Identifying a Synchronization
Point
The Pro Tools Identify Sync Point command al-
lows you to identify a specific point within a re-
gion for audio spotting purposes.
Imagine the following sound effects spotting
scenario: You have a single sound effect that
consists of a creaky door slamming shut, fol-
lowed by a few seconds of ambient reverbera-
tion. The slam portion of the effect—which you
must precisely match to picture—occurs neither
at the very beginning of the audio file nor at the
very end. It is somewhere in the middle, making
it tough to spot.
In this scenario, use the Identify Sync Point
command to create a point in the region and
synchronize that point to a SMPTE frame.
To create a sync point in a region:
1 Click with the Selector at the point in the re-
gion that you want to synchronize to a SMPTE
frame location.
– or –
To place the edit cursor during standard play-
back mode (not Continuous, Playhead, or
other), press the Down Arrow key while playing
back.
2 Choose Edit > Identify Sync Point. The current
SMPTE time is automatically entered as the
SMPTE location for the sync point. An arrow in-
dicator appears in the audio region indicating
the location of this sync point.
