Autosyncing Clips
When you capture footage that includes both audio and video, your Avid editing application
automatically establishes sync when it creates clips in the bin. Autosyncing applies to audio and
video clips that you capture separately, usually from two separate sources. Autosyncing creates a
new subclip that displays sync breaks in the Timeline as though the audio and video were
captured simultaneously.
Example of sync break information in the Timeline

Understanding Autosyncing
Autosyncing is often used for projects in which picture and sound were captured separately.
These clips are often synced based on common film timecode, sound timecode, or auxiliary
timecode.
You can also autosync
™
any audio and video clips based on a user-defined In point or Out point
relationship that you establish with marks. For example, you can use the slate as a common
visual and audio reference for autosyncing the clips.
