Output your movie to videotape. Movie Vision Pinnacle Studio 12, MV-DVD-PL3

Output your movie to videotape

Verify that the camcorder/VCR is powered on and configured, and that you have inserted a tape cued to where you wish to begin recording. You now have two options:

1.

2.

If you are recording your movie onto DV tape,

Studio gives you the option to control the DV device automatically. Click the Settings button then activate the check box in the Output options area.

With most DV devices there is a small delay between receiving the command to record and the actual start of recording. Since it varies from one device to another, you may need to experiment with the Record delay time value for best results with your particular device.

If you are recording onto analog tape, or have not checked the Automatically start and stop recording option on the Make tape options panel, start your

VCR recording now.

Finally, click Play in the Player.

The Yahoo option offers two preset formats, Best

Quality and Fast Upload. These provide different combinations of frame size and video data rate:

•

Best Quality scales your video to a 480x480 frame size, and requires a data rate of 2400 Kbits/second.

•

Fast Upload uses a 352x240 frame size, and requires a data rate of 1150 Kbits/second.

The YouTube option offers only one preset, Best

Quality. The frame size is 320x240, and the data rate is

256 Kbits/second.

No additional format settings are required for either destination.

After selecting the upload site and preset you want, click the Create button. This opens the Web Upload dialog box, where you can enter editorial information about your production.

Set the title, description and comma-separated search tags as desired, then check up to three categories in which your movie should be listed.

If you have previously logged into your Yahoo! account from Studio, but this time want to use a different user ID, check the Login as a different user box.

Unless you are already logged in, the Yahoo! Desktop

Login dialog is now displayed. If you have an existing

Yahoo! Identity, enter your user information now; otherwise, you must first click the Sign up link to set up a new Yahoo! account.

Studio now automatically creates and uploads your movie. Click the Watch video online button if you would like to visit the Yahoo! Video site in your web browser to confirm the success of the upload.
