When users select this option, they must then choose a logsheet from the list. This
refreshes any association between logged events and clips within the specified logsheet.

Entering a Timecode Offset

1.9.1.

Context of Use

Imagine the logs and the recordings are made in different locations or on two different
setups with a timecode offset between the two. For example, the images are recorded live
at the event while the loggers work in a studio, with IPLogger on their laptop. The log
entries receive the PC timecode of the laptop and the recordings have the actual live
timecode.

When the clips are associated to the logsheet, the timecodes of the clips and the logs will
not match and you need to enter an offset. This timecode offset will be applied when:

importing a logsheet on a setup or

importing all the media related to a logsheet.

1.9.2.

Limitations

The TC Offset is available only when:

the logsheet is not locked

the user has the appropriate rights to modify the logsheet

there are log entries in the logsheet

1.9.3.

How to Define a Timecode Offset to
Synchronize Existing Logs and Clips

A tool is available to synchronize the timecode of the logs with the timecode of the clips
associated to the logsheet. To enter a timecode offset between logs and clips, proceed as
follows:

1. Click File > TC Offset
