Here are some important notes!!!

You are limited to 5 Audio tracks when using Waveform Analysis. That means that if your video file has 2 audio tracks

Image Removed

And your Audio file that you want to sync with the video has 5 tracks

 

Image Removed

Your Grouped Clip using these two files will not contain all your Audio Tracks only 5 of them.

2 of the files from your video clips and the tracks 3-5 of your audio clips. The only way around this is to decide what audio you want to use from your audio tracks and make a new master clip of that and or modify your video clips to only have one track of audio. You have to keep the at least one track of audio on your video track to use "waveform analysis"
