2: Select synchronous points
Use the two list boxes in the middle of the ClipSync dialog box to select synchronous points.
Synchronize to timecode
If video and audio clips have identical timecodes, synchronizing to timecode can be very useful.
Clips of different lengths are aligned to the first common
TC value. Assuming that clips share
common timecode values, the following rules apply:
w Several audio clips from the same Reel are assigned to the same synchronized clip if per-
mitted by the Source Tracks:
V
reel#1
+ A1
reel#2
+ A2
reel#2
+ A3
reel#2
= VA1A2A3
.sync
w Audio clips from different Reels are combined separately with the video clip:
w V
reel#1
+ A1
reel#2
+ A2
reel#3
+ A3
reel#4
= VA 1
.sync
+ VA2
.sync
+ VA3
.sync
w One audio clip and several video clips with matching timecodes can be synchronized:
V
1
, V
2
, V

+ A1 = V

.sync
+ V

Synchronize to mark-in or mark-out/clip-in or clip-out
You can use existing mark-ins or mark-outs as synchronous points. Clip-ins and clip-outs are
always present but can’t really be set individually.
Otherwise the rules described under “Synchronizing to timecode” apply.
Synchronize to marker
Yo u c a n s y n c h r on i z e t o
w the first Markers in the clips (an earlier TC counts) or
w named Markers (i.e. with a comment that has to be identical in all markers to be
matched).
Otherwise the rules described under “Synchronizing to timecode” apply.
