Part VI
If you move the audio item to the left, so that it overlaps the first video item, out-of-sync
indicators appear. The same happens if you move the audio item to the right.
What if you move all three items so that they overlap, but all are out of sync with one
another? The first two items show out-of-sync indicators relative to one another, and
the third item shows an out-of-sync indicator relative to the item it overlaps.
Understanding Sync Relationships Between Multiple Linked
Audio Items
Up to 24 audio items can be linked to a single video item in the Timeline. As a result,
some complex sync relationships may result if you slip more than one of a clip’s audio
items (for information on slip edits, see “
Slipping Clips in the Timeline
These are easily managed using the same out-of-sync indicators described earlier.
When you link multiple items together in the Timeline, the video item is considered the
anchor item to which the sync of all other linked audio items is compared. If you’re
linking audio clip items without a video item, then the topmost audio item in the
Timeline acts as the anchor item.
