After creating your digital video productions with Media Studio, in order to record the digital movies back out to a VCR, you need to create a Motion JPEG (MJEP) encoded AVI file. Here is how you do this..
1. Use Media Studio’s editor to edit your digital videos.
2. When you are finished editing and are ready to output your digital video to video tape, click on:
File/Create/VideoFile
3. A pop up window will open for you to name and select what type of AVI file you wish to make. Name your video production. Then click on:
Options/Compression
and choose MJPEG. Then click O.K.
4. Click on Save to create your final video production. This process can take a long time, depending upon how complex your video and audio special effects are.
5. Check to see that the Video Magic Driver is confiqured to play back to an External monitor (refer to page 4-6 in the VideoMagic manual under Driver Setup). To find this menu, click on:
ControlPanel/Multimedia/Advanced
Look under VideoCaptureDevices and click on:
MotionJPG Capture Driver
and then Settings.
Make sure Playback is set to External Monitor:
6. If your clip contains audio be sure the LineOut on the sound card is connected to the AudioInput of your video record deck. Now play the clip using Media Player or Media Studio’s Player and you are ready to record!
