Sync Clips Window
If your footage does not share common timecode, or if the existing timecode needs to be
modified for any reason, the Media Pool in the Cut page offers a Sync Clips window that allows
you to modify the sync of all clips in a bin. It is accessed by clicking on the Sync Clips Window
icon on top of the Media Pool.
The Media Pool Sync Clips Window Icon
The Sync Clips window opens and shows a live multi-camera sync Viewer on the left, and a
standard clip Viewer on the right. There is also a timeline below that shows the temporal
relationship of all the clips in the bin.

Sync By Tools
DaVinci Resolve offers several tools to automatically align your shots into perfect sync.
Timecode: This button will try to align all the clips in the Sync Clips window by
timecode; this is the default option.
Audio: This button will try to align all the clips in the Sync Clips window by analyzing the
audio tracks of each clip. In order for this to work, each clip must have at least a portion
of the same audio track recorded clearly enough to analyze. An error message will
notify you of which tracks could not be synced by this method.
In-Point: This button will try to align all the clips in the Sync Clips window by their user
set In point. This is useful if you have a common mark that was shot across all cameras,
for example a slate that claps closed, or a camera flash.
Out Point: This button will try to align all the clips in the Sync Clips window by their user
set Out point. This is useful if there was a common tail slate.
Sync: This button will execute the Sync By method selected above.
