Synchronizing video and audio clips in multi-camera projects
You can synchronize your video and audio clips so that they are all aligned to the same moment in time. The easiest way to do this is to let the Multi-Camera Editor analyze the audio for each of the clips and sync the clips automatically. If your recordings are planned, you can use a special audio signal, such as clapping your hands (similar function to using a clapper board in professional shoots). Some events have natural audio cues that help the sync process, such as music performances or sporting events with a start signal.
You can also synchronize the clips by using markers, shooting time, or you can adjust them manually by dragging the clips in the timeline to the timecode you want. For example, you could use a common visual element, such as a flash to sync videos manually. These methods are helpful if your video footage doesn’t include audio or the audio waveforms within the clips are difficult to sync, or you simply prefer to align the clips manually.
In some cases you might need to use a combination of the synchronization options, depending on your source footage.
