As simple as syncing audio to video<\/strong> might sound, this crucial process can be very time-consuming. This is especially true on extensive, multi-camera shoots<\/strong>. In the already-tedious world of filmmaking, the technology to simplify\u00a0this process is invaluable.<\/p>\n

Recording audio<\/a> and video separately on set ensures\u00a0you get the highest quality sound for your project<\/strong>. As you may have experienced, built-in microphones on even the best cameras will never\u00a0capture sound that’s clean enough for professional work. So using an external shotgun microphone<\/strong> and syncing your audio with a slate, snap, or a clap is essential.<\/p>\n

While that’s easy enough to do on set, once you get into post production and are organizing footage from\u00a0multiple camera angles<\/strong> as well as\u00a0all of your audio files, syncing can become daunting and tedious. But\u00a0you have options.<\/p>\n

Your three main options for syncing audio to video<\/strong> are Red Giant\u2019s Plural Eyes<\/a> software, Premiere Pro<\/a>\u2019s \u201cMerge\u201d or \u201cSynchronize\u201d options, or the good old-fashioned way of doing it manually.<\/p>\n
