Anyone try using Dualeyes?
I am having problems with FCP X audio sync in the simplest of environments: a vehicle with the windows up.
I have one, 40-minute audio clip running under 23 video clips shot on a 5d. Try and get FCP X to sync them even individually I’m getting maybe a 25% success rate (if that).
Brought the same media into Pluraleyes and it synced 100% of it.
I’m hoping Dualeyes can help because this is ridiculous.

Aaaand I’ve got something that’s working for me. Just some background, I’m shooting a doc on the 5d, with shotgun and lav mic sound recorded on a Zoom h4N.
FCP X Dualeyes Workflow
1. Clone 5d CF Card and Zoom h4N SD cards to Backup HD
2. Run Dualeyes and create new H264 Quicktime Files with good sound married
2b. (Optional) Run Adobe Bridge and batch rename Quicktime files created by Dualeyes to something different/shorter (I renamed files like ‘MVI_6762.MOV’ to ‘MVI_6762.MOV_sync’)
3. Move all Dualeyes files into their own folder, so as to keep the 5d CF card folder hierarchy intact (if you choose to archive this way)
4. Import the Dualeyes Quicktime files into FCP X
5. Import Quicktime files that Dualeyes missed into FCP X and sync manually.Note on Step 5: If there are shots you aren’t rolling sound on, obviously Dualeyes will not sync these. When you import to FCP X, it is immediately apparent that ‘MVI_6762.MOV’ does not have the ‘sync’ suffix, and thus has on-board audio.
