Audio Files

Label the files by scene and take #

Once the image and sound files are in the AVID Project you need to sync the audio and video files.

Make another bin called AutoSync

Alt/Option drag the matching image and sound clips to the AutoSync bin

Choose Waveform Analysis

click OK

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

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

Your Grouped Clip using these two files will not contain all your clips 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

Solo the track that has the double system audio that you want to use and make sure it is in sync.

If the clip is in sync then you need to turn the clip into an actual clip instead of a group clip.

Select it in the bin
