Do one of the following:
Choose Clip > Merge Clips
Right-click (Control-click for Mac OS), and then choose Merge Clips from the shortcut menu.
The Merge Clips dialog box launches. Choose from one of the following options for the point of synchronization:

Based on the Out point: For locating sync based on the Out point, at the clap of the tail slate, for example.
Based on matching timecode: For locating sync based on common timecode between the clips.
Based on clip markers: For locating a sync point based on a numbered clip marker in the middle of the shot. This function is disabled unless all component clips have at least one numbered marker.
Click OK.
Your merged clip will now appear in the Project panel, with a name that matches the video clip, or the top-most selected audio clip (based on current sort order in the bin) if there is no video. “- Merged” is appended to the end of the new merged clip’s name. Users may rename this item, if necessary.
