Couldn't find this in the forum: How do I match frame to the synced audio part of a clip?

To explain the reason for this: I have synced audio clips, of which the audio part of the external recorder is longer than that of the embedded audio of the video clips. So sometimes it would be nice to be able to use this "extra" audio of the external recorder, which gets truncated when autosyncing the clips.

So you want to extend audio from recorder? Make it longer than clip from camera?

Yes, for example: someone continues to say something interesting which was not recorded on the camera clip, but I have the audio recorded. Then I want to use this audio with another image clip etc.

Make sure you have audio from external recorder selected in media pool. Then right click on clip you want to extend on your timeline and click Conform Lock with media pool clip. There is bug however in DR 17. So you might get your audio muted or lose waveform. Then right click on your linked audio on timeline go to clip attributes-audio and select again stereo and linked channel. If you just lose audio waveforms in clip attributes switch stero to mono, go back to timeline and then switch back to stereo. And you will get back your waveform. Let me know if it worked
