Dive Into Your Imagination

Sometimes, when you're working on edits you may discover a need to unlink your audio and video. Holding shift+L will activate the LINKING or UNLINKING option when working on the timeline. This gives you the ability to move the audio and the visual independently, but you won't always mean for this to happen, especially when you switch LINKING off and on a lot. The result is an out-of-sync clip and although its easy to undo it with command+Z, there is another option you can use.
If you right click/control+click the little red box in the timeline that appears when your audio and video are out-of-sync you can see the option for move to sync. This will put the two part back together. If you click on the audio, it will move to the video and vice-versa, click on the video and it will move to the audio. Just be sure there is room for the move or else it won't work out for you. If you decide that it actually is in-sync for you and you want to tie them together as such, select the clip and use MODIFY>>MARK IN SYNC. The red boxes will disappear and everything will seem normal.

Now wasn't that easy?
