Choose File > Export > Tape.
If you’re working with a DV 
camcorder, you’ll see the Export 
to Tape dialog shown here.
Here’s a rundown of options:
t
Activate Recording Device
:
When you select this option, 
Adobe Premiere Pro will control 
your DV device. Deselect it if you 
want to record to a device that 
you’ll control manually.
t
Assemble at timecode
: Select 
this option to pick an In point 
on the tape where you want 
recording to begin. When this 
option is not selected, recording 
will begin at the current tape location.
t
Delay movie start by
 x 
frames
: This is for the few DV recording devices 
that need a brief period of time between receiving the video signal and 
recording it. Check your device’s manual to see what the manufacturer 
recommends.
t
Preroll 
x
 frames
: Most decks need little or no time to get to the proper tape 
recording speed. To be on the safe side, select 150 frames (5 seconds), or add 
black video to the start of your project (see the previous “Bars and tone or 
black video” tip).
The remaining options are self-explanatory.

Click Record (or Cancel if you don’t want to make a recording).
If you haven’t rendered your project (by pressing Enter for playback instead of 
the spacebar), Adobe Premiere Pro does that now. When rendering is complete, 
Adobe Premiere Pro starts your camcorder and records your project to it.
