AVID - Syncing Video and Audio With Matching Timecode

AutoSync is the function in AVID that links your sound clips to your

video clips and makes new "Synced SubClips" that you use for editing.

AVID 4K Workflow - How To Link and Transcode for Offline Editing

After you have transcoded your video files and IMPORTED your audio files into your AVID Project

Make sure the timecode on the image and sound files match

On each bin choose to show the column that has the starting and ending timecode

Select the bin with the Video files and right click on the top portion of the bin and choose

>Choose Column

>Start and >End to show the starting and ending timecode

Select the bin with the Audio files and right click on the top portion of the bin and choose

>Choose Column

>Start and >End to show the starting and ending timecode

Do both the timecodes appear to be in the same timecode range?

See this example

Do the same with the bin with Video files so that both start and end timecode is displayed

Compare the Sound Start and end timecode

To the Image Start and end timecode

See they are similar that is good that means that the timecode matched and the 

AutoSync with timecode should work

If the timecode is not in the same range and is drastically different then the AutoSync by timecode won't work.

• Create a new bin called "SYNC TEMP".

• Create a new bin called "SYNC TEMP".

Hold down the Alt/Option key while dragging the files from both image and sound bins to the Sync Temp folder so a copy of both are in the sync bin

Make sure you didn't move the clps you just made a copy

Select ALL the clips in the SYNC TEMP bin, and right click. Select “AutoSync”.

Choose "Source Timecode"

You can choose to keep audio on clips with video up to 16 tracks

Same choices for audio only clips you can choose what tracks you wanna include up to 16 tracks

Select "OK". This will create a new subclip with synced video and sound.

Create a new bin called "SYNCED CLIPS" at the same level as your VIDEO and AUDIO bins.

Click and drag your new subclips from the “SYNC TEMP” bin to the new “SYNCED CLIPS” bin or whatever you want. . .

Delete the remaining clips from the “SYNC TEMP” bin.

Repeat this process until you have synced all of your clips
