How To Sync Video and Audio To Timecode In Premiere Pro

How To Sync Video and Audio To Timecode In Premiere Pro by using the create multi-camera source sequence feature. We use the Metadata display to assign camera labels to each video camera and audio clip. This way when you hit the sync button you can have a dedicated track for all your footage to each specific camera as opposed to the waterfall timelines you may be used to seeing.

I really hope this helps you save time syncing a days worth of footage if your team was shooting to timecode. What else would you like me to cover in Premiere Pro?

[@diclo383]

What if i have a music group, with different video and audio sources (like a quartet recorded in different parts of the world, based on a 'click' track, to have a 'acappella app' result)

[@rockinthebox_]

I knew how to do that on Final Cut 7.... your video helped me a lot! Cheers

[@KellyEFin]

Could you go over a way to export all of these takes after they are lined up to timecode in premiere? Thank you!

[@JatinBhadani]

Thank you Javier, I got the solution in this video.

[@filipfilip206]

Wow. Thanks a lot, man!

[@Aetheldryth]

I cannot thank you enough for this, I spent the last to days trying to sync several camera angles to the sound and it took me forever - this makes everything so much easier! Thank you so much

[@dennisnatrayon5329]

I'm so happy, I'm literally about to cry haha. Thank you so much for this fantastic explanation. Really helped me!

[@chambuz]

Found you on reddit a couple of months back. I mainly work (Edit and Assist) on Avid and occasionally use premiere. Your videos have been a god send. so well informed and really clearly explained. So good, thank you!

[@alvaroperezabrahantes431]

Tis still works and was extremely helpful. Thanks!

[@johnrogers8362]

This is fantastic Javier - thank you so much. I was able to sync a whole day's 2-camera shoot with separate audio in the time it took me to watch this video. You're a life-saver!

[@lenamarie-sainte4199]

You really SAVE ME today! Thank you so much!

[@maroonhorizon]

This saved me so much stress and time. I had no idea how to even approach syncing the audio before this. THANK YOU!!!

[@VinceMrWhite]

🙏🙏🙏 Thank you soooo much, you saved me sooo much time!

[@gsmessa]

Don't normally leave comments but this really is exactly what I was looking for, thank you for taking the time to put this together

[@waltercheng078]

Thanks, bro, much appreciated. I didn't realize is that simple to sync all the videos. The best tutorial of how to sync video and Audio on CZcams, clear and useful.

[@wolwol3]

Oh man, you saved me! I just started working on a project with an extremely tight deadline and needed to find out a quick way to sync multi-cam video + audio to get started. You literally SAVED my ass and I am SO thankful for this ace tutorial!!!!
I just subscribed to your channel and sending you BILLIONS of good karma points your way

[@williamsuen1831]

Thank you for your videos. I often come across your videos when I am stuck in PR and your solutions are clear and concise.

[@teaomads]

All I can say is Lifesaver!

[@TimTurbo]

Thank you so much for this, a huge timesaver for the project I'm currently editing.

[@adriancline-bailey3301]

This is sooo helpful, especially for passing of to the team or Senior Editor. Thank you So much again!

[@luckyyoufilms]

Excellent job!!! It was super helpful.

[@toofy7253]

Best video ever! I'm somewhat new to video editing and such, but this was a life saver. I didn't know how to drop the file from the Media Broswer to the Project bin, but after that, It's gold! I'm using the AtomX with Ultraone sync, and it's AMAZING. Thanks a ton!!! Can't wait to buy more cameras to utilize this more! Maybe you can get with Atomos to help them make a video for future people like myself. I may be wrong, but I think time code is the future for even smart phone users. Plural eyes is ok, but not for a super busy one man band trying to pump out high end quality like myself Thanks again! Saved my life!

[@nicholaslongtin4509]

So. Dang. Helpful. Thank you sooooooo much!

[@marcusat]

Deserve a thumbs up for that clear and useful tutorial. Thanks

[@StefCassou]

I'm just starting a new Documentary that's supposed to be veryyyyyy long shooting and editing. After 3 days of shooting, You helped me to improve the workflow A LOT !!!!!
I filmed 1 hour long meetings with One camera but lots of cut, and my first multicam sequence had 55 video tracks...
Merci from France.

[@91364Steve]

LIKE A BOSS! Great comprehensive no-nonsense run-through of exactly what I will need to do next week. Of course, I will have to re-watch at 1/4 speed LOLOL. Thank you for posting. Liked and subscribed.

[@samgillespie]

I wish I could give this video a like every time I come back to watch it to remind myself haha! This is such a lifesaver, especially now that I'm jamming timecode on my two cameras from my MixPre 10 II. Such a time-saver!

[@anatolharat]

I spent 4 hours before I found your lesson to build one camera by timecode! Thank you very much!

[@perhlom]

Killer tutorial, both content and presentation, nice work!

[@JavierMercedes]

Glad I could help Per!

[@ggalla220]

That was some seriously concentrated knowledge you just dropped! Amazing!

[@beezkneezproductionz2983]

This was wonderful for streamlining a 6 camera shoot- thank you so much!

[@lennartdp6602]

Thank you so much!! Tomorrow a start as an editor for TV so I really needed this tutorial. Thank you Javier!

[@KellyEFin]

Thank you SO MUCH Javier!! This was so so helpful :)

[@nickhansbauer]

Thanks for the super informative tutorial! Two questions: 1) What do you normally do after you’ve synced the footage in your timeline as a next step to editing? Do you link or even nest all the video and audio clips so they can be accessed from the project window like “normal” clips or do you edit by selecting clips from the timeline? And 2) What do you usually do if you find a drift? Select all the audio clips from where the drift began and adjust those all slightly to the left or right in the timeline? Thanks!

[@alexanderheeren9056]

Great help! Thanks!

[@robinlefever8510]

This was really helpful. I have watched another couple of videos but this one really got things working for me. Thank you very much for your help Javier!

[@JavierMercedes]

Robin Lefever awesome Robin, once you get to the production level of syncing timecode to other cams things can get way more complicated, glad this was straightforward enough that you got your answers.

[@indiestripper5374]

thank you so much for this video!!!! I just did DIT on a project and then was asked to do the editing and I had never used timecode before. I was freaking out when I first tried to sync everything because my timeline was such a mess. This saved me HOURS of clean up!!!!!

[@JavierMercedes]

Just the person I made it for then, I have been there, glad I could save you a day of syncing!

[@HandyCamProductions1]

This is awesome, thank you

[@chaddenning7528]

THANK YOU!!!! This saved me hours and is the PROPER way to do this for a project that has many editors touching the project. Great work!

[@JavierMercedes]

Exactly the demographic of editor I was looking to reach. glad I could help!

[@chaddenning7528]

I had almost given up on Premiere's multicam because it wasn't behaving like the old FCP7 method, which was completely, mindlessly easy. This makes total sense. Thanks for shining a light on a ridiculously simple method. Wish I had seen this years ago.

[@rtfoss]

Worked perfect. Thank you!

[@MemoireVive78]

Thanks for this lifesaving tip !!!

[@mayufitcook]

You save me tons of time. Thank you so so much Javier :)

This has only happened to me very recently.
