Welcome back to another Final Cut Pro tutorial!
Today's all about syncing video or audio from multiple cameras.
Let's check out how it works right now.
If you have video and audio clips from different sources that were recorded during the same take,
Final Cut Pro will be able to analyze and sync them together in a new clip.
In our example, we have separate video and audio files that we've tried to line up manually.
Playing it back, it's pretty noticeable that it's a couple of frames off.
Want to learn how to change audio levels? Sometimes it's important, so let's figure out how.
To sync the two clips, start by selecting the audio and video clips in the browser.
Then, navigate to the top menu and choose "Clip...."
Then, "Synchronize clips."
Or, use the shortcut "Option + Command + G."
The settings window will appear in the center of the screen.
Here you can give the new synced clip a name and specify which event to store it in.
If you need to change the starting time code, you can adjust it in the time code field.
But we'll just leave it as is.
If you'd like to learn more about using time code, be sure to check out the related video linked in the description below.
To sync clips using audio waveform data, leave "Use Audio For Synchronization" selected.
This disables the reference track from the camera after syncing
and ensures that only the high quality audio recording is included in the new clip.
A little intermission break for you.
If needed, you can click on use custom settings to show even more options.
In the synchronization drop down, you can select how you'd like your clips to be synced.
"Automatic" allows Final Cut Pro to sync the clips using its default analyzation.
"Time Code" will sync the clips using time code recorded in the clips.
If you have time code in your clips, this is the best option.
It's the fastest and most frame accurate method of syncing clips.
Content created will sync the clips using the date and time information recorded by each recording device.
"Start of first clip," we'll use the first frame in each clip as the sink point.
And "first marker on the clip," we'll use the first marker set on each clip as the sync point.
Below that, you can edit any of the video or audio settings as needed.
If you'd like to learn more about adjusting project settings, be sure to check out our video linked in the description below.
Now just hit "ok."
And you'll see your new synced clip in the browser.
We'll drag this clip into our timeline.
And if we play back the clip, everything seems to line up much better.
Want to learn how to change audio levels? Sometimes it's important, so let's figure out how.
Final Cut Pro's synchronization isn't always perfect.
If you need to make any manual adjustments, you can reveal its contents by double-clicking it.
You'll see the original footage and the audio as the connected clip.
We'll make any adjustments to our audio so that it lines up perfectly.
