If the item is an anchor item (either the sole video item among linked items, or the
topmost audio item if there is no video item), it moves into sync with the topmost out-
of-sync audio item in the group, starting on track A1 and going down. Otherwise, the
selected item moves into sync with the anchor item to which it’s linked.
Slipping a Clip Item Into Sync
This operation leaves the out-of-sync clip item in the same position in your sequence, but
slips the In and Out points within that item so that the item is in sync with the
corresponding audio or video anchor item to which it’s linked. This works in the same way
as the Slip tool. For more information, see “
Slipping Clips in the Timeline
Before syncing

indicator and choose Move

After syncing
The anchor item is moved into
sync with the topmost audio
item to which it’s linked.
