Source media timecode format

Right-click an event, choose Properties, and click the Media tab to view these properties. By default, Use is selected.

Note: You can override these settings by choosing different settings on the Video tab of the Preferences dialog. Select Timecode from the Source frame numbering list to allow event-level specification.

Render media file format

The timecode of a final rendered media file is determined by the specified format. The frame rate of the project ultimately determines the timecode and is often constrained by the type of media file being rendered or the codec being used for compression. For example, NTSC DV is typically limited to a frame rate of 29.97 fps and uses SMPTE drop frame timecode.

Time formats in Vegas software

A variety of time formats are provided in the application. For more information, see Changing the ruler format on page 329.

Troubleshooting DV hardware issues

Vegas software is designed to integrate seamlessly with OHCI compliant IEEE-1394 DV video capture hardware and DV camcorders. While most people never have any problems, the vast number of hardware configuration possibilities makes this a potentially complex issue. There are a number of resources at the Sony Media Software Web site that may be able to assist you.
