How do I STOP 'Sync By Audio' from shifting many small completed/ lined up clips to lower timeline tracks - it's very time consuming trying to get them back onto ONE track. I wish to keep them on one track after they have synced

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">I sent a request to support on 10/10 and not received a response , I will appreciate any assistance</span>

Hi Midimannz -

I'm probably not following exactly what you're doing, but "Sync by Audio" is designed to align clips from a multi-cam shoot. i.e. the core of the audio content is the same.

When multiple clips are selected & you click "Sync by Audio" the clips are naturally inserted in different track so the audio can be aligned.

It sounds like you're syncing by audio after you've done a fair bit of editing.

Some timeline screenshots and a bit more detail would help.

Cheers - Tony

Hello and thanks for replying. What I am doing is editing music concerts. Firstly I use 'Content Aware Editing' to select the 'steady' clips. Once chosen they align themselves together onto one timeline. As I want them now to line up with the 'original (full) audio track'

when I 'sync by audio' the clips stagger themselves below each other, which is frustrating when I have to shift ten plus clips onto one timeline so I can repeat the process with other clips in the same song but filmed from a different location.
