How to Synchronize Clips
1: Select objects
Open the shortcut menu for a Rack containing clips to be synchronized and select ClipSync
(either for all the clips in the Rack or for selected clips).
The ClipSync dialog box is displayed containing a list of the selected or marked, valid clips from
the rack. For example, if you have selected only video clips, there is nothing for ClipSync to do
and so the list is empty.
You can then select specific clips from this list or synch them all (select no or all clips).
ClipSync functions on the basis of synchronous points, i.e. points in clips that are posi-
tioned frame by frame exactly above one another on the Timeline (see diagram above).
For example, you can locate, mark and align sound of the slate in the image and the asso-
ciated peak in the audio clip waveform (in other words, synchronize the two clips). Natu-
rally, you must already have inserted your individualized marking in the form of a mark-
in/mark-out or Marker before starting ClipSync. If you’re synchronizing with a timecode
or clip-in/clip-out, you can start ClipSync immediately.
