Changing the Sync of Merged Clips

Once a merged clip is created, the only way to modify the sync relationship of the items
within it is to make subframe adjustments. (For more information on making subframe
sync adjustments, see

“Subframe Synchronization of Audio and Video.”

)

To make larger changes to the sync of items within a merged clip, you must re-create it
using the original items.
