Trimming with Sync-Locked Tracks
To trim with sync-locked tracks:
 | |
Sync-locked tracks aid only single-roller trim functions in Trim mode
because dual-roller trims do not cause sync breaks.
|
| 1. | |
While in Trim mode, click next to the tracks you want to keep in sync.
|
The Sync Lock icon appears, and the location of the position indicator
determines the sync point across tracks.
| |
You can also click the Sync Lock All button next to the Timecode button to
switch sync lock on and off for all tracks.
|
| 2. | |
Perform single-roller trims as necessary, with the following results:
|
| – |
|
When you trim the A-side of a transition forward, all other
segments locked in sync move forward with the trim. If the
transitions are staggered, this might split one or more of the
segments at the sync point established by the position indicator,
leaving fill.
|
If you trim the B-side of the transition in the same direction, the
additional sync-locked segments slide back in the sequence to
maintain sync until they encounter another segment in the same
track. At this point, you can trim no further and the system emits a
warning sound. Attempting to trim a transition when there is
another clip at the same point on another track fails unless the
other clip abuts only filler.

When you trim back the A-side of a transition, additional segments
locked in sync move back as well. If the segments are staggered
and one of the additional sync-locked segments encounters another
segment on the same track, you can trim no further and the system
emits a warning sound.
|
If you trim the B-side of the transition in the same direction, all
other segments locked in sync move forward to stay in sync. If the
transitions are staggered, this action might split one or more of the
sync-locked segments at the sync point established by the position
indicator. Filler is added where the split occurs.
