Paula,
I'm not sure I understand...did you use print to tape? While you have the Video Factory file open, click on make movie->print to tape (you should already have your camcorder on, blank tape inserted, set to VCR functions, and hooked up via fire wire to the computer), and follow the instructions. When it asks for the file type, name, location, leave it on the default (DV .avi), give it a name and location with sufficient space, then click next. If everything is right, your file will render first and then VF will record (print) it to your tape in your camcorder. I'm making some big assumptions that you have a firewire capability and are printing to a digital (or digital 8) camcorder. This doesn't work if you don't have that capability. Hope this helps.
Randy

Thanks Randy,
Yes I do have a firewall, I follow the directions on screenand I have tried many test on small movies,but the sound plays on screen and in Windows Media Player but does nor transfer over to the digital camcord. I can get video to transfer but all voice and music are mute.

The clips that are stored on comp. were captured ith MovieShaker from Sony, also edited but music was not added until VF. These files are stored in AVI format. I dont understand why they wont transfer, if it was because of movieshaker for the voice I could understand some conflict but the music was added with VF.

If I start from scratch I think that will work but there is a finished work about 45 min movieAHHHH.

Paula, Randy was asking about firewire, not firewall. How are you connecting your camcorder to the computer? Are you using a digital firewire (1394, iLink) connection or are you using an analog connection?

I'm sorry I meant to write firewire. Not ilink. sony digital camcord TRV720.

I did the samething last year with MovieShaker but seems so slow, but could not handle my movie of 35 mins.

I finally decided to give up and start from scratch. I captured with VF, edited all over and almost done. I gave a trial run of a short movie and it all worked. My question now is when I go to make a movie to DV and it renders to a file I give it, does it save it in more than one space, because my memory is going fast. When the movie is rendered but not yet put tape can I delete all the clips I made the movie from.
I am so sick of watching this movie over and over and over again.

Yes, you can delete the original file(s), but you won't be able to go back into VF and change your editing. The new DV file will have all of the editing "burned" in. It's as if you had shot the edited version originally using your camcorder. All subsequent editing will have to be done on the newly rendered DV .AVI file. (Which is no big deal and is typically how it's done, because like your finding out, your hard drive can get used up very quickly when doing video.)

If you want to delete more from the newly rendered file, no big deal. Bring it into VF and cut the sections out. But, if you decide later that you want to add footage back in, now you have to go back and recapture from the original tapes. This is when it can get time consuming. My advice is to edit conservatively because you can easily cut more out, but it's difficult to put pieces back in.

Hang in there about watching the same video over and over again. Down the road when you look back on what you've accomplished, all the struggles will be worth it (so long as you don't struggle through EVERY video you do.)
