Automatically sync two clips with identical audio?

I have two cameras running, so when I import the two clips, I want to synchronise them based on the audio content. Currently I am clapping at the start of the clip and manually synching them, but I wonder if there is an effective way to do this automatically?
I thought that : Clip>Synchronise clips would do this (mentioned in another thread), but it just creates a compound clip based on the start of each clip, not synching them in time.
Thanks.

Sync clips is for syncing separate audio and video. It doesn't do multiple video clips. You need to use the create multicam clip function in 10.0.3.
Well, I seem to have it working now (almost). And it does seem to work with two video clipsI don't know why it didn't work the first time either.

Yes, that's what sync clips should do if there is readable both on both the video clip and the audio clip. Don't know why it's not working
I say "almost", because the clips appear to be slightly out of sync in that the audio is about 44 subframes out.
Is this normal I wonder? Is it because the audio on one of the cameras was slightly out and FCP is synching the video not the audio?
It's rare that I would have both audio tracks at once, but it is possible that they may crossfade, in which case the slight delay is annoying and it would be nice if I could get it to synch more accurately.
So I am still having to manually line up the audio, which seems to mean I need to detach the audio, as otherwise it won't nudge by subframes.

  • Syncing two clips to one audio track

    I am shooting an interview with two cameras; one camera is connected to a lapel mic, which is the main source of audio. To synchronize the second camera with the audio of the first camera I clap my hands loudly to cause a spike in the audio of both devices as a guideline to where I should "mark in" the clips; I know it is probably amateurish, but it works...usually. In this instance, when I try to "mark in" at the same points using FCP I am unable to set at the exact fraction of a second, resulting in one piece of footage 1/4th of a second ahead of the other.
    Is there a way to adjust the audio to be editable at 1/60 of a second (current setting is 1/30 of a second) or a recommended method of synchronizing two video clips to one audio track?
    Thanks!

    Update:
    I just noticed that the two clips are synchronized at the beginning of the 25 minute video footage, but begin to de-sync about 1/4 to 1/2 of the way through the footage.

  • Is there a way to sync two clips with different bit rates?

    I have two clips from different camcorders of the same frame rate but slightly different frame rates. When trying to sync the 2 clips, it's nearly impossible because the frames aren't lining up. Is there anything I can do?
    Where I'm trying to sync the two clips is kind of between frames.
    Thanks,

    Hi
    I only know of miniDV tape Cameras and SD-Video quality - and I use an external program to do this.
    JES_Deinterlacer (free on internet) - Mainly I use it to go from PAL (25fps) to NTSC (29.97fps).
    It does this so much better that just dropping into TimeLine in FCE/P or switch when going from iMovie/FCE/P to iDVD. They both does a sort of conversion - but the result has to me been very choppy/jumpy and not enjoyable at all.
    There are even better conversions - But those are Pro applications and costs are astronomical - and the end result is not that much better at all.

  • With Muti-clip gone from FCP X, is there a new way to sync two cameras with FCP X

    With Muti-clip gone from FCP X, is there a new way to sync two cameras with FCP X

    I film with two cameras then copy the files from each camera into their own folders. I then use ClipWrap to convert the MTS files into AIC.  If the recording was one long contiguous session, many cameras will split the MTS files into 2GB chunks.  ClipWrap will Convert Multiple to Span to reassemble them properly.  With the AIC .MOV file from ClipWrap, I then use FCP X to Import the MOV files from camera 1 and camera 2.  I prefer to do it that way versus using FCP X Import from Camera.  I then move the clip from camera 1 onto the timeline in the "primary storyline" (FCP X terminology).  I drag the camera 2 clip above the camera 1 clip and line up the audio from the two cameras while that audio is still attached to the video so everything stays in sync.  FCP X has a way to automatically sync two soundtracks, but I have not gotten around to that yet.  With camera 2's clip attached to camera 1's clip as a "connected clip" above the camera 1 video, I then do an edit to go between the cameras as seems best to me.  When the connected clip of camera 2 video sits above the camera 1 video, it will take priority over the camera 1 video.  I then split camera 1's video clip taking out sections when I want to go back to the camera 1 view. Of course I can trim camera 2's clips until I get it the way I want it.  Since FCP X uses the magnetic timeline concept, and camera 2's clip is "connected" to the camera 1 clip, as you split and trim camera 2's clip, everything will stay in sync across the two camera "tracks".  When there is no camera 2 video above the camera 1 video, camera 1 video will be seen.  When camera 2 video is above camera 1 video, camera 2 video will be seen instead.  With a single editing pass, I can then do all the editing I need to go back and forth between two cameras.  The same concept is expandable to other camera "tracks" as long as you are using vertical position in the timeline to determine which camera is seen when.  If you would like for it to look like a multi-camera track composit like before FCP X, you can simply select all your clips and make a compound clip out of it.  You will then see the multiple camera clips side by side in a single "track".  Double click on that "clip" in that "track" to go into the structure and editing individual "tracks" around if needed.  Think of a compound track as what a sequence used to do.  Anyway, there may be other, and easier ways to do this, but with a single edit through my recording, I can easily and visually cycle back and forth between camera views.  It's just that things are called differently now ... and, as of this time, we do not have a single button camera switching function to let us view multiple cameras simultaneously and switch between them using a keystroke for each camera.  Still, I have a way to do it, and it has worked very well for me, in fact I was pleasantly surprised at how easily I could do multi-camera in post.  Hope this at least gives you one option.  Others may have a better way.  Best wishes.

  • Sync multiple clips with master clip

    I have a multicam shoot with two stationery cameras continually recording for the entire event and a third camera roaming around, getting dozens of individual clips from different locations/angles. ALL THREE CAMERA HAVE SYNCED TIME CODE.
    I don't want to treat this as a normal multicam project, since the third camera has dozens of clips (this means dozens of "camera angles" in a multicam timeline). The best way for me to edit these cameras together in post, in my view, is to sync everything up in a timeline, and do the cutting myself.
    In Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2 (33), I can sync the continual recordings no problem, because they overlap. But the dozens of clips created from the third camera have to be placed manually or timecode synced one by one.
    I have found a kind of a cheat. I create a multicam sequence using all 90 of my clips (synced by timecode) then open the multicam sequence in the timeline. I then manually drag all 88 clips from the third camera down into one layer.
    From here, I have two options: 1, edit as a multicam shoot with only three cameras instead of 90, or 2, Create a new, empty sequence, then copy/paste from the multicam sequence to the empty one and edit manually.
    Here's my question, now that I've found a cheat: how can I better sync multiple clips with no overlapping timecode to a master clip with master timecode?

    I have identical real time TC for all 3 cameras, and two cams are continually recording. the third is roaming.
    Here's a link to a past project: News & Events :: PCC's Christmas Lights Spectacular :: Pensacola Christian College
    As you can see, one is locked, one is on a tripod getting closeups, zooms, and pans, and the third is moving around getting various angles. The two on a tripos are left continually recording, but the roamer starts and stops (it's handheld, so it's easier to just start/stop).
    @shooternz, could you elaborate on your method a bit? You seem to indicate that you can just drop the third camera's clips in the sequence based on Time Code. I'm not familiar with TC Panels or TC Markers.
    As for not all of them being used... I do have several dozen clips left over the course of a half-hour concert... :/

  • Can I use iCloud to sync two devices with different apples Ids?

    Can I use iCloud to sync two devices with different apple ID's

    What do you mean by "apple ID"?  There's an ID you can use at the iTunes store to buy songs, apps, etc.  there's an ID you can use for your iCloud account - the two can be different or the same. So which service are you referring to when you talk about an apple ID?

  • How do I sync two ipods with two different IDs on the same computer?

    How do I sync two ipods with two different IDs on the same computer?

    Simply connect them.  One computer with one iTunes can manage multiple devices.  They're tracked by S/N but you might wish to assign them unique names so that you can track them yourself.
    The only minor issue is app updating and purchases while on the computer.  It's necessary to log out and back in to the "correct" ID.  Much easier to do these things from the iPods.

  • How to sync two IPhone with one PC , but with different applications

    How to sync two IPhone with one PC , but with different applications ?
    We have two IPhones , but one PC , we want to sync separately , is that possible ?

    Absolutely, connect each phone, select what content you want on each phone, then hit the sync button. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs, including separate backups.

  • Does version 12 support producing video clip with AMR audio codec?

    From some documents i used as reference to proceude some videos for my phone Premiere Elements 8 can produce video clips with AMR audio codec. I bought today the Premiere elements 12 but I can not find a way to set AMR audio codec for my video clip. Only AAC audio codec seems available.   Is it possible to add AMR codec to 12 version?

    Neurona17
    Adobe typically supports only current version, and, if you purchased from it, is strict on "within 30 days of purchase": for money back on that current version purchase. I do not believe such a thing as a "change the license for other earlier release such as 8 or 9" exists at Adobe. But, you could ask. If you wish to purchase one of those earlier versions that supports AMR export, you might still find some online.
    Is the before import conversion of AMR to WAV a viable alternative?
    You wrote
    Unfortunately so far I have not been able to generate any useful video clip for my system with this 12 version.
    Is this in regard to the AMR requirement or to any video without the AMR audio?
    Online I have seen that there is a download for the AMR audio codec. Does your system now show that you have such a codec installed on your computer. If not, I am not sure if download of this codec would place it in the Premiere Elements Publish+Share export settings choices, similar to import of some .avi video codecs. (Sometimes 3rd party codecs can create problem, so proceed with caution if you pursue that AMR audio codec idea.
    Please update us on your progress when you get a chance.
    Thanks.

  • Why is Premiere Pro telling me it will take over 24 hours to export a 55-second clip with no audio or effects?

    Why is Premiere Pro telling me it will take over 24 hours to export a 55-second clip with no audio or effects? It's never done this before, but this is driving me nuts. I'm almost finished with this project, I can't have this kind of stuff happening now.

    Forgive me. I'm just stressing hardcore at the moment.
    Specs:
    OS X 10.9.4
    2.8 GHz intel
    Premiere 5.5
    exporting cell phone video which has been treated with effects and layered with other clips from cell phone video, then nested as one single video clip, now trying to export as H.264 (DV 24fps)
    Full disclosure: I am an amateur so if you need more info just tell me and I'll produce it if I can. I should note though, I've done this before with no problem. However the settings may have been different (still getting the hang of the whole 'settings' thing, to be honest). It's very possible that the problem in this case is the operator, in other words.

  • Syncing two iphones with one computer

    A co-worker and I share a secretary. We'd like to be able to sync our individual calendars (in Outlook '03) on our secretary's PC.
    Is this possible?

    UPDATE:
    Well I thought I figured it out when I realized iTunes gives you the option of syncing only selected calendars. My plan was to check only my calendar to sync with my phone and Gary's calendar to syn with his phone.
    Unfortunately, the option to sync only selected calendars is grayed out in iTunes. I can only check the "sync all calendars" box.
    Surely others have figured out how to sync two phones with one computer and only have the data you specify synced to the specific phone.
    Do I have to create another Windows user account where only Gary's calendar is maintained and then switch back and forth between user accounts whenever syncing?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Sync multiple video clips with one audio track

    I'm an FCPX noob, trying to sync some clips.  I recorded a 1.5 hour concert with a DSLR along with an audio track using a separate digital recorder.  I have seven video clips, all in sequence (stopping and restarting the camera because of clip length limitations) and one long audio track in WAV format.  The audio track is longer than the combined video clips, and there are some short dead spaces in between the video clips when I turned off/on.  Now I'm trying to sync them but when I do, the video clips get stacked together with lots of overlap.
    I made a test with 3 minute video and audio clips and had no problem.  But when I try to do the whole event, I get a jumbled mess.
    I could cut the audio into pieces and sync each piece with its corresponding video, but that seems to defeat the sync process, as well as being a lot of work.  And, wouldn't I end up with lots of overlap anyway, since my audio clips would have to be longer than my video clips?
    Am I missing an easier way to do this, or a way to arrange things better?  I can't imagine the problems with several cameras and several audio tracks; my project is actually pretty simple, since it is very linear.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks--

    Sorry to take so long getting back to you.  Thank you for this advice, but I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly.  Is there a way to set the angle on all of the clips at the same time? 
    Yes. Select all the clips you want in the browser, and then in the inspector fill in the camera angle with the value you want. This can be just about anything, it does not have to be a number. I prefer to name  it something meaningful, like "wide" or something.
