> Project WindowAdjusting the Play Delay Offset |
The Avid application uses a combination of hardware to provide for full audio and video playback capabilities. The use of an OHCI (Open Host Controller Interface) or a 1394 card to input and output DV signals along with the output to a computer's desktop monitor and consumer audio chip could present playback sync issues.
If you do not have a Mojo attached, the Desktop Play Delay dialog box allows you to adjust the offset between audio and video playback on the Avid system.
With a camera or transcoder connected to your system, when you play a sequence in the Timeline and the Composer (desktop) monitor plays back video and audio ahead of the camera or transcoder, you can adjust this offset. Playback on the Composer monitor can be delayed by the number of frames chosen as an offset so that the video and audio play simultaneously to the camera or transcoder and the Composer monitor.
To adjust the offset:
| 1. | |
In the Project window, click the Settings tab.
|
The Settings scroll list appears.
| 2. | |
Double-click Desktop Play Delay.
|
The Desktop Play Delay dialog box opens.
| 3. | |
Click the slider to increase or decrease the amount of frame offset.
|
You might need to readjust the frames a few times to find the correct
offset.
