Sync up Audio and Video using matching Time Code only
Hi all,
So I have a huge project: 5 cameras with lots of clips–but zero sync audio and no camera audio–audio was recorded separately (18 tracks) with matching Time Code, and I would like to get everything in sync before editing. (All the video and audio time code match each other in the files’ metadata). I know that this can be synced up with a software called “Sync-N-Link,” but it costs $500. Ouch. I’ll probably never use it again so I’m a bit hesistant to buy. Anyone know of another route, or a less expensive program, or perhaps someone owns “Sync-N-Link” and would like to rent out their editing suite/”Sync-N-Link” software for a day?
Any help is much appreciated.

YOu don’t need anything extra…no plugins or apps. FCP will group clips by timecode. Select your audio and video clips, and go to the MODIFY menu and select MERGE CLIPS…choose Timecode as the syncing factor.

Every time I attempt Modify > Merge Clips (with clips selected) the merge is gray. Not available. What am I doing wrong??
