15b4 Audio Sync for Music Video

PostThu Jun 07, 2018 3:51 pm

Hello,
I am about to produce a music video and need help with the audio workflow in Resolve.

The given final audio of the song is going to be played back while shooting and recorded to 1 to 3 cameras depending on the shot.
In Resolve I need to sync all cameras with the original audio track.

As far as I can see, I will always end up with many video clips that would have the original audio be added or replace the camera audio.

Ho do I automatically line up, sync, all shots and takes to the one track containing the original song?

Syncing with Ambient or Tentacle timecode is not an option yet.

Thanks,
Udo Jansen

Second that, it has saved my behind many times on recordings of theater performances.

Hey,
I've never been syncing with anything else than Plural Eyes for years now, though I regularly test new options. In my PE 4, I just throw everything in the main window, sync, exports XML which results in every tracks synced and stacked on the Resolve TL after import...
Just need to create the multicam file at this point. Operation time : less than 2 mn for any 1h30 show with 4 cams...
