Reply to comment by nightfly19 in TIL, in film, a clapperboard’s purpose is ensuring proper synchronization of audio and video in post-production. It provides a distinct “clap” along with a visual event for the editor to reference at the start of a scene. by PianoCharged

I work in the industry and have never seen this happen due to drift. Drift is very very slight and only going to be noticed beyond a take of over an hour. Even then, a resync isn't going to help

I don't work in the industry and am just repeating what I've heard on the internet years ago, guess its a "fact" I can forget now

The “endboard” is often used when the camera starts the scene too close to an object to get the board in.
