Autosyncing Clips
616
Use the following guidelines when autosyncing:
• You can autosync audio clips with video clips only. To link two or more video clips or audio
clips, use the Grouping option described in “Understanding Grouping and Multigrouping
Clips” on page 1292.
• You can create only one autosynced subclip at a time. You cannot autosync numerous pairs
of audio and video clips simultaneously.
• If the audio and video clips do not have matching source or auxiliary timecode, you must
establish common sync frames. To do this, mark In points (or Out points) on both clips
before you autosync. When you autosync using this method, the whole clip is taken into the
subclip.
• If you autosync clips of different lengths, the longer clip is truncated to the length of the
shorter clip; video clips override audio clips.
• If you autosync according to common timecodes that are staggered (one clip starts later than
the other), the later starting timecode becomes the start of the new subclip. The clip with the
earlier starting timecode is trimmed accordingly.
