Fixing Sync Breaks
You fix sync breaks by eliminating the overlapping portion of out-of-sync tracks. You can do this
in one of several ways, depending on the type of break and your sequence. For more information,
see “Tips for Fixing Sync Breaks” on page 609.
You can customize the sync breaks display in the Timeline, for example to limit the display to
video tracks only. This can reduce clutter and help you focus on a particular set of fixes.
To restore frames to sync while Trimming:
t Perform one or more single-roller trims on the out-of-sync tracks.
Trim the exact number of sync-break frames displayed in the Timeline to reverse the break.
For more information on performing trims, see “Working with Trim Edits” on page 732.
To fix sync in Source/Record mode:
t Add new material or extract material from the out-of-sync track.
Add or extract the exact number of offset frames displayed in the Timeline.
To fix sync when Segment editing:
t Select and move the entire out-of-sync segment.
You can move the segment forward or backward in the opposite direction of the break to
reverse it. For more information on editing segments, see “Working with Segments” on
page 693.
To customize the Sync Breaks display:
t Click the Timeline Fast Menu button, and select Sync Breaks > option.
Understanding Sync Lock
The Sync Lock feature lets you maintain sync among several tracks while you add, move, trim,
or remove material in a sequence. For example, if you insert an edit into one track that is sync
locked to a second track, the system automatically inserts filler in the second track to maintain
sync between the two.
