    exactly 9 seconds? across all reels? … how many reels? are we talking DV, Digibeta or … ??

    possible ideas:
    you could dub your source tapes with new t/c minus the offest, then recapture from them.
    you could export your sequence as an edl or xml, then edit with a suitable text editor to fix the the offset.

    you got any idea how the offset got in there ?

    cheers

    another thought

    how about selecting each affected clip and going to Modify > Timecode…
    in the Modify Timecode window change “Frame to Set” to “First”
    check the Source TC checkbox
    change the Timecode value to the corrected value

    repeat for each clip.

    BUT be warned … this is a destructive process, you can’t Undo (although you can repeat the process changing back your ‘corrections’)

    cheers

    i tried but my timeline is still showing the same results. if i press f the frame loaded shows that the timecode has changed in the master clip but the timeline doesnt update. i tried reconnecting but i always get the same results.

    i would like to change to timecode in the master reel and then see the timeline change according to my changes.

    btw, i used this
