This involves matching the audio and video tracks to play seamlessly together.
In this tutorial, I will cover how to synchronize audio and video in DaVinci Resolve automatically.
The good thing is that DaVinci Resolve has a built-in feature that can automatically synchronize audio and video – saving you a lot of time.

Step 3: Right-click on one of the selected clips.
Step 4: Hover over “Auto Sync Audio” from the context menu.
Step 5: Select “Based on Waveform”.
Waveform analysis uses the audio waveform to match the audio and video tracks; it uses a visual cue in the video to sync the tracks, which works perfectly fine in most cases.
Once the synchronization is complete, DaVinci Resolve will create a new clip with synced video and audio tracks.
You can drag any video clip into your timeline, and you will notice that it already has a synchronized audio track attached to it.
