Hi,
As Tony indicates there is no facility for synching in the Video Colloge plugin. There are some trimming facilities available within the plugin but, as far as I can see, the easiest way is to produce your videos to give a "synchronised set" and pull them into the plugin so that they all have the same synchronised start point.
Using the plugin for any detailed editing seems to me to be quite a lot of work, which is easier done elsewhere in PD.

That is the conclusion I came to - if I wanted to use this I would need to do 2 passes. First pass to create a set of files that had been synchronized - then a second pass to use Video Collage feature.
That is likely more work than what I am doing today to create Video Collages in PD
BTW I was NOT looking to edit them in the Video Collage feature - only have then clips stay synchronised
The PD 15 to 16 upgrade likely isn't worth for me - it would have been for sure if Video Colloge plugin had audio synchronization
FYI - You could easily enhance Video Collage feature by simply allowing it to pull in tracks from the video time line rather than only the Library. That would solve the issue plus (which I had not thought of) allow editing. It is reall pain in the neck to have write something out to use an edited track in a plug-in
