To use replace edit to spot a sound effect or action video clip into the Timeline:
1 Move the playhead in the Timeline to the clip that contains the moment you want to
align the new incoming audio or video clip with, and position it on the exact frame that
you want to line up with a frame of the clip you’re going to edit into the Timeline.
2 Click the appropriate audio and video destination controls of the empty track you want
to edit the incoming clip into.
3 Open a clip into the Source Viewer.
4 Move the playhead in the Source Viewer to the frame that you want to line up with the
frame at the position of the playhead in the Timeline. This may be the sample of a sound
effect that corresponds to the action in a particular frame of your program’s video, or a
frame of video that corresponds to a particular sound in your program’s audio.
In the example shown below, the beginning of an audio cue of a billiard ball being hit is
being lined up with the frame in which the cue ball is first hit in the video.
5 If necessary, set In and Out points in the Timeline to restrict how much of the incoming
clip will be edited. Otherwise, the entire source clip will be edited into the Timeline.
In the Source Viewer to the left is an SFX clip we want to edit into the Timeline
to match the visuals of a cue ball being hit, shown in the Timeline Viewer at right
6 Now that the playheads are aligned on the frames that must match one another in
both the Source and Timeline Viewers, choose Edit > Replace, click the Replace
Clip button in the toolbar, press F11, or drag any clip onto the Replace overlay in the
TimelineViewer.
The resulting replace edit, in which the incoming Source Viewer
clip is aligned perfectly with the video
The SFX source clip has now been edited into the specified audio track, with the
source frame at the Source Viewer playhead perfectly aligned with the frame at the
Timeline playhead so that the cue ball hit is in sync with the visuals.
