Export to tape in Adobe Premier Pro - records blank tape

[BrenAllison]

Hi, please help - I'm having problems. I'm new to Adobe Premier Pro and I have a project ready to export to tape, but when I do this the tape comes out blank. In APP, I choose File>Export>Export to tape, choose the appropriate selections, and click "Record." Adobe seems to do everything correctly - it takes control of my JVC deck and the "Record" and "Play" buttons light up on my deck. The project previews in APP and even gives me correct timecodes. However, when recording stops and I check the tape - nothing is there. No blue screen or anything, just black/blank footage. I'm using a Firewire and NTSC. I've also tried this by running the firewire to my Cannon GL2 with the exact same results. I can't get this project off my computer and am approaching a deadline. Please advise.

Just btw - I don't have a DVD burner, so export to tape is my only option. Thanks.

Have you checked the output settings on the wing menu from the Monitor Window to make sure that output is directed correctly?

I'm having the same problems. I tried several settings in Projects>Preference>General. I use the SONY-HRDFX1. Any tips can really make me happy. Thanks

Output parameters are set in the Monitor Window wing menu, not in the Project settings.

I find it easier to control the recorder manually and just play the timeline, after rendering, to get programmes onto tape. Also, that way a short black at start and finish can be recorded onto tape for as long as you like by starting the recorder, delaying the start of timeline replay, and then leaving the recorder running when the timeline reaches the end.
