Linking Video and Audio Clip Items
When you link clip items, a sync relationship is established between those items,
according to their position in the Timeline. All linked clip items are marked in sync, and
this new sync relationship is tracked.

Note: When you open linked items in the Viewer, each linked mono audio clip item or
stereo pair of clip items appears in an Audio tab in the Viewer.

Tip: Dragging linked clip items from the Timeline into the Browser creates a single
merged clip containing those items. This makes managing your media and keeping it
in sync much easier, especially if you want to use it in other sequences. For more
information on working with merged clips, see Chapter 3, “
Merging Clips from Dual
System Video and Audio
,” on page 45.
