Info

This guide will take you through the process of synching video with externally recorded audio.

The goal is to make merged clips in the Project panel, in which the the video and the audio tracks are linked to make one independent clip.

If you have any questions, or would like to expand your knowledge, do not hesitate to ask a post-production specialist.

First, create three bins in the Project Panel:

- Merged

- RAW Audio

- RAW Video

Import your raw video in your RAW Video Bin

Import your audio in your RAW Audio Bin

Name your media - Keeping track of media can get out of hand very, VERY, VERY, quickly in this environment, so be on top of it from the get-go!!


Note
titleMerged Clips are Proxy File

The Merged Clip is not an external media file, it is simply a proxy file that points to the different pieces of media that has been merged into it.

Next, click OK

In the Project Panel, a new clip will appear labeled the same as the original video clip, but with the word ‘Merged’ attached to the end

Move the clip to the Merged Bin

Rinse and Repeat for all your clips


Note
titleSynch Audio with Audio

Audio-only clips may be merged with other audio-only clips; a video clip is not a requirement for a merged clip. Only one clip containing video may be used.
