What are you yelling at me for? Where on earth did I say that they could EDIT TO TAPE? The OP said that they had P2 footage that they needed to back up:
"I am trying to print to tape from a FCP sequence to the Panasonic 1200A deck and am encountering some problems (like many i have read on other threads)...We shot P2 footage in 720p60 at 23.98 fps and now I need to deliver masters on Panasonic DVCPro HD tapes."
PRINT TO TAPE. I guess I should have been more clear in saying "you need to crash record, you can't Print to Video." And someone ELSE (Chris Borjis) brought up insert editing...not me: "no insert editing without a special trick if I'm not mistaken."
Bob, all you had to do was clarify my answer by saying that they needed to crash record.
We shot a lot of P2 on my last show...or two shows back now...and the client would not accept P2 masters. So we output to tape (stupid, I know...no matching timecode to the masters used in the sequence) by hooking the 1200 to the Kona 3 and crash recording.
Now get off your high horse and get a hair cut...
