) by dragging
the Force Render filter from the Filters folder onto the Timeline. Position this effect at the
bottom of the recalcitrant project segment, and stretch it to last as long as necessary.
