Setting Description
Use ruler time Adds each imported file to the Vegas Pro timeline at the exact
position indicated by its timestamp. For example, if you import a
BWF file with a timestamp of 00:00:30;00, the media would be
added to the timeline at the thirty-second mark on the ruler.
Relative to cursor Adds each imported file to the Vegas Pro timeline and offsets the
timestamp value by the cursor position. For example, if you position
the cursor at 00:00:10;00 before importing a BWF file with a
timestamp of 00:00:30;00, the media would be added to the timeline
at the forty-second mark on the ruler.
