Hey welcome back to the channel and welcome to the first episode of my new
series 'Tutorial Tuesdays', where every Tuesday morning I published another tech
related tutorial for the average person. In today's video i'm gonna be
showing you how to sync up all your audio with your video in DaVinci Resolve.
Alright so here we are on the computer where individual resolve and the first
thing I want to do is jump out and show you the files that I'm working with now
I have two sets of files here I have a roll this is all the video that I caught
with my lumix g7 with my camera and when I caught this video I caught it with the
on-camera audio even though we're gonna be replacing that and I'll tell you why
in just a few seconds here going back we also have an a roll audio folder this is
all the audio that I caught with my lavell ear mic and my zoom h1 end and
this is the audio that I want to use in those clips so we want to take this
audio and replace the audio on those video clips so all we're gonna do is
we're gonna drag in our audio and video into DaVinci Resolve this audio video is
caught with the on-camera audio so let's give a little listen to see what it
sounds like to see some comparison so as you can see that sounds pretty bad it's
real echoey I mean it sounds like on camera audio it's terrible but if we go
to the a roll audio and play a little bit of this I'll put a link up here to
those videos and you can see that audio sounds much much better so we want to
take this audio replace it on those clips all we're gonna do is we're gonna
come over here do control a select everything drag it into that a roll
folder so now we have our video clips and our audio clips in the same folder
and then we're gonna right click on the folder and go to auto sync audio now
there's a few different options there's two ways to sync the audio one is based
on timecode and if you're you have a youtube channel or you're just doing
this as a hobby chances are you're not going to be recording with timecode if
you have that option to record the audio in the video with timecode you should do
that because that's a much more precise method and it uses a lot less processing
on the application because it just syncs up the time I don't do that I don't
really have a way to do that so I use waveform and this has been rock-solid
what this does is it takes that audio that we captured with on-camera audio in
the video clip this is why we captured that audio even though we're gonna
replace it and it compares that waveform to the waveform of the audio that you
captured with that other source in my case with the zoom h1 N and my lavell
ear mic it compares that waveform and then that first option it'll just
overwrite the audio that's on that clip with the audio we want completely wiping
out the bad audio and doing a really solid sync based on that waveform
the next option on here based on waveform and append tracks does the same
thing except that keeps both audio tracks so if there's a situation where
you want to use the camera audio source and the audio source from the however
helps you capture it you can do that and it'll have both tracks and then you can
just mute and unmute the tracks as you want I always use the based on waveform
I'm gonna select that it's gonna take just a few seconds what it's doing is
it's comparing those waveforms syncing up the audio and I'll show you what it
sounds like now as soon as this is complete alright there we go it's done
I'm gonna take this first clip again drag that in and now we can listen to
what it sounds like this video is all about we're going to be using that 2014
Mac Mini that I used in the other videos and an RX 470 now you can see how much
better that is it took that good audio wiped out the bad audio and basically
bound it to that clip so now even if we drag it on to the timeline it's pulling
it onto the timeline with that audio clip that we replaced the bat the old
audio is gone we don't have to worry about dragging in the video clip and
then dragging in the audio and trying to get them to sync up it did it all
automatically it is a solid sync as long as your source audio is reasonably good
and it matches the audio that you're syncing up it does a fantastic job I've
had very very little problem doing this hopefully you found this useful if you
did hit that thumbs up if you really liked it you haven't subscribed yet
please consider doing so come see me next Tuesday for my next tutorial video
and Sunday for my normal tech videos thanks so much
