• Exporting to XDCAM

Laying Back Audio and Video to 
Tape

Pro Tools video playback is intended for moni-
toring purposes only, and is not suitable for pro-
fessional layback or broadcast, regardless of the 
resolution or frame rate of the video. However, 
video output from Media Station|PT is profes-
sional quality. Use Media Station|PT when you 
need to output both audio and video to tape. To 
avoid dropped frames, it is recommended that 
all effects be rendered before performing a lay-
back.

To record audio and video to tape from 
Media Station|PT:

1  

Insert a video tape into your VTR. In most 

cases, Media Station|PT will present a list of 
tapes already associated with this project and 
ask you which tape you have inserted.
