If you are using a videocard like Blackmagic, then there is a checkbox to compensate for the latency.
True; the checkbox is there, but the not-so-clever-thing of this offset-parameter is that it only works in a positive offset.
Since the video cards like the Blackmagic ones need 1,5 ~ 2 frames to render their signal (on my system), the offset should be negative.
I do understand though that a DAW can’t play a video-signal earlier than its data reaches the CPU, but then this offset-feature should create a delay for the audio-engine in order to get the video and audio in sync.
On my system, I have to put the start position of the videotrack 2 frames before the start position of the actual project, in order to have it all in sync.
This negative-offset-feature would come in very handy I think.
