Synchronise rushes

Syncing rushes used to be a very difficult process, in where you would have the film and the sound on separate reals and you would have to sync the two together using the clapper board as your reference; both visually and sound. this had to be done for each scene and shot that was edited together, with making a mistake meaning that they had to take things apart and then put it back together again; and so was a very long and painstaking process.

Today’s method is slightly easier with the computers doing this for you. This is where we take our sound and our video clips and place an in point, using the clapperboard as our reference to where they must go . So for instance  you find the place in your footage where the clapperboard is used, and you place an in point. You do this for both your audio and your footage, you then highlight both clips that you want synced and then go to the dropdown menu (bin) and press the auto sync button, this will then create a new clip with both the shot and the sound together. This would then be filed in a new bin where you can then go back later and edit it into the timeline.
