Final Cut Pro X Tutorial (How to Sync Multiple Audio and video Clips) - But so far, it seems like the time it would take me to go through the aforementioned steps is about the same it would be to manually sync the waveforms. I never said they weren't professional.

FCP X provides some incredibly powerful and easy to use audio sync options. In the scenarios that I am going to show you in this article we will focus on audio created using Dual System Recording. This is where the audio track is recorded onto a separate device during filming in order to be of a higher quality, while at the same time being recorded by the camera along with the footage at a lower quality to be utilized as a guide track in post. These techniques can also be used to re-attach edited audio that might have been exported and cleaned up in Pro Tools or similar and then re-imported and requires to be re-attached to the video. To begin with let's have a look at manually synchronizing audio. For this you will need the original clip and a separate audio version of the same clip presumably better quality. Step 1 - Create a Primary Storyline Append edit the original footage with its original soundtrack to the timeline by selecting it in the Event Browser and pressing E. Press Cursor Up to return the playhead to the head of the clip. Now select the audio clip of the modified sound in the Event Browser and connect it to the start of the first clip in the storyline by pressing Q. Visual sync Zoom in some more in the clips to see even more detail, if the waveforms position requires more refinement select the clip and press to nudge the audio clip one frame back or forth. Step 4 - Use eyes and ears As well as looking at the waveform to see it sync it's a good idea to actively listen to the clip as well. Playing both tracks makes that very hard. To play back just the sound from the audio-only clip select the video clip and press Solo or press Option-S. Solo That makes it easier to see and hear when the footage is synchronized again. Once you are done tidying things up select both clips and make them into a compound clip by pressing Option-G. TIP: You can nudge the footage during playback! Now let's allow FCP X to do the work for us by auto synchronizing the same two clips again. Step 5 - Select both Clips In the Event Browser select the original video clip, then press Command and also select the Audio only version of the clip. The Inspector Press the Audio tab in the inspector and in the options titled Channel Configuration check the green audio track and uncheck the Blue one. Play the clip back and see how that works. Obviously the auto option is a very attractive one as it's so easy to use but the purist in me thinks it's important to understand both.

But, I would like to know how you would auto synch a 6 camera multi clip with a separate audio clip. The multiclip was created in Pluraleyes. Using the waveform got me spot on, although the waveforms in the audio portion of the multi clip did not match very well with the audio clip Ibrought it. This was due to echo in a church and positioning of microphones. Hi Greytail, Did you sync the audio to the video before you created the multicam clip? If not try that. Then use the inspector to select which audio clip you prefer under the Audio Tab. Then try the Multicam clip again. I found your tutorial very clear and useful. I especially appreciate the keyboard shortcuts. I have a question about clips synchronized manually and made into compound clips. Can they exist outside of the project window? I have a clip that could not be synced accurately using the synchronize command. Syncing it manually created a compound clip in the project but not in the event browser. I would like to be able to have the sync'd clip in the browser in order to have the option of removing it from the project and then bring it back later. Is there a way to do that in Final Cut X? Compound Clips are only available in the Project Timeline at the moment. Then use COMMAND-E and choose Roles as Multitrack Quicktime. Long winded, but will work.

How to Sync Video and Audio in Final Cut Pro X
One thing to keep in mind with this method is that it retains the original on-camera audio. Obviously the auto option is a very attractive one as it's so easy to use but the purist in me thinks it's important to understand both. Since the FCP X El said that markers could be used as sync points, I added markers to these same two clips and synchronized them again. In the modal box that pops up, give the new clip a name, tick Use audio for synchronization, and click OK. Even on a single shot, you might have two or more solo clips if your camera has a clip limit. You can skim through your clips one frame at a time to set an accurate sync marker using the skimmer and the left and right arrow keys.
