Transfer slate info from audio to video clips
Silverstack XT is capable of transferring slate information from audio to video clips. Similar to the automatic audio sync feature in Silverstack Lab, associated audio and video clips can be detected using timecode matching and slate metadata can be transferred.
To start the process, select the video bin or folder in the library and click the “Transfer Audio Slate Info” entry in Silverstack’s media menu (found in the top left toolbar). Within the following window, select the audio bin you want to transfer slate metadata from. You can view the video clips left of the checkbox column in the center and the audio clips on the right, as shown below.
