Soundtrack Pro has a great feature to take the guesswork out of spotting,
the process of aligning sounds to picture. The unique Multipoint Video HUD offers instant
feedback for frame accurate alignment.
Press the V key to bring up the Multipoint Video HUD.
Position your mouse directly over the portion of the waveform you want to align to video.
So here we have a hit-- (Music Playing.)
--that we want to occur directly when the runner stumbles.
Notice that we have some blank leader to the clip, so the portion of the clip we
actually want to click down on is the start of the actual hit right here.
So we'll now click down and begin to drag. As we drag, the video HUD gives a 3-up display.
The image on the left shows you the video frame that is currently aligned with
the sound effects' in point. The image on the right shows you the video
frame that's currently aligned with the sound effects' out point and the frame
in the center is the frame where you initially clicked with your mouse, the sync
point. So we'll line this up right when the runner
makes contact with the ground. Play back to review.

Press the V key again to dismiss the Multipoint Video HUD.
