Timecode Synchronization
Vegas Pro can generate MIDI timecode and MIDI clock or be triggered from MIDI timecode. These
features allow you to synchronize your Vegas Pro project with other audio applications and external audio
hardware.
Generate MIDI Timecode

Generating MIDI timecode
1. Specify a MIDI Output device to which you will send the timecode and a Frame rate for the
timecode. These options can be found on the Sync page of the Preferences dialog. For more
information, see "Preferences - Sync Tab" on page 609.
2. From the Options menu, choose Timecode, and choose Generate MIDI Timecode from the
submenu.
Vegas Pro will generate MTC starting wherever you click Play .
Viewing outgoing timecode
To view the outgoing timecode, right-click the Time Display and choose MIDI Timecode Out from the
shortcut menu. The text will now display the outgoing MTC time.
