Syncing Acid to Video Timeline question -ACID Product Family

Subject:Syncing Acid to Video Timeline question Posted by: Rednroll Date:4/7/2002 5:43:30 PM I'm trying to adjust the timeline so that it sync's to video tapes tape I work with (beta, D-2, D-8). Usually when I receive a video in the advertising industry the tape is striped with smpte, with the begginning of the tape starting at 00:59:30.00, and then the Video starts on the Hour (ie 01:00:00.00. Well in Acid I would like to set it up so the time line correlates to the Video when synced up. I want Acid to chase to the video, with a 30 second pre-roll. So in other words, I set the start of the timeline to 59:30.00, and I will start my actual audio in acid at 1:00:00.00. This is no problem in changeing the Time line. The problem is that I also want to move the measure/beat time line along with this. I want measure 1, beat 1 to start with the 1:00:00.00 start of the audio. Is this possible? The only way I'm able to accomplish this is to set the timeline to 1:00:00.00 at the start of the project, which get's rid of any pre-roll that I might want, thus not allowing me to put any audio in front of the 1 Hour start time. Anyone know how to accomplish this?

Probably the closest you can come to this is to drop the cursor at 5.1 or 9.1 (or 10.1, wherever), and choose View/Time Ruler/Set Time at Cursor. Set it for 1:00:00.00, and have your events start at measure 5, beat 1. HTH, Joel
