Creating Final Output 255

3 Insert a tape.

Note: If you notice that the tape you inserted is not displaying the type of timecode you

expected (drop frame or non-drop frame), play the tape ﬁrst to register its timecode in Final

Cut Pro.

4 If you are working in mastering mode, click the Mastering Settings tab and specify the

desired mastering options.

Mastering options let you add items such as a leader with a countdown, color bars, tone, and

a slate.

5 Select the type of Edit to Tape operation (preview, insert, or assemble) to perform. You can

use the edit operation buttons or the Edit to Tape overlay interface. See the section titled

“Edit to Tape Operations” on page 252 for more details.

6 If you selected the Insert or Assemble edit, insert a tape into the video deck at the prompt.

Any material that needs to be rendered at the current render quality will be rendered before

being edited to tape. You can monitor edit to tape results on an NTSC or PAL monitor. This

allows you to accurately preview the results.

Note: If you have turned “Mirror on desktop during Print to Video” on in General

preferences, you may notice dropped frames in your ﬁnal output. To eliminate this problem,

turn off this option in the General preferences tab.

Setting Mastering Options

These options appear on the Mastering Settings tab in the Edit to Tape window.

m Leader: These options create lead-in frames that precede the actual footage. The options

are applied in order. A duration for each option can be deﬁned by typing a time value into

the ﬁeld next to the option.
