Hi! I am trying to synchronize audio and video clips in Final Cut Pro X but the options to Synchronize Clips is greyed out.
The video is from a Sony ZV-1 and the audio is from an audio interface connected to my Macbook Pro, recording in QuickTime.
The clips line up perfectly if I do it manually but this is very frustrating because the Synchronize Clips option is so convenient.
Any ideas? I updated all my software.
You can’t sync the clips inside the project. They have to be in the browser. You sync them there, and they are combined into a sync clip, which is edited into the project. Select the clip with the playhead over it and press ⇧ F. This will place a copy in the browser.
If you’re importing with drag and drop it’s always best to drag to an event in the browser first, and make a selection there to edit into the project.

Can you show us where the clips are exactly? How were they imported?
I have both clips in my Download folder, and dragged them directly into the timeline.
I also tried turning the audio file into a WAV file and that didn't help.
THANK YOU! You seriously made my day.
You’re welcome.
