Bringing Clips Back into Sync
Due to the nature of Insert Editing and Overwrite Editing, along with the fact
that you can lock/unlock your tracks or activate/deactivate tracks through the
break-off tabs, it is inevitable that at some stage your video and audio will get
out of sync. Fortunately, Apple has made it very easy to bring items back into sync.
If items are pushed out of sync a red box will appear at the beginning of the
clip in the Timeline where the sync trouble has occurred. The red box, which
appears in both the video and audio tracks, will have a figure indicating the
amount of sync slippage.
To bring the items back into sync:
■
1
Hold down the Control key and click inside the red box where the
numeric value of sync drift is displayed. Control clicking in the red box
brings up a dialog box with two possible options.
■
2
Select Slip into Sync or Move into Sync and release the mouse button.
The item or items selected will now be brought back into sync.
Move actually moves the edit in the Timeline, whereas Slip slides it within the
parameters of the existing clip.
