Are you saying the exported file should be something other than a Quicktime format?
If you look at the image in the original post, you can tell the color difference between what is being shown in the export window and what’s in the program source monitor. That seems to be happening in Premiere Pro, not the export.

You could try using stock footage, if it is relevant. I’ve used Shutterstock.com or videoblocks.com in the past.

Hi Andy – Have you been able to use Soundbite with Premiere Pro? I’ve been trying to make it work and it seems like the project needs to be in a FCP format for Soundbite to work.

Hold shift while using the razor tool, it will cut all of the tracks in the same place.

You can right click on the line between clips and choose “Apply Default Transitions”. You can edit the default transitions in your preferences.

You may have the Audio 7 line highlighted. When you click on the area surrounding the track options, it turns a lighter grey (or darker if it is already chosen). That is how you set preferences for which tracks the clips move to when copying and pasting.
Note: If you have multiple tracks highlighted, the clips will be copied to the lowest numbered track. For example, if you have tracks 1 and 7 highlighted, the clips will be placed on track 1.

Hi Sascha,
Do not worry about lining up the clips before you export the PRESYNC sequence, PE will do that for you.
I do believe you have to export as an xml so you have something to open with PE (at least definitely with premiere pro). Once PE has done the job, you import the synced XML clip back in to your program and open it up as its own sequence. At that point in time, I duplicate the synced sequence (so I always have something to refer back to) and begin editing.

Once all of the audio is synced, I duplicate that sequence just for reference. Because I do not know how to create a synced sub clip, I am able to go back to this duplicated sequence when I need to pull something from it.

Not that I know of. I just copy and paste when I want to do that.

I am unsure what you mean by master clips and not all of my external audio is done in .wav format; so I will describe my syncing process. Also, keeping in mind that the majority of my editing has been done in either Premiere Pro or Final Cut 7, I can’t be certain the same steps would work in FCPX (although I can’t imagine it would be very different).
1. Import all media that needs to be synced
2. Create a sequence (or project in FCPX) and label it so I know that it is my sequence that will be synced (I put “PRESYNC_PROJECTNAME” to identify my pre-Pluraleyes sequence).
3. Drag all video from one camera angle to the sequence IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER. For separate camera angles, you want to use separate tracks. Camera A all goes on video on track 1, camera b all goes on video track 2, etc. Make sure all of the audio from these cameras go on their own separate tracks as well because that is what Pluraleyes uses to sync everything up.
4. Bring the externally recorded audio on to it’s own separate track.
5. Export the sequence as an XML to be brought in to Pluraleyes and make sure that the matching sequence is correct.
6. Check off the necessary boxes (Clips are in Chronological Order, Try Really Hard, etc.)
7. Press sync, pull in the synced clip in to your editing program and you should be all set.In terms of making sure the clips stick together, I either group them within the program or move clips with caution when editing. I like to keep all of my audio tracks (even if I don’t plan on using them) and mute them just in case the natural audio is needed.
