Synchronization
Synchronization dialog
Note: You will find descriptions of all synchronization dialog elements here. You can
find a description of how the synchronization settings are made in the
"Synchronization settings" (view page 241) chapter.
Input synchronization: Here you must select the driver which the MAGIX Video Pro
X5 will receive the MIDI timecode. This setting will also be used for SMPTE. With
synchronization via SMPTE, please make sure that the device corresponds to the
SMPTE input of your MIDI interface.
Frame rate: Here you can determine the fitting SMPTE frame rate, for example 24 for
cinema film, 25 for PAL video and audio synchronization, 29.97 drop/non drop or 30
for NTSC video.
Preroll: Here you can enter a frame number which MAGIX Video Pro X5 will ignore
before it starts synchronization. This accommodates the fact that analog devices need
time to reach their correct speed. To make sure that MAGIX Video Pro X5
synchronizes to a valid time, this segment can be skipped using pre-roll frames.
