Using sync links

Sync links are like one-way event groups. A linked event stays synchronized with the event to which it is linked, but not the other way around. Linked events do not contribute to the affected tracks for ripple editing. Sync links are useful for keeping additional audio mix and video compositing elements in sync with the main events in your project.

Linked events are displayed shorter and vertically aligned with the synchronized event. When you select an event that has linked events, the linked events are outlined in purple.

In this example, the events on track 2 are linked with the event on track 1.

When you move the event on track 1, the events on track 2 will stay in sync.

You can move the linked events on track 2 without affecting the location of the event on track 1.
