Maintaining Sync in Segment Mode
When you use Lift/Overwrite in Segment mode, filler is added to the sequence to maintain sync. When you move segments in the Timeline using Extract/Splice-in, sync may be broken. To maintain sync when you use Extract/Splice-in, you need to select the Segment Drag Sync Locks option in the Edit tab of the Timeline Settings dialog box. After moving a segment in the Timeline with Extract/Splice-in, this option maintains sync by adding filler to the following locations:
