Editing With Audio

To move a linked item into sync:

m

In the Timeline, Control-click the item’s out-of-sync indicator, then choose Move into
Sync from the shortcut menu.

If the item is an anchor item, it moves into sync with the topmost out-of-sync audio
item in the group, starting on track A1 and going down. (When you first link multiple
audio items to a video item in the Timeline, that video item is considered the “anchor”
item to which the sync of all other linked audio items is compared. If you’re linking a
group of audio items without a video item, the topmost audio item that appears in the
Timeline acts as the anchor item.) Otherwise, the selected item moves into sync with
the anchor item it’s linked to, as shown below.

There are additional ways to resync your clips. For more information on getting your
clips back into sync, see Final Cut Express Help, Chapter 19, “Advanced Editing and
Trimming Techniques.”
