Sound Synchronize in Premiere CC

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:


  1. Align the clips manually by dragging them into place until they are synchronized.

  2. Align the clips using the Synchronize function. To do so, do the following:

  • Select the clips you wish to synchronize.

  • Choose Clip > Synchronize.

The Synchronize dialog box 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

  • Audio (Wave form)



Click OK. Your clips are now synchronized.


Merge clips in the Project panel


To merge clips in the Project panel, do the following:

Select the video clip you wish to merge audio clips to. Note that you can have only one video clip in any merged clip.

  • Shift or Control-click (Command-click for Mac OS) to select the audio-only clips you wish to merge with the video clip.

  • Do one of the following:

  1. Choose Clip > Merge Clips

  2. 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 In point: For locating sync based on the In point, at the clap of the slate, for example.

  • 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.
