Editing to Avoid Sync Breaks
One way to avoid breaking sync is to maintain the duration of the track when you add or remove material, as follows:
 | |
When adding material to a track, use the Overwrite function instead of
Splice-in, whenever possible.
|
| |
When removing material from a track, use Lift instead of Extract. (The
Lift function leaves filler of the same duration when you remove
footage.)
|
| |
When performing Segment mode edits, use the Lift/Overwrite function
instead of Extract/Splice-in whenever possible. (Lift/Overwrite leaves
filler behind and overwrites material at the new destination,
maintaining sync in both cases.)
|
| |
In Trim mode, you can sync lock tracks to avoid breaking sync, or you
can use the Alt key (Windows) or the Ctrl key (Macintosh) for adding
black during trims, as described in Maintaining Sync While Trimming.
You can also perform dual-roller trims (that maintain duration) instead
of single-roller trims.

There are many cases in which you cannot avoid splicing or extracting material, or performing single-roller trims that break sync.
