Term Details
Term: Sync
Subcategory: General
Definition: The level at which picture and sound are successfully lined up.  If they are out-of-sync, the film can be difficult to watch because the picture will not correspond to the sound that the viewers are hearing.  If sound and picture are lined up well, they are said to be “in-sync.”  The term sync is applied to many types of picture and sound relationships, including voices, music, and sound effects.
