I registered just for this.
Audio Sync by waveform improvement. In the timeline I guess.
Bonus : full screen 2nd monitor output!
Problem.
If its a clip with multiple of the same words, like 10 serial takes of me saying "hi im bob and ill be reading for phil" It gets mixed up. Sometimes just repeating the take name seems to mess it up.
I clap a rhythm after having the sound device and camera on, hoping the algorithm will favor using the sharp distinct claps instead of speech.
Sometimes I start my camera and say take name and then repeat it after starting the sound recorder, i do "self-tapes" for my self and the buttons to start the video and sound are spread out. And that messes it up. Even with the claps.
Solution 1
I saw someone suggest audio sync in the timeline. that would be cool cause you can easily get it close by hand then the algorithm can use that to be more effective.
I shoot for 6-8 minutes at a time, so maybe this is only a problem with longer takes and to have it sync only the region in a clip would probably make it alot better( I made that up but it seems true)
Solution 2
I dunno, maybe have the algorithm favor claps or something
Thanks so much for this product. As a nobody actor, I have to pay so much out just to get "self-tape" auditions. Subscriptions to casting sites, headshots, marketing , class, headshot printing, postage, stamps , parking, IMDB "protection" fee.. the list goes on. Having a free way to sync my old camera video to nice sound for free, AND do the basic cutting I need to get it production ready, is amazing and such a gift. I sing the praises of your product to every filmmaker I come into contact with(maybe THATS why they dont cast me, they think I am sales for Blackmagic)
