— You can link the background and foreground clips of a green screen composite, with sound from both.

Commands for Slipping Audio/Video Sync

Another set of commands in the Trim > Slip Audio submenu let you slip the contents of one or more selected clips in order to alter the sync between the audio and video, either in whole frame

— One Frame Forward (Option-Period)

— One Frame Reverse (Option-Comma)

— One Subframe Forward (Option-Right Arrow)

— One Subframe Reverse (Option-Left Arrow)
