Audio sync wizard
The Audio Sync Wizard is related to the Audio Panel. You can open it via the quick access button Media or via the user interface of the audio panel itself. Depending on whether you want to transfer audio metadata or not, step two of the process is optional:
- Clip selection
- Metadata import preview
- Automatic audio sync
In general, to sync audio with video, you first need to select the video bin and after that, select the appropriate audio bin via the audio sync wizard.
