I would like to do what I do in Premiere. Play my timeline to tape with audio so I can print a tape without a complete re-rendering. Is there a way to direct audio to firewire and not to sound card????
Try Tools / Print to DV tape. That works for me. Any sections of the video track on the timeline that aren't already DV, or are altered in any way will need to be rendered first, Also, the audio is always rendered (though this is very fast). Any sections of the timeline that are straight DV, cuts only, will be printed without rendering.
