Enabling and Disabling Audio Track Synchronization

By default, when you offset or move panels in your animatic, sound clips that are cued during these panels will be offset to remain synchronized with the action. You can disable this synchronization on some or all of your audio tracks, so that sound clips in these audio tracks remain cued at the time you cued them while you make changes to the timing in your animatic.

  1. In the Timeline view, click on the Synced icon for the audio trackfor which you want to disable synchronization.

    The icon will switch to Unsynced, meaning that the audio track is not synchronized with your animatic.

  2. If you want the audio track to become synchronized with your animatic again, click on its Unsynced icon.
