In almost all cases, the first frame of video is lo-
cated at the start of the Media Station|PT se-

quence. However, Pro Tools sequences often
have silence at the head to create countoffs or si-
lence.
For example, a Media Station|PT sequence may
start at 1:00:00 while the matching Pro Tools
session starts at 00:55:00—allowing five seconds
of silence before the audio starts. In this case,
Media Station|PT parks on the first frame of
video and waits for Pro Tools to reach 1:00:00
before it begins to play the video. Regardless of
their respective start times, Pro Tools and
Media Station|PT will always play at the same
time code values unless an offset has been en-
tered in the Video Satellite Offset field in the
Pro Tools Session Setup window.

Therefore, it is not required that the
Media Station|PT sequence and Pro Tools ses-
sion start at the same time in order to play in
sync.

beginning of the Pro Tools session, set the
start time of the capture to be equal to the
Session Start in Pro Tools (Setup > Session

In some cases, starting playback from
Media Station|PT at a point which is more
than a minute earlier than the start of the
Pro Tools session may fail. Change the
Pro Tools session start time to be earlier.
