Silverstack Lab syncs external audio by timecode with an auditable preview and offset controls, but an ALE handed to editorial does not reflect half-frame audio offsets, and metadata export after transcoding (like dynamic-metadata burn-ins) is Lab-only, so Silverstack XT users lack it. No page reports sync accuracy. Curator qualifications: Docs read 2026-10-22; no budget, rate or footage processed. Sync wizard and dynamic metadata pages (S28, S29, S32) from producer reading. Limitations: Docs read 2026-10-22; no budget, rate or footage processed. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
