Creating Audio Leader
To create tail leader for audio tracks:
1.  Load a clip that includes a section of captured tone into the Source pop-up monitor.
2.  Create a subclip from an appropriate section of the clip, according to your chosen specifications.
3.  Name this new subclip Head Leader or Tail Leader.
4.  Load this subclip into the Source pop-up monitor.
5.  Prepare the sound levels for leader without a sync point (no audio pop) by opening the Audio Mix tool and bringing the audio level all the way down for the entire clip.
6.  For leader that includes a sync point (audio pop), do the following:
a.  Find the appropriate sync point.
b.  Step one frame backward and place an add edit before the sync frame; then step two frames forward and place an add edit after the sync frame.
c.  Move the position indicator before the first add edit, and open the Audio Mix tool.
d.  Bring the audio level all the way down.
e.  Move the position indicator after the second add edit, and use the Audio Mix tool to bring the level all the way down.
For information on adding an edit, see Adding an Edit.
Once the leader is prepared, you can splice the leader during editing onto the audio tracks that you want to keep in sync. You can use the sync points for visually aligning tracks.
