PremierePro

Synchronize clips

Make sure that you’ve marked the sync points for each camera’s footage before you attempt to synchronize them. You can mark the sync points by setting similarly numbered markers for each clip or by reassigning each clip’s timecode. (See Add markers and Set timecode manually for a clip.)

Note: Adobe Premiere Pro uses an overlay edit when synchronizing clips. Take care not to overwrite adjacent clips if you have multiple clips on the same track.
  1. Select the clips you want to synchronize.
  2. Target a track (by clicking its track header) to align the other clips to it.

    For example, if you synchronize clips on their Out point, the end of each clip aligns with the Out point of the targeted track. A clip will be trimmed if synchronization causes its In point to fall before the sequence zero point.

    Note: If one track of a linked audio/video pair is unselected, the pair will become out of sync. Out‑of‑sync indicators will appear on the clips.
  3. Choose Clip > Synchronize, and then choose one of the following options:
    Clip Start
    Synchronizes clips at their In points.

    Clip End
    Synchronizes clips at their Out points.

    Timecode
    Synchronizes clips to the specified timecode. If you use the hours value in source timecode as a camera designator, select the Ignore Hours option to use only minutes, seconds, and frames to synchronize clips.

    Numbered Clip Marker
    Synchronizes clips to the specified numbered clip marker. Choose the marker number to use from the Marker pop‑up menu.

You can also use the Synchronize command to sync several video clips on separate tracks or unlinked audio and video tracks when you are not editing a multi‑camera sequence.
