Thanx Tone.
(is it prononced "tony" or "tone" like in "tone generator"?)
How funny it is that? the brackets trimm the edit points when I don't
toggle the clip timecode display. I'm going back to the DS edit suite,
maybe I was wrong yesterday...
Beside, I'm working on an Equinox based DS, so I can,t playback to
verify sync. To playback I must disable the reference track. It would
sure be easier for me if I had RT and compression choices.

Hiya,
To answer your questions...
1. To sync to offline I capture the offline at 20:1 compression, put
it on
a new Video Track above everything else, and put a wipe at 50% on it
(this
is real time). It's really easy on 90% of shots to simply play the
sequence and see instantly where the sync is out.
2. To slip the clips to sync up I do the same as you - select "Clip"
and
use the square brackets
3. The function that you didn't know the name of is "Sync Point
Editing"
Hope that helps,
Regards,
Tone :)
ps - your English is excellent :)
I know I can use the clip side handle to slip a clip, but when doing
so
the timeline cursor switch to the incoming frame, while I want to
watch
another frame on the clip.
What I am trying to acheive is to sync back a conformed timeline from
an EDL to it's quicktime reference. I linked this small quicktime and
put in a corner of the picture. In alot of shots, the first frame is a
talking head. So what I'm searching for is a distinctive frame to sync
(eye blink, moving hand, etc) which is most of the time NOT in the
first frame of the clip...
In the case it's mis-synced for a few frames ony, the fastest workflow
I found is to select the clip and use the brackets to slide the clip
to
sync with its QT ref. in the case it's grossly out of sync, I load the
clip in the viewer, find the right frame and put it back to the
timeline whith the "reverse match frame" (not sure of the name...)
button. This is my workflow so far.
So I have two questions:
1° what is your workflow to sync clips when you are trying to match
a
reference quicktime?
2° is there a way to make the timeline cursor NOT follow a
manipulation (eg. when trimming clip content or moving an edit point)
?
This would enable me to watch a selected frame while moving the clip
side handle.
I'm not always very clear in english, I hope I was clear enough!
have a nice sunday,
Annaël

It doesn't tell you that because it's not true.
Select the clip-side handle of the edit trim tool and you can slip
all
you
like without changing timeline status.
