It’s hard for me to explain what I’m talking about. Let me try again and thanks for your reply by the way.

What I’m talking about came up while I was teaching L-cuts. I teach the students that if you use dual roller trim that you will NOT break sync in your timeline.

Now, that being said, if you create an L-cut and you have a source of video over a different source of audio your sequence CAN become “out of sync” if you’re not careful although, as you said, Avid will not “warn” you of that because it only gives you the white numbers when the audio and video from the SAME SOURCE is off.

So what I’m basically wondering is what exactly is Avid’s defintion of sync as it relates to the timeline? Because I’m taught that using dual roller will not break it, however I can make my audio and video clips not match by using dual roller.

I’d just like to be able to tell my students what I’m referring to when I say they can’t break sync when using dual roller trim. Hopefully that makes more sense. It’s hard to put all this into writing. Thanks again.
