Thank you Drew. I'm with you so far but whether the movie track is locked or unlocked, when I change the "Plays at SMPTE" TC the movie moves. It's always locked to the timecode and I cant leave it at the bar and beat position and adjust the TC. So if I place the movie start at bar 5 for example and want to change logic's TC to match the movie I cant do it. I need to set the timecode first then move the movie and drag it into position. Just trying to get a workflow going in Logic coming from another DAW!

Is there a way to unlock the movie from SMPTE. Hoping I’m missing something here! You can lock and unlock every other type of event but not movies. So if I import a movie first, then set the SMPTE start time to Bar 5 = 10.05.23.23 or wherever, the movie then whizzes off hours into the future. In Cubase it asks you do you want to keep bars and beats position or SMPTE? You can't use SMPTE display offset because all that does is displays the wrong timecode so when you export a Broadcast WAV it won’t snap to the correct time code. Is there a better way of working withy multiple cues in the same movie?

Hi Starting to build a large orchestral template. I have read people saying that I should not use the multitimbral instruments but create a multi in the environment. I think the reason used to be something to do with CC's but trying out multitimbral instruments I can't find a difference. Is there a reason why I shouldn't be checking the multi-timbral box when creating a software instrument? It seems a quicker than doing it in the environment. Thanks in advance! NZ
