Sony SAC7000 User Manual

You can use your system’s external monitor for previewing video playback. You must have an OHCI IEEE-1394 adapter and a device to 
convert the DV signal to video, such as a DV camcorder, deck, or media converter. 

To specify an external monitor, click the External Monitor button ( 

) on the Video Preview window, or choose Preferences 

from the Options menu and click the Video tab. 

Other settings for the external monitor can also be found on the Video tab. For more information, see 

ACID has tools that allow you to adjust the tempo of a project to easily synchronize audio with specific video frames. 

Add your audio track(s) and video to your project. 

If the Video Preview window is not displayed, choose Video from the View menu. 

Click the Play button ( 

) to begin playback. 

Press H each time you want to place a time marker at a frame you want to emphasize (where an explosion is heard, for example). 

Click the Stop button ( 

) to stop playback. 

Return to the leftmost time marker and fine tune its placement so it coincides exactly with the desired video frame. 

Place the cursor at the point to which you want to synchronize your time marker. For example, you might want the frame that you 

marked in step six to coincide with a downbeat. 

Right-click the time marker and select Adjust Tempo to Match Marker to Cursor from the shortcut menu. The new tempo appears 

in the track list. 

Press T to insert a tempo change marker. The adjusted tempo is detected and inserted into the tempo marker’s box. The tempo 

change marker preserves synchronization between the time marker and location on the beat ruler as you perform editing further 
down the timeline. For more information, see 

Repeat steps six through nine to synchronize the rest of your video.
