Could you share a screen shot of your wave form? What is your FPS rate? Are they the same? Curious – what was the distance of each camera from the sound source??
I’m on the same page with you about finely tuned musicians ears. It’s possible that the internal clocks in the 2 cameras may be off (one slower than the other) – but that’s a long shot. The only other thing I could think of is that Camera 2 is falling “between the cracks” of Camera 1. By that, assuming both were recorded at the same Frames Per Second, the peaks on Camera 2 are about 1/2 or 1/4 frame (or even smaller fraction) before or after the corresponding peak on Camera 1. Are their ears that good??
Just for good measure, please confirm that when you’re syncing the 2 cameras in Premiere Pro, you’re selecting “Audio” for your sync point.
Here’s an example of what I describe as “falling between the cracks” (below). I listened/watched it after syncing – knowing what I was looking for – and simply could NOT tell any variance. In the example pic, that’s maybe 1/8 of 1 frame difference (??) By my calculation, that’s 0.00416667 of 1 second. I hereby declare that Imperceptible!!
I’b be happy to run it through my setup if we can figure out a way to send sample files.

If it’s pretty close already, I’m thinking just match up the peaks in the Premiere Pro wave form. Make sure the sample rate is the same for both tracks (48k? 41k?) Hope I’m not over simplifying….
But before you do that, I would try re-syncing, but make sure each recording is on it’s own separate track from any other tracks in the project. (I’ve been there – done that before; it works after you put them on unique tracks.)

Thanks Al – I used all the Ultra Key options in different combinations and found that Tolerance (at 100%) worked best. I imagine it took about half the green out of her hair which is good, considering it wasn’t a very noticeable issue to begin with. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Fast forward 4 years…. Go to “Sequence Settings” and change Editing Mode to “Custom”. I think the default is some odd camera brand – ARRI Cinema??. I called Adobe tech support. They immediately went right to that and it cleared it up instantly. Trust me on this…. He also suggested when exporting to use any one of the “HD” group of settings. Not sure if that matters, since it also works well using the “Vimeo” presets.
