Chapter 19 Synchronization 615

Positioning Objects to Frames (Pickup Clock)

Set the song position to the required SMPTE time, by going to a specific frame of the

film in the Video track, for example. Select the object that you want to place at this

time position. It doesn’t matter whether this is an individual event, tempo event or a

Region. Pickup Clock Position then sets the start time of the object as required, Pickup

Clock and select next event selects the next object after moving your current selection.

This allows you to quickly continue after making alterations.

When using Pickup Clock with Audio Regions, it is the Region’s Anchor (not start point)

that is moved to the song position.

Fixing Objects to Frames

In situations where you’re working with synchronized film, you often want specific

sound effects to play at a specific SMPTE time, rather than a particular bar position.

If the tempo of the piece needs to be altered at a later stage, the SMPTE time location

of events that have already been positioned will change. The Lock SMPTE Position

function prevents this from happening.

You can SMPTE-lock individual events in the Event List, or entire Regions (along with all

events they contain).

Lock SMPTE Position

This function “locks” selected objects to their current SMPTE position. If there are any

subsequent tempo changes, the bar positions of the “locked” objects are adjusted

accordingly. You can tell that an object or event is locked to a SMPTE position by the

small padlock symbol in front of its name.

Copies of locked objects do not preserve their locked status, whether copied/pasted

via the Clipboard, or by dragging while Option is held down.

Unlock SMPTE Position

All selected objects that were “locked” to their SMPTE position are now fixed to their

current bar position, just like normal events. This means they can be shifted by any

future tempo changes. The padlock symbol in front of the name disappears.

Moving the SPL by Frame

In addition to the usual position commands, you can also use the Rewind One Frame

and Forward One Frame key commands to move one frame backwards or forwards.
