I feel I asked this once before but I cant for the life of me find any occurrence of where I did, so here’s the question (which may be a repeat).
I’ve tried various combinations of; Video Start Offset, Timecode Start, etc. and all just start from the start of the attached video. What am I doing wrong?
Indeed, changing Video start offset is the thing to change, as described here:
The problem may be that you are entering the timecode burned into the video as the start offset in Dorico’s dialog, but unless the timecode burned into the video starts at 00:00:00:00, it won’t match up. You need to use the absolute offset into the video file, regardless of the shown timecode. If you need to skip the first 30 seconds of the video, set the start offset to 30 seconds.
I have the similar issue,
I wanted the video to start at 13:02:26:17 on bar 1 beat 1, and I tried to enter 13:02:26:17 in Video Offset or Timecode Offset areas, but neither worked. The video in Dorico still starts from its original starting Timecode.
Yeah, I’ve run into a weird issue regarding this, where offset doesn’t work as you’d expect. Timecode issue – video start offset is affecting my markers?
For me I consider timecode start to be the “parent” and offset to be the “child” relative to that parent - so you should be able to simply offset relative from the start timecode. However it does not seem to behave this way, instead I’ve found that offset also seems to change the start timecode too, or they are somehow linked in a way they shouldn’t be, and I haven’t quite cracked the code on that one.
