Best way to sync multi camera footage and audio?

Hi guys,
I know a lot of people use PluralEyes to sync clips in time. However, is there an easy way to do this without external software? I am missing something in Premiere? Did Adobe really not think of making this? I would imagine after all this time, this feature would be included.
What are your guys' preferred methods?
Thanks guys,
MrD

And, yes, I did search the forum before hand.
Oh, and another thing I should mention:
My DSLR (canon 5d Mark 2) Actually records the DATE and the TIME of when I hit the record button. This is located under the "Date Created" meta data which is viewable in the windows media browser(explorer). AND, it also says "Date Modified" to indicate when I stopped recording. This is very useful,
but is this a good way  I can multiple cams synced in time?
Thanks!
Dave

  • Best way to sync 3 angles without external audio?

    Just installed FCP X today — coming off of FCE 4, so I have lots of learning to do, but am liking it so far.
    My first editing project is a concert of Bach's music I shot on Canon dSLRs a couple months ago. We had three angles, and while I will eventually be getting a copy of the professionally-recorded sound from the concert, I only have my on-camera audio to work with right now.
    So my question is, how does one go about using the syncronization feature to sync three camera angles, without having external audio?
    Each camera has several clips for the whole concert (because of record time limits). I was able to sync up the first clip from each angle by extracting the audio from one angle, importing it as a file, and using it as the sync reference, but there doesn't seem to be a way to add and build onto the syncronized clip (i.e., adding another extracted audio file and syncing it with previously synced footage). Perhaps I'm missing something?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • What is the best way to sync iCal, AdressBook, etc on several devices? (iMac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone)

    I have several Apple devices (iMac, MacBook and iPhone) and I was wondering what is the best way to sync iCal, AdressBook, etc on these devices?
    I have an iCloud acount as well, but how to sync without seeing enteries double (iCal)?
    Many thanks!

    iCloud should not cause duplicate entries in Calendars unless you are syncing using iTunes as well as Wi-Fi. No need for both.
    iCloud backs up:
    Purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books
    Photos and video in the Camera Roll
    Device Settings
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Calendars

    I own a MacBook Pro laptop, an iPhone5 and an iPad mini with an itunes and apple account.  I just purchased another iphone5 for my wife.  What is the best way to sync and share iTunes music, iCal dates on her phone and my computer and devices? We don't need to sync and share contacts.

  • What is the best way to sync contacts and calendars

    Advice please
    I am pulling my hair out trying to determine the best way to sync my work computer using outlook and exchange, my iphone and my mac at home.
    In an ideal world I want to have two calendars that is home and work, two sets of contacts that is home and work. And all appear on on outlook, iphone and my mac at home
    I also have Linkedin Contacts (about 690).They appear to be pulled in separately into outlook via the LinkedIn Addin.
    At the moment I have certain contacts who appear three times on my iphone, and its not obvious which database they are coming from.
    I accept you cannot sync outlook secondary calendars to google, therefore what is the best way to set this all up.
    Any advice would be very welcome.

    The only way to do that is to use Exchange server.

  • Best way to keep files on iMac and Powerbook in Sync

    Best way to keep files on IMac and Macbook Pro in Sync

    Hi ...
    Using the Migration Assistant would be tedious and time consuming.
    You can setup an iCloud account and sync your Macs since you have Lion installed on both. If you have iCloud enabled, if for example you add a bookmark in Safari, that bookmark will sync via your Wi-Fi network to the other Mac automatically.

  • What is the Best Way to Sync iPod nano to a new Computer and User?

    what is the best way to sync ipod to a new computer and user?
    moving from old mac to new mac - same ipod
    - currently won't add music etc. i guess because it is not associated with this new computer
    - i don't care if I dump all old contents - if necessary...
    BTW: what if it's the same username?

    No problem.
    What about when I have the same user name on both old and new computers - and right now the new computer sees/syncs the ipod just fine .... but it seems that on another day it might not allow the sync
    If it's syncing okay already, then you have nothing to worry about. Anyways, why would it change? It doesn't decide when to. It either syncs or it doesn't depending on the situations circumstances, in which your case, you have nothing to worry about because it's already syncing without issues.

  • Best way to sync iphone and ipod touch

    I have had an ipod touch for some time and have just got an iphone. Ideally I want to keep the ipod touch for music, games etc and use the phone purely for internet, phone etc and maybe a couple of cd's on there. Is there a best way to sync them both - ie something I should make sure I tick when I set up the iphone or will it handle it automatically.
    Thanks
    nick

    iTunes on your computer will keep them separate. I have 2 iPhones and 1 iPod Touch all syncing to the same computer, with different playlists, apps, contact groups, etc., on each of the devices.

  • 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.

  • Best way to sync (shift to match) audio with video in FCE 1.01?

    What is the best way to sync (shift to match) audio with video in FCE 1.01?
    Step by step in simple wording please, since I am new at this.
    Thank you so much.
    Walter

    As you probably know by now, DVD camcorders are not compatible with FCE or pretty well any other DV based editing system.
    Possibly the simplest (though not cheapest) route would be by using an Analogue-Digital converter.
    Streamclip and other similar programs are supposed to work but I have had no experience with them.
    In the long run probably the best (but costly) solution would be to buy a Mini-DV camcorder - it doesn't have to be a top of the range model - even the cheapest ones can produce high quality video. Then you would not have to mess around converting DVD files with the inevitable loss of quality it entails.
    A cheap DV camera need be not much more expensive than an A/D converter.

  • What's the best way to set up my iPad and iPhone through I tunes

    I have an iPad and now an iPhone what's the best way to sync these in iTunes I'm assuming I'll use the same account and as such the same music aps etcwill sync on both devices? Also it is best to back up to the cloud and would this allows instant transfer of data between device ie pictures? Thanks

    You can use the same Apple ID, iTunes will still be able to tell them apart. If both are on IOS 5.x, you can use backup from the iCloud. To have pictures across all you devices, switch Photo Stream to ON.
    Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream.
    (Note: Photos that are already in Photo Library will not stream, only those you take after Photo Stream is switched on)

  • What is the best way to sync multiple collections of contacts among multiple users?

    (I originally submitted this question under the "Mac OS X Technologies" section, but got no response. I'm submitting a duplicate here because this is where all the smart folks are! My apologies that my question is only partially related to OS X Server . . . )
    What is the best way to sync multiple collections of contacts among multiple users on iOS and OS X?
    For example, suppose I have three collections of contacts: Bob's, Sally's, and Common. I want Bob to be able to access and sync Bob's contacts and Common contacts, and Sally to access and sync Sally's contacts and Common contacts. Bob and Sally never need to access or sync each other's contacts. Bob and Sally would both sync and share contacts in Common.
    How would I best implement this? It's my understanding I have three options for managing contacts across iOS and OS X: 1. iCloud accounts, 2. Install OS X server, or 3. Install and manage Darwin CardDAV directly. Which method would best support what I wish to do?
    I am a seasoned Unix geek well versed in the terminal, so I am prepared to get my hands dirty as much as necessary to achieve what I want. Also, it is sufficient if syncing takes place over WiFi on the local network, in fact, that is desirable versus syncing over the cloud.

    Thanks for your reply Nick101. I see my example was oversimplified. When I say "multiple groups of contacts over multiple users" I'm really referring to N groups of contacts over N users.
    So I need to add Fred, who can access and sync Bob's contacts, Sally's contacts, and Common contacts, as well as Fred's contacts. Can I do it with OS X server?
    You mention you keep your and your partner's contacts administered locally. What keeps you from administering them through OS X server as well?
    I am guessing this can all somehow be accomplished with multiple contact accounts, but I can't find any information on the web explicitly describing this.

  • Best way to transfer video between iphone and mac wirelessly?

    Please suggest me the best way to transfer files between mac and iphone wirelessly.Mainly for videos.

    If you want to transfer photos and videos from the Mac to the iPhone (but not in the other direction) you can use iTunes and sync via wi-fi: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    If you want to wirelessly tranfer videos in the other direction you may want to look into a 3rd party app such as http://www.photosync-app.com Note that I have not used that app so be sure to investigate others as well.

  • Best way to combine HDV & DV footage into the same project

    I'm about to edit a new project that is sourced from 75% HDV footage (1440X1080) and 25% DV(720X576) footage. I'll be outputting the final result as a widescreen 16:9 DVD initially, but I also want to do a HD-BluRay later on.
    What is the best way to upscale the DV footage so that it will render at the same scale as the HDV footage? My initial attempts involved setting up a 1080i25 HDV project, and importing the HDV & DV clips into that, thinking that when I did the render it would upsize the DV clips, but it doesn't seem to do it. Would I be better off creating the DVD in reverse by downscaling the HDV footage, and creating a 16:9 DV project instead.
    Any suggestions gratefully received?

    Tks for that advice guys. Re-Sizer looks the best for my future needs, but I probably don't have time to learn it for this project.
    From the other reading I've done, if I don't use ReSizer or an equivalent, it seems that to get the best DVD quality I'd be better off creating an SD project and downscaling the HDV footage for that, rather than creating a HDV project and upscaling the SD, and then creating the DVD from that. Compression logic would tell me that upscaling the DV footage in PP and then sending it back down to SD for the DVD mastering is going to result in a lot of ****** looking original DV footage.
    Because I'm under severe time-constraints regarding the DVD, I think for this one time-only, I'll do a seperate SD project for the DVD, and then redo it as a HDV project for the Blu-Ray release in a few months.
    Sound logical?
