Printing To Video and Output
From the Timeline
You can output your sequence to videotape using the Print to
Video command, or simply record from the Timeline.

Different Ways You Can Output Video From the Timeline
When you’re ready to send your clip or edited sequence to videotape, you have two
options. You can use the Print to Video command or you can record directly from the
Timeline. Recording from the Timeline is the easiest option, but printing to video gives
you more control over the process and allows you to include additional elements.
 Print to Video: The Print to Video command lets you send an entire edited sequence or
clip to videotape. You can also output a section of a sequence or clip by setting In and
Out points. You can include elements on the tape such as color bars and tone, a
countdown, a slate, and a black trailer, along with your sequence or clip. You can also
loop your footage if you want to output your program multiple times on the same tape.
∏
Tip: You can use the Print to Video command even if your video equipment does not
have device control.
 Record from the Timeline: You can use this method at any time to record the video
output of Final Cut Express HD to tape, providing a “what you see is what you get”
recording of your sequence. In this case, Final Cut Express HD does not control your
VTR in any way.
