OK – done a bit more investigating. Set up a dv project and captured some dv footage. Did some edits on the timeline ( not the program window ) then exported this section, imported it and placed above the edited section on the timeline( so i could use as a comparison ). I then right clicked the captured footage in the project panel – make offline, media files deleted. Then right clicked the captured footage in the project panel – batch capture and captured the footage again. When i compared the footage in the timeline against the saved export the edits were out of sync.
Not sure if this is at all clear an explanation but heres hoping.
Many thanks in advance.
