Pluraleyes extending clips, becoming un-synced on XML import to Premiere Pro
Hey all! I’ve been using Pluraleyes for a year or so now and absolutely love it. But recently it’s started adding black video to the ends of every clip, and it’s not synced in Premiere. If I sync in the pluraleyes app (as opposed to the plugin for Premiere), it appears to be synced and it doesn’t extend the clips, but as soon as I import into premiere, the same thing happens: extends all clips, becomes out of sync. I’m running 4.1.3 and the latest CC.
Here’s a screenshot of what’s happening:

I used to use Plural eyes as well, but now it’s easier than ever to sync video and audio files in Premiere Pro. Just choose your video, and your audio, then right click and choose “merge files”. That’s it. WIth Plural Eyes it always created like 4 different clips and things got really messy.
Anyway, you might be light years ahead of me and need the features of Plural Eyes. Otherwise, try my suggestion.

How I wish it were that simple! Merging clips only works (to my understanding) if you have 1 video track with audio, and a separate audio track (plus, timecode is often needed). Since I’m trying to sync multiple video tracks, plus audio, I either have to sync each clip individually (using the Synchronize function), or just do it manually. Would significantly slow my process down. :/

Got ya. Hence the last sentence of my previous comment 😉

Ok! After chatting with Red Giant support, it turns out that the problem is some where in the XML round tripping, but we figured out a solution! Before syncing, change the sequences setting to match the frame rate of the clip with the highest FR in the sequence. So for my example I had mostly 23.967, which was what my sequence was, but I had one clip from my backup camera which is 29.97. So I changed my sequences settings to 29.97, synced with pluraleyes, and then changed he resultant sequence back to 23.976. Works like a charm.
