SYNC AUDIO AND TRIM CLIPS
This section explains how to sync audio and video, as well as trim clips in REDCINE-X PRO. If you’re encoding
an .R3D file (which has embedded audio) or a video that does not have a corresponding audio file, skip this
procedure.
When syncing and trimming content, you can choose a frame from the video or a sound in the audio as a refer-
ence point. For example, you can find a frame in the video, set that as your reference point, and then find the
corresponding sound in the audio. Alternatively, you can choose a specific sound in the audio as your reference
point, and then find the corresponding frame from the video. The instructions in the section below explain how
to sync based on a frame in the video.
For more information about syncing audio in REDCINE-X PRO, check out the REDCINE-X PRO: AUDIO SYNC
video tutorial available at
