I would think that this is probably not necessarily a problem in video.
I would expect that they would stripe (or the tape would be pre-striped)
with SMPTE time-code which would keep things perfectly in sync.  Of
course this assumes the use of current (non-ancient) technology and
that the movies are on video rather than film.
