>> "I have tested the 'align timecodes' function in the new version and
>> am very happy to say that is working wonderful! Along with the 'To
>> clip' function I can now make synced up subclips. I believe that to my
>> knowledge Cinelerra GG is now the first FLOSS video editing program to
>> support timecode syncing with subclip functionality: that's a big
>> premiere! Thanks to everyone involved and especially PhyllisSmith.
>>
>> Few notes for further improvements:
>> - A batch function would be great, especially to already sync up the
>> clips from the 'Resources' window.
>> - When I use the 'align timecodes' function the timecode of the whole
>> sequence changes to the timecode of the clip I'm syncing. I have not
>> seen this in other editing programs and don't think this is a useful
>> feature, I think it would be better if the timecode of the sequence
>> stays untouched and the clips stays in place."
>>
>> It would be nice to be able to do alignment of various audio/video
>> tracks with an external audio track in batch, all at once, in the
>> Resources window, before getting to the timeline.
>> Question: is it possible to modify and use the script linked by Stefan in

also this. Uses same process as kdenlive related program , but compiles
into standalone program and including scripts use it + ffmpeg (downsample
audio for faster processing) for calculating delay, but between two files
only ....
