So this is gonna be a quick post about some software that I should have tried a LONG time ago.
As an editor, I've had to synch audio by hand for a long time. If we shot an interview with two cameras, we'd normally record the audio into one camera and then synch the audio in a timeline later. As it turns out, I got really good at doing it and so it's just how I always did it.
Now that I'm shooting primarily on DSLR, you have to record all the audio separately and synch it later. Since I was already used to doing it by hand (so to speak), I never really looked into the PluralEyes option. I was an idiot.
My current sound guy had been telling to me to give it a try and, with about 10 hours of interviews for my new documentary staring me in the face, I went ahead and downloaded the free 30-day trial. I put all the audio/video on a timeline in Final Cut Pro, opened PluralEyes and hit the "synch" button. What would have taken me 20-30 minutes was done in 3 minutes. I was sold. I immediately went back to their site and spent the $150.
I'll never go back...
yeah, i get what your talking about as a DSLR guy... sounds like a great solution!
