Can't sync manually anymore....????

PostTue May 13, 2025 1:33 am

Prior to DVR20, I could sync audio and video manually. Now apparently that's gone, and I'm trying to figure out how to do it now. Let me explain.

I have a project the client shot old-school. The video has no audio track, and a slate/clapper is used to create a visual sync point. The audio is recorded on a separate file, and I listen for the sound of the slate and watch the waveform to create a sync point on the audio track.

Prior to DVR20, I could set select the corresponding video and audio tracks while on the Media page and add In points then click the Link/Unlink button directly below the audio panel to sync the audio and video.

Now that Link/Unlink button is gone (note that I'm referring to the button on the MEDIA page, not the EDIT page). I even went into an old project that I'd done this on and the Link/Unlink button is now gone. I've attached a screenshot of where the button used to be, but now isn't.

I've tried contacting DVR support directly with NO response so I'm here. Any ideas on how I can sync audio and video manually?
Thanks

Some things did get moved around in version 20, like Relink Selected Clips. Maybe your option got moved as well.

Currently, the Reference Manual for 20 is still version 19, but maybe there is a New Features manual that goes over this?

I looked and it's pretty much just the fancy new things that are mentioned.

You are looking in the wrong window. You should be in the Audio/Waveform display.
