Clips that are merged in the Timeline are synchronized from Clip Start for each component clip. To merge clips based on Clip End,
Timecode, or Numbered Marker, use the synchronize function prior to merging the clips. 
Synchronize clips in the Timeline panel
Synchronizing clips aligns multiple clips in the Timeline panel. After synchronizing the clips, you can create a merged clip.
To synchronize clips in the Timeline panel, first edit the clips into the Timeline panel, and then do one of the following:
Align the clips manually by dragging them into place until they are synchronized.
Align the clips using the Synchronize function. To do so, do the following:
1. Select the clips you wish to synchronize.
2. Choose Clip > Synchronize.
The Synchronize dialog launches. Choose from one of the following options for the point of synchronization:
Based on the Clip Start
Based on the Clip End
Based on matching timecode
Based on clip markers
Click OK. Your clips are now synchronized.
Editing with merged clips
In general, working with merged clips is much like working with any other clip. There are some workflow differences that should be noted,
however.
Editing merged clips with gaps into the Timeline
There are implications to how merged clips behave when editing them into the timeline, specifically, if the clips contain “gaps” in their component
structure.
When there is another component clip available If an In or Out point is marked in a gap in the audio or video, and there is another component
clip available above or below that gap, a track is used for the gap when the merged clip is edited into the Timeline.
When no component clip is available Note that it is possible to merge audio and video and have places in the merged clip where there is no
other component clip in the gap. If you have marked and In or Out point in a gap such as this, you will receive a warning that states, “Invalid edit.
No media present in source clip’s marked In/Out range” when attempting to edit the merged clip into the Timeline. The “no drop” icon will appear if
you attempt to drag and drop the merged clip into the Timeline.
Black will play for any gap in the video. Silence will play for the gap in audio, unless there is another component audio clip available on
another track.
Trimming merged clips
Trimming merged clips is much like trimming any other clip, save for the following exceptions:
During trimming, the trim is applied equally to component clips, preserving any offsets.
To trim the edge of a single component clip, users can temporarily break sync by holding down the Alt/Option modifier while dragging.
When trimming individual component clips, snapping occurs at the ends of other component when snapping is on.
Normal trimming rules apply; a merged clip can only be trimmed to the point where there is at least one frame remaining in any of the
