Synchronizing Audio with an
Avid Sequence
Once you have imported an audio file or se-
quence from Pro Tools into a bin in the Avid ap-
plication, you can synchronize it with video.
This is especially useful for verifying sync with
the original video sequence, then laying audio
and video back to tape or creating a digital
movie with your final mix.
To synchronize an edited audio file or sequence
with the original video sequence:
1 Ensure that the audio exported from Pro Tools
is now residing in a bin within your current
project.
2 Drag the original sequence to the Record
Monitor to see all elements in the Timeline.
The original sequence displays in the Timeline.
3 Drag the imported audio clip or sequence
from the bin to the Source Monitor. New Source
Track buttons for the source appear to the left of
the Track buttons for the Timeline.
4 Use the controls underneath the Source Mon-
itor to locate the first frame of the portion of the
clip that you want to edit into the sequence:
• To begin playing the clip, click Play (or
press the Spacebar). Click Play or press the
Spacebar again to Pause.
• To move to the beginning of the clip, click
Rewind (or press the Home key).
• To move to the end of the clip, click Fast-
Forward (or press the End key).
• To nudge by frame, click Step Forward 1
Frame or Step Backward 1 Frame (or press
the Left/Right Arrow keys).
• To scrub, click and drag the cursor beneath
the Source Monitor. (Enable the Caps Lock
to hear audio while scrubbing.)
