QuickTime Video Offset Pro Tools does not auto-
matically compensate for the delay when play-
ing QuickTime video through any FireWire pe-
ripheral, including Avid video peripherals. The
amount of delay introduced varies based on
your system and the type of video peripheral you
are using. When using an Avid peripheral with
QuickTime, 18 quarter-frames is a good starting
point, but you will need to verify the precise set-
ting for your system. (Third-party devices are
available to help you measure this delay.)
Session
The Session Setup window lets you configure
various timecode-related settings on your sys-
tem, as well as certain session format settings
(such as bit depth, pan depth, audio format, and
interleaved).
The window also includes display-only areas for
session sample rate, system delay, and time-
code-related data (such as incoming time).
Current Feet+Frames
Position
This dialog lets you specify a Feet+Frames value
based on the current Edit cursor timecode loca-
tion. Typically, this feature lets test tones, pre-
roll, Academy leader, and similar pre-program
material to be more easily integrated into
Pro Tools sessions.
Current Timecode Position
This dialog lets you redefine the session start
time. By creating an insertion point (or selec-
tion) and then entering the new timecode posi-
tion for that location, the session start time will
be recalculated based on the new, relative
timecode location.
