Tips for syncing audio in large project with PluralEyes

[Bruce Sharpe]

The sync option Clips are Chronological is a big help for larger projects. But if that doesn’t solve the problem, send a message to support. We are always very interested in investigating cases where the results aren’t as expected.

Would this program help with audio being off 0.02s from various digital recordings (see my post below)? Or is that the Dualeye? Thanks, looks pretty neat.

Thanks Bruce. When I’m done this project will do but have resorted to manually syncing which is obviously very time consuming. Apologies if this is referenced already in a tutorial, but I don’t recall seeing the answer.

If you have a PPro sequence of many clips, all on the same layer, and all using audio from 1 master clip you want to sync to, what is the way to do this so that PluralEyes can do its job?

1 Do I need multiple copies of the master audio on separate layers, 1 for each clip I need to sync?

2 Do I need to also roughly trim each master audio clip and roughly position it in sync with the corresponding clip?

I’ve only had partial success after following both of these steps but there may be something else I am doing wrong.

Hi Jim, you put the clips from each device (camera, audio recorder) onto their own track. No need to duplicate or trim anything. We you get a chance to send us the project file we should be able to make more specific suggestions.
