262 Pinnacle Studio 9
Make tape settings
Studio automatically senses the hardware you have
installed, and configures the Make Tape playback
destination accordingly.
If you are printing (making tape) to a DV device, you
can choose to have Studio start and stop the device
automatically instead of having to do it yourself.
To control printing automatically:
1. Click the Make Movie button on the main menu bar.
The upper half of the screen changes to display the
Make Movie window.
2. Click the Tape tab.
3. Click the Settings button. The Make tape options
panel opens.
4. Check the Automatically start and stop recording
box to enable the automatic function.
With most DV devices there is a small delay
between receiving the command to record and the
actual start of recording. In Studio, this is referred
to as the “record delay time”. It varies from device
to device, so you may need to experiment with the
value for best results with your particular device.
