CUSTOMIZING VEGAS SOFTWARE CHP. 18
The following are the different time units available (hh=hours, mm=minutes, ss=seconds, and ff=frames):
Editing the ruler offset
The ruler doesn’t necessarily need to start with zero at the far left side. You can enter an offset to change the
orientation of the ruler in a project. One use of this is to create a lead-in into a project. A five-second offset
would mean that the ruler would start at -5 seconds and would be at 0 five seconds into the project.
Note:
You cannot create a ruler offset in an audio CD
layout project.
