Offset Select this button to set an offset, in frames, for the time. Type
the offset in the field to the right of this button, or click and drag on the
bottom edge of the field to adjust the value. The frame offset is with
respect to the time you set for the view. For example, if you set a frame
offset of 5 and selected Follow Master, the view always displays the frame
that is five frames ahead of the frame currently running in master time.
If you deselected Follow Master, the view always displays the frame that
is five frames ahead of the frame running in the standalone time of the
view.
