Trouble Autosyncing Multiple Audio Files

PostThu Jul 26, 2018 11:51 pm

Hello,
I'm trying to sync video and audio via autosync through waveform. Pretty straightforward. I recorded my audio on a Zoom H6 with 2 lavaliers and a boom, so in most cases I ended up with 3 audio files. The thing is, whenever I try the autosync function, it'll only sync 1 of the audio files, even if all 3 audio files are from the same take. There's even a take where we recorded live music, where one input from the H6 was recording directly from the instruments and another was recording from a microphone, so as to have a little ambience. I find it hard to believe that the program can't synchronize these waveforms when they're so similar, so the problem must lie elsewhere. My guess is I'm doing something wrong, yet I've tried putting the 3 or 4 clips that I know are the same take into a folder and autosyncing from there, to no avail.

Can anyone help me out on this? I'm trying to leave FCPX for Resolve, but this problem keeps coming up whenever I need to edit with multiple audio files.

There's a very thorough set of instructions at https://blog.frame.io/2017/05/15/sync-c ... i-resolve/

Clearly she's autosyncing multiple files here, with multiple channels, so you might want to make sure you're following all her steps exactly, including how folders are nested, etc.

Thanks for the reply. I had read it and reread it to make sure I hadn't missed anything, but this doesn't seem to be it. I'm going to try with a friend's computer to see if maybe that has something to do with it; I'll let you guys know. In the meantime, if anyone has another idea, please let me know.

I have the same issue it seems Resolve will not consistently sync multiple audio files of the same clip. Even with append. Just drops the track at the end.
