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.
