124 Chapter 6 Preparing the Source Clips for Editing
 If the timecode of your video and audio clips isn’t identical, and you slated all your shots
at the beginning with a clapper board, you can use In points to line up all the clips you
want to merge.
When you do this, the beginning of the resulting merged clip corresponds to the In
point you used, and all the clips line up at that point. The end of this merged clip
corresponds to the end of the clip with the latest timecode value.
 If the timecode of your video and audio clips isn’t identical, and you have one or more
shots that you tail-slated at the end, you can use Out points to line up all the clips you
want to merge.
When you do this, the end of the resulting merged clip corresponds to the Out point
you used, and all clips line up at that point. The beginning of this merged clip
corresponds to the beginning of the clip with the earliest timecode value.
For details on how to synchronize and merge clips in Final Cut Pro, see the section in
the Final Cut Pro documentation that describes working with merged clips.
