Vid Clip Syncing
Hello Folks,
I see that for some folks the synching is working. It appears that all that have it working have used a separate audio track to facilitate the sync.
In my case I have a approx 1:11 vid with audio attached that has already been corrected in Pro Tools. This is from a camera at the rear of a church. I want to sync the clips from a handheld cam with the rear cam vid. Selected the handheld clips (most, not all) along with the rear cam vid and let it run for HOURS. After it completed I get one handheld clip at the biginning then the rear vid.
Not happy.
Any of you fine folk got an idea before I upgrade my PP5 to 5.5?
Thanks,
Robert -

Robert,
If the audio from the handheld camera isn’t as clean, it may be difficult for the software to sync them up.
Since it sounds like you have two very long clips to sync, I’d do it by hand. Find some distinct action to sync the two clips to. I do it all the time, and it never takes very long.
If your intention is to cut between the two cameras, you’re better off making a multiclip in FCP 7 since FCP X doesn’t have multicam yet, but it will hopefully soon.

Audio from the handheled is better than the one on the tripod.

Actually one long clip and more than a dozen small clips.

Still manual and tedious and time consuming.
Ended up using PluralEyes and Premier Pro CS5.5. I expect the folks in Cupertino will work on the sync.
Thanks for replying,
