i can set the frame offeset inside the Export to tape tool (which BTW is horrible, you can't scrub, you MUST use ":" or ";" in the timecode fiellds or the deck just goes to the beginning of the tape etc), but I'm still 12 frames off. there is a frame offset in the Blackmagic device control settings, but that does nothing for the output to tape.
I don't want to have to export a quicktime and then open it in Final Cut to output to tape, the whole object is to get away from FCP because it's a horrible ghorrible program.....TIA
This particular system is an 8core Nehelem Mac Pro with 32GB of ram, OS 10.7.5.
