I've got a video clip followed by a still image (cross dissolve between them). While the sequence plays perfectly fine on the computer, and even on the external monitor over firewire, when I Print to Tape, there is a dropout in the video right where the still image appears (which occurs even if there is no transition between the two clips).

The still is created by using a velocity envelope on a 1 frame clip and dropping its value to zero, then looping the clip.

I can find no reason why this happens. I have already tried printing the sequence to tape 3 times. The first time, right when the still appeared (without transition), a message popped-up on my DV cameras LCD (Sony TRV30) saying something like "Copy Prohibited" wherein the camera stopped recording. After I added a transition between the video and still, I received no message, recording continued through to the end of the sequence, and I thought all was well. Upon reviewing the tape, I found a dropout where the transition occured, and then continued playing the remaining duration of still on through till the end of the sequence.

Any info or assistance would be greatly appreciated!
