For information about synchronizing Soundtrack Pro to an external video deck or audio
recorder, see “
Synchronizing Soundtrack Pro to External Timecode
Note: Some broadcast-quality video output devices receive both the video and audio
from a project. When you use a video output device that supports both video and
audio output, Soundtrack Pro automatically routes your audio output to this device to
provide the best possible synchronization of the audio and video.
