Working with Segments
700
As you drag the segment, the monitors maintain their Source/Record configuration rather
than shift to the four-frame display or two-frame display.
Maintaining Sync with Segment Edits
When you use the Lift/Overwrite tool, the application adds filler to the sequence to maintain
sync. When you move segments in the Timeline using Extract/Splice-in, the sync might be
broken.
To maintain sync when you use Extract/Splice-in, select the Segment Drag Sync Locks option in
the Edit tab of the Timeline Settings dialog box. After you move a segment in the Timeline with
Extract/Splice-in, this option maintains sync by adding filler to the following locations:
• Where the segment was moved from in the sequence
• On all other sync-locked tracks that correspond to the new location of the segment you
moved
You can move either an audio segment or a video segment. You can also maintain sync for some
edits if you enable link selection in the Timeline (see “Linked Clips” on page 695).
To move a segment and keep sync:
1. Double-click Timeline in the Settings list in the Project window.
The Timeline Settings dialog box opens.
2. Select the Segment Drag Sync Locks option in the Edit tab.
3. Click OK.
4. In the Track Selector panel, click the Sync Lock button for the video, audio and data tracks
that you want to keep in sync.
5. Click the Extract/Splice-in button.
6. Click an audio or video segment, and drag it to the new location.
In the following example, an audio segment in track A2 is moved. The new location for the audio
segment has filler added to the video track. All segments remain in sync.
