Plural Eyes is more for taking audio from many takes and syncing it with the scratch audio from the video. Also, run a line out of the recorder into a camera to record as a reference track to match the video camera record speed. If you are using an external recorder, try to use a word clock digital time piece to sync the recorder to the video rate. I then sync all other footage to the main camera. The rest of the cameras would only have backup audio. When I shoot multicamera I try to have one camera record the live sound and the direct feed from the board. Plural Eyes does not account for drift so even if you sync them up they might (will) wander over time. Live timecode sync is your friend but only SDI level cameras have this connection. This tool is critical to my work flow.ĭrift is more of an issue than just syncing them, especially with the external recorders. I let Plural Eyes do its thing and everything automagically matches up.

Download and import all the audio and video clips.

I am not going to film footage during times when nothing is happening. Its does not work for me to simply turn them on and record the entire event. They can only record 30 minutes at a time for the 5D MK III's or 12 minutes for the 7D. The events are often in dark situations and my DSLR's have extremely nice low light capability. All mine are AVCHD and they will all run for over 6 hours, battery or memory. If your are using tape I can see an issue of tape changing for a long event but with file based then they just run. Just let them run for the whole event, don't stop any of them. I record theatre and dance with 4 cameras and have no problems syncing them up. If you use Plural Eyes, you need to reach out to Red Giant and get them to support this application on some capacity beyond the generic method. I am working with tech support on an issue with crashes, but even when I try to import it without crashes, EDIUS fails to read it in.

I have attempted to export the Final Cut Pro XML that is under the Premiere options but that XML currently will not import into EDIUS.

There is no way I can use Plural Eyes 3.2 in the generic mode. I have used it to synchronize 2 audio recorders with 10 tracks total along side 4 video feeds. It works miracles on synchronizing and I work with tap dancers who are extremely critical of audio synchronization of videos. I have been using Plural Eyes 2 with EDIUS for a very long time. You can sync any # of audio tracks with only ONE video track and you then need to export all the audio and painfully import each of the pieces into EDIUS and manually match them up. The bad news is that EDIUS is only supported as an external application.
