[Avid-L2] Re: Scriptsync + Group Clip

Part of selecting which clip within the group to use should be that it also has nice, clean audio of the entire event. The source audio that is active (set in preview monitor) will be the one used to sync. *it is actually not important what video is active, only the audio, but that seems a bit more confusing to explain so I'd just advise choosing a good master shot and have the audio follow.

After performing the scriptsync I would advise un-checking 'audio follow video.'
