Sync audio and video automatically
Final Cut Pro can automatically analyze and sync the audio and video clips in your project.
For example, if you select two video clips and three separate audio clips from different sources
that were all recorded during the same take, Final Cut Pro automatically analyzes and syncs the
clips together into a new clip in the Event Browser.
Final Cut Pro analyzes the clips for sync points such as markers you’ve added, timecode, file
creation date, and audio content. If no sync points can be found, the clips are synced at their
respective starting points.
