To maintain sync when editing segments into a sequence, you should enable all record tracks containing elements that need to stay in sync.

To maintain sync when editing segments into a sequence, you should enable all record tracks containing elements that need to stay in sync.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not relevant
• D. It depends on the project

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that edits must be applied to every track that holds elements which need to stay aligned in time. When you arm or enable all record tracks that contain those synchronized elements, the edit operation—whether inserting, overwriting, or slipping—updates all of those tracks together. This keeps video and audio (and any other synced elements) in lockstep, so lip-sync, timing, and overall synchronization aren’t disrupted by changes on just one track. If you only enable some tracks, an edit might move or trim one track while another track isn’t updated, which can create misalignment between the pieces that are supposed to stay in sync. By enabling all relevant record tracks, you ensure the edit propagates consistently across the synchronized elements, preserving their relationship.
