Sync audio and video
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 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 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.
For finer control of the syncing process, you can use custom settings to adjust several
different parameters.
