Dude i am editing a 4 camera setup with audio recorders, from a wedding, the first time i did this I spent over 5 hours syncing audio to video, I literally just did this step and found 98% of all the videos and audio and placed it into my track instantly, YOU JUST SAVED ME HOURS OF HEADACHES!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
OMFG This video is beyond excellency. In under 2 minutes you get an explanation on how to literally save HOURS of post production. Thank you so much! Will definitely like and subscribe
So simple to understand and so helpful! NB for anyone struggling with the 'create multi camera source sequence' not being an option - make sure your source clips are in the same frame rate. I had to convert my 50fps clips to 25fps before it worked. :)
I always did it manually like a caveman 😭 thank you soooo so so so much for this, it's such a nice fix, so simple yet so genius. ❤ works like a charm. also thank you for getting to the point immediately: fast tutorial, fast results, amazing video, thank you!!
This only seems to work when all clips are similar in length. What do you do when your A camera is one 90-minute clip, your B camera generated 3 29 minute clips, and your C camera generated 10 9-minute clips, and your audio recorder generated one 90-minute clip? It doesn’t really like that, and I always get errors, even if all clips have matching time code. I still end up needing to add them individually to the timeline one by one to line them up manually. I’m sure there must be an easy way to create a timeline where each clip falls in place in its appropriate timecode position?
Thanks for that report. I have a colleague who uses pluraleyes software to sync, it seems really convenient for this maybe see if it can do what you need via a free trial.
Thanks! I tried the first option. Succeeded but how can I then see both clips when I play? I only see 1 clip when I click play (and have selected them both). I like to see both camera angles at the same time so I can see which part I will see from which angle.
Hey! How did Premiere know how to find your sound files for this? Where do you keep the audio files for all of those clips that you highlighted? Thanks!!
When I try to do this, the audio button is grayed out and isn't an option to click! I am trying to multicam with an overarching audio file longer than all the cameras.
Did not work, that option was GRAYED OUT -- Does anybody know how to do it when you have separated audio tracks, which happens to be one of the defining features of the new Rodeo GO mic system?
Great tip, thanks for that. Once I've done all these steps, I end up with one clip per track even if they are from the same camera. Since I had 68 clips from 3 different cameras (from a conference) it's 68 video tracks + 68 Audio tracks. Is there a way to regroup them on 3 tracks only otherwise than manually? Cheers.
I understand, sometimes this technique doesn't always work as we would like it to, hopefully a Premiere Pro update will help us with a new option soon.
thanks a lot for the video. However, the synch always fails when I'm trying to do the synch. Is the problem related to the fact that one source has one file and the other source has two files of the same shot? Any idea how I can handle this? Much appreciated :)
Great question, I'm not sure of the answer to that one. I'll keep that in mind when I'm editing future videos. In the meantime you may have to group same single shots together and then go in and sync the other clip with it.
Hi there, sure so on the bottom left hand corner of that window there is a little slider and next to that is a blue rectangle icon click that if it's not already blue. That should be called thumbnail view or something like that. Enjoy your new speedy editing skills so you have more time to do other things we enjoy in life ^_^
@@VideoUpskill Thank you for the great video. Is there a way to make those folders pop up like in your tutorial. It seems to only display one folder at the time with my current settings.
Hello I have watched both tutorials on syncing and followed the first one to sync on timecode multiple cameras, but one of them doesn't have timecode. I thought at first it would sync based on camera time but it didn't. So I followed this tutorial to try and sync according to audio and it doesn't find a match. I am beginning with première and don't even understand how to have sound playback of the track you want ? If you have any solution for such a case as mine, or any advice to make it sync on audio when it fails ? Maybe I have done something wrong, should I do the audio sync first and then the time code ?
+elpachato I see, all cameras need to be setup in the same timecode method before recording, I have a video on timecode camera setup to get an idea of that part. When audio sync method doesn't work, that means you will need to manually sync that remaining camera, the best way to do this is to look at the two audio waveforms and look for easy to spot patterns and line them up. To have sound playback of the track you want just click the M on the left hand side of the track you want to mute. If your camera has two XLR inputs, I duplicate it's audio track and use an audio effect "fill left with right" on one and then "fill right with left" on the duplicated track, then I have all the control I need. Hopefully that helps.
If you put all of your clips and the external audio track in the same bin and highlight everything at once, right click and "create multi camera sequence", I think you will find all the clips should land in the one timeline with the 1 big externally recorded audio file.
hmmm... interesting ... sounds simple .. but ... i upload two clips from two different cameras ( same scene ), select sync with audio... computer takes few moments to create new sync-ed clip, and when play that clip, it is not sync-ed.. What am I doing wrong ? Thx !
Sometimes Premiere is unsuccessful at matching the audio of all sources. For the best chance make sure each camera has a clean enough reference audio track for example using a shotgun mic to improve the audio clarity to help it sound somewhat similar to your high quality audio source which may be a lapel mic or line audio etc.
Probably in Your bin folder are some different files than video, try to put all od Your clips from different angles to another bin and then try again. Should work :)
@@takasytuacja5133 Coo. I'll give that a shot. Normal I have camera A's clips in one bin then camera B's clips in a different bin but they are all under a master folder called Raw.
Plurarleyes does do much better than Premiere at big messy syncs (like say 7 cameras, some of them starting and stopping, plus a board audio feed from a 2-hour concert). Unfortunately what I came here looking for is better tips on *manual* syncing, for the ones that don't work automatically, or when I get a new clip I need to sync in partly through the editing process, or something.
If there is no similar audio recording on all three camera's microphone audio, you will need to line up the first piano note action with the audio and repeat manually.
@@VideoUpskill Yep, had to sync up frame by frame. Good thing all camera angles had view of the hands on the piano. Next time I shot i yelled "I want some room service!" right after rolling all cameras and audio recording, so it synced up automagically by audio. Thanks for the video!
How can this be done if I have 2 large clips and a third set on top of that with all small clips? It goes out of sync when I try do each one from the third camera, at a time?
Once two cameras are synced, move them back to a clear start point and repeat for the other cameras. Try experimenting with which clip you right click on to sync or try enabling or disabling specific tracks on the left hand panel of the screen.
Worst. I have multiple files. around 2000+. How can I match multicam at a time? You showed just 2 clips. its easy to set on the top but what if I have more than thousands of clips and more than 3 to 5 cameras. Can you help me?
I work with music, and lining up tracks.... never have luck with this stuff. It seems like no matter what, audio or video, 50% of my time is just zooming in all the way and zooming way out again, managing tracks, lining up things by hand down to the pixel....and its still tough to get music and video to 'feel' natural. Unless you have the same audio, lining it up won't work. Computers should be able to handle this stuff so much easier by now. There should be easier ways to sync up things exactly, during production, not always dealing with things later. Yeah yeah I know nerds will give a million excuses - but our software is crap, creative software is designed to keep people down. It's unbelievably tedious to use and a nightmare for right brained people.

Does it mean audio shouldn't be cut when recording interview to get one master audio file?
