What is happening is one of the bands is providing a bunch of media with timecode embedded in it to be synced to their tracks.

I was hoping catalyst would look at the embedded time code and work out the sync for itself! ie look at the values in the track and when it receives those values play those frames.

I'm very lazy! I'll just have to write a little spread sheet to calculate the in frame points as there are quite a few clips...

I take your point about not remaining in sync if triggered from desk.

Thanks again.
