  Merging Clips after Syncing Audio with Plural Eyes

  Posted by Tory Stewart on January 10, 2011 at 6:17 pm

  Hi all,

  I apologize if this question is redundant but I have read the existing threads on the topic and am not sure that I’m understanding them properly.

  I am working on some documentary footage shot on the Canon T2i and 5D. We are recording camera audio as well as audio from a radio mic on our subject and occasionally a boom. The camera audio is 48.0 kHz, 16-bit, and the radio and/or boom mic audio is being recorded at 44.100 kHz, 16-bit. When the audio is delivered to me I convert it to 48.0 kHz wav files and line it up with the video using Plural Eyes, which so far has been working pretty well. My question is this: after I drag the synced and linked clips out of my Plural Eyes sequence and into the browser should I then right-click on all the new clips, make new master clips, thematically subclip, organize, name them and edit with those? Will this cause problems in the future if I need to batch (re)capture from the original H.264 files?

  I’d love a step by step run-through of how I should be approaching this since I’d like to avoid getting farther into the edit working with improperly organized files. I assume that syncing the audio is the absolute first step I should be taking, before beginning any other clip organization, let alone editing.

  Thanks very much,

  Tory
