Using Add Edit When Trimming
When you trim with several audio tracks in sync, you can create an edit in the silent or black
areas of the synced tracks. They occur in line with the track you trim, and they trim all the tracks
at once to maintain sync.

You can also add an edit to filler. For more information, see “Working with Add Edits (Match
Frames)” on page 723.
To use the Add Edit button while trimming:
1. Move the position indicator to the edit that you want to trim.
2. Select only the additional tracks that are in sync, and click the Add Edit button.
The system adds a transition at the location of your position indicator in the Timeline.
3. Select the transition and trim (be sure to select all the synced tracks).
As you trim, the system adds or removes frames from the additional tracks.
4. When you finish trimming, select Clip > Remove Match Frame Edits to remove the add edits
from the sync tracks .
Ganging Footage in Monitors
The Gang function does not combine tracks into a synced relationship but locks monitors in sync
so that you can move through footage in two or more monitors simultaneously. This function is
convenient when you view and mark the sequence and source material simultaneously, based on
syncing of the position indicators in each monitor.
You can gang the Source monitor and any number of pop-up monitors with the Record monitor.
For instance, before you edit them into a sequence, you can gang a music track in a pop-up
monitor, source footage in the Source monitor, and a sequence in the Record monitor. Then you
can view the footage, adjust the sync points, and mark them before you complete the edit.

The Gang button appears by default in the second row of buttons below the Source and Record
monitors.
