  Creating a Sync Map for Music Videos

  Posted by Nacho Santana on April 8, 2025 at 10:34 am

  Hello folks,

  I’m used to working with multicam editing for interviews and live performances, but I’m looking to explore something slightly different, creating a sync map for a music video.

  From what I understand, a sync map involves laying out all the takes of a performance to a master audio track on separate tracks in the timeline, rather than grouping them into a multicam sequence. This approach seems better suited for music videos where takes are recorded separately across different setups or days, rather than simultaneously from multiple cameras.

  I’m familiar with multicam editing, but I’d love to know if anyone has recommendations for a good tutorial or workflow breakdown for building a sync map in Avid. Ideally, something that explains best practices for organizing and cutting between different takes.

  Thanks in advance for any pointers!
