Managing Sync Breaks
The Timeline displays sync breaks whenever they occur during editing. They appear at break points as white numbers indicating negative or positive offset values relative to zero.
Sync breaks occur when a frame-accurate relationship between two clips or between the audio and video tracks within a single clip is offset during editing. Often this happens unintentionally when you perform one of the following actions:
 | |
Selecting only one track in a synced relationship (for example, audio
only or video only) and performing edit functions that lengthen the
duration, such as Splice-in, Extract/Splice-in, or adding frames in Trim
mode
|
| |
Selecting only one synced track and performing edit functions that
shorten the duration, such as Extract, Extract/Splice-in, or removing
frames in Trim mode
|
Your Avid system provides several features for avoiding, tracking, and removing sync breaks, as described in the following sections.
