Here's a typical scenario for me: I have a GY-DV5000 that records to both firewire drive and tape. The thing is, when I start recording, the harddrive starts capturing about a second before the tape. Having the hard drive means I don't have to capture the tape--it's just a direct transfer to the computer which is a real time saver. I lay out all my edited events for that media, of which there might be 300. Render the timeline, and call it done. Delete the raw harddrive media. WHOOPS--missed something in the edited version that needs to be changed. But no worries, I have the tape. Capture the tape, and now everything on my timeline is off by a second due to the lag of the tape.
It would be really nice if I could tell Vegas that the raw media is to be offset by some amount. I see that you can apply custom timecode, but that doesn't seem to do anything. Right now my only solution is to figure out the exact offset and re-render the entire raw media first, accounting for the offset with trimming or blank space at the beginning.
Is it possible to offset the raw media somehow?
Thanks,
