Ur a guy a guy with natural talent there brother, when I started my gaming channel (this is my personal account), I learned everything about how to edit videos on davinci resolve from you Huge respect!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, this was very helpful. I was trying to stitch 2 dashcam files that contain duplicate footage and came off the same camera. This tip is exactly the solution I was looking for. Regards
@@JasonYadlovski Ok thank you, I think Blackmagic should add a feature if you select clips from one bin and do not click an empty space you can go to ther bins and select clips in the other bins without loosing the original selection(s). Many people like to be organized that way. Anyways, thanks.
My you should be able to drop in the one long clip and then drop your video clips on top and then sync up one video clip with the long audio clip. I’ve done it before and it works well.
Can you show us please how to auto sync/ retime subtitles in Davinci Resolve? I have all the text but can't figure out how to make Resolve sync that text automatically to speech in the video.
now I feel like the stupidest person in the world, hours of hand aligning audio and video with 40+ clips, and I could one click the solution :D you sir are my hero
Hi, Jason. When trying this I keep getting the "Auto Sync Failed. No match was found when attempting to align these clips." message despite having very clean audio. Any advice on how to fix this?
@@JasonYadlovski Yup! Just two clips with no success. I did however reshoot with a clap at the start of recording and this seems to have fixed the issue. Thank you very much for taking the time to reply, you have earned a sub for sure!
Thanks so much for the sub! I appreciate it! Happy to hear that you got it working for you. I always do a few good claps in the beginning and I’ve never had a problem sinking up things. Best of luck on your project and welcome to the community!
I don’t know if you can do multi cam in the cut page. I’ve never tried, I always do everything in the edit page, I think it’s easier and I always end up there anyway. I’ve got a video on multi cam editing if you’re interested, it’s in the edit tab though.
@@JasonYadlovski I’ve downloaded music and videos from UA-cam library. Short clips, but I couldn’t increase the length of the videos using davinci resolve 17
Do you have in points and out points set on the clips before you bring them into the timeline? If you have the full clip in the media pool and drag it into the timeline I should put it in there at its full length, unless you’ve selected in/out points
BTW, Jason. I’ve worked in audio and video post for over 30 years, mostly music and film production and a bit of TV and DVD authoring. While I wouldn’t class myself as an editor, as I’ve generally worked overseeing productions, I do a lot of editing - slowly :) I started on Premier in the early 90s, a bit of Avid in the late 90s (didn’t like it) but mostly Edius for almost the last 20 years. This has all been on Windows and during that time there have been smatterings of FCP when working with people on Mac. I made a slow permanent transition from Windows to Mac during the last 18 months, it took a while because I knew Edius very well and it was hard to migrate while making my UA-cam videos. Plus, it is Windows only which also made the move to Mac and another NLE quite difficult for me. Anyway, enough of that boring life story :) It’s been almost 6 months now since I cut the cord and I’ve only switched on my Windows machines for mostly file transferring and specific codec transcodes and re-wraps as I’ve become more used to my Mac and Resolve Studio. Your videos have been a MASSIVE help to me for finding quick answers to a lot of Resolve technical routines as I’ve been forcing myself to forget my Edius muscle memory. I also think you’ve got a great presentation style and personality and you get your points over perfectly and succinctly. On that point, I should take some tips from you for my own channel as I don’t know when to shut up :) Plus, you’ve got a great accent 👍 Thank you so much for your insight and help. Cheers, Dave.
Hey Jason, a fan of your videos, am a musician, and trying my hand at DaVinci resolve of course with the help of your videos. I am using the free version of DaVinci resolve and I don't see the auto-sync option?Is that only for the studio version or is this feature available on the free one as well? Thanks in advance!
@@JasonYadlovski thanks a lot for such a quick response,i had to unlink the audio on the video and then I got the option,thanks a ton again for the quick response
ok, pretty close to solving my problem. Clarity not quite there, but it was valuable. I filmed a machinery move with a tripod mounted camera and a handheld iphone. timeline has clips separated by time. . do i have to match them visually before using the match video? including putting the other clip on a separate track? I actually need this level of detail today, so any help would be gratefully accepted and used.
I would just manually line them up, then you can link the clips. Yes they would need to be in separate tracks. The other option is to make them a multicam clip, then you can just switch angles when you want to.
@@JasonYadlovski Thanks for the speedy reply. I will line them up on separate tracks. Since I do want to change views, I would be pleased to make Multicam clips. Do you have a video dealing with that process?
if you already add the clips to the time line and cut it together if you sync the audio after it gets syn in the allready cut timeline or you have to re edit everthing from scratch?
Anyway to sync 2 audio sources without a video? I have a mp3 file of a song by a band that had 2 singers that recorded the exact same song and I wanted to make a duet of the both. But I can only seem to match 1 source to a video
I never tried to match just 2 audio clips w/ no video clip. If they are the same, can you line them up manually quickly? I realize that might be too time consuming depending on the recordings....
Returned to this video again. thanks. I do have a question. If I have audio clip A (with two people saying something) that I play while recording a video and I do, say 3 takes. Now I have a video clip where the audio clip A is slightly heard a few times. I can't sync that easily- need to visually drag the audio clip A to each occurrence of it in my video- manually adjusting it with waveform. I wish there was a way to get auto help for a section- because sometimes the waveform in the video is very tiny and it is very hard to sync. It seems like there should be a way to do this because the software should be able to look at the waveform for you and light up a section from video and a short audio clip.
You can probably make a cut in the clip so the section you want to sync is separated from the whole clip. Do the same with the audio clip, then select both clips, right click and choose sync by waveform. That should do it.
Hey, thanks for this great video! Just a question. Does the multiple clip sync work if it’s 4 different videos, So, I shot something on four different camera set ups so do I just put them all on the timeline and simply follow that same process? Even though one of the cameras stops and starts. Thank you for your time.
You’re welcome! It should work if you select all the clips then sync them. Sometimes I’ve had some trouble and I’ll end up just doing two clips at a time but it should be able to line up the clips for you. Best luck on your project and thanks for checking out the video! 😁👍
When syncing all your clips within the media pool, how do you handle syncing clips that are in various folders vs when they are all in the same folder (like your example)? ***I keep my video/w original audio in a separate folder from the folder containing my Zoom H6 audio.
Unfortunately, they have to be in the same folder in your media port to be able to sync them in the media pole. I have not found a way around that just yet. Once you sync them up, you can move them to another folder, I believe.
You may be able to sync the audio and video in the media pool after you've done your editing, then once they are synced go back to the clips in the timeline, right click, open Clip Properties, go to the audio tab, and change the in put source to synced audio. Ideally, you want to sync audio before you start to edit.
Hi Jason, If you bring in a clip from a VHS recording and the audio is off is there a way to sync it up with the video if you don't have any other audio sources. I tried locking the video timeline and moving the audio timeline but I just can't get it right. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You!!!
Hi! You can sync it up, you'd have to unlock the tracks so you can move the audio and video independently, then watch the video and line up the audio. You can bump the audio frame by frame if you select it, then use the period and comma keys to move it.
There a way to match back to the original audio from the time line if your group is only showing one track, but your production audio has multiple tracks?
I'm not quite sure I follow what you are trying to do. Do you want to go back to the original audio? If you do, here's a video on how to do it: ua-cam.com/video/rncAZp_7msI/v-deo.html If that's not it, can you give me a little more info and I'll try and help. thanks!
@@JasonYadlovski Thanks for the response. It may be an issue with how I setup up the group to begin with. The production audio that i have synced to my A camera via the Media tab shows the 6 tracks of audio but in my group A & B cam when I lay that into the timeline it is only showing one track of audio when I lay it into the timeline. This is normally how I use groups when I'm working in avid so wasn't too worried at first because in avid if I match back to the audio I can then match back again and it reveals the original audio with all the tracks. When I right-click on the group clip it doesn't show an option for clip attributes. Is there a way to have the Group I've already made show or hide those additional audio tracks or is that something I have to remake the group to fix?
Hey Jason, what about if I have my Tascam audio recorder plugged into my shotgun mic but not into the camera. My understanding is that I will get my good audio straight into the recorder and just video from the camera. Does this change the process you laid out here? Note: my mic or recorder are not plugged into the camera at all.
Hi! You need some kind of audio from your camera otherwise there’s nothing for a resolve to sync it with. It doesn’t have to be great audio just something that can sync together with your good audio.
No, you can use your mic on the external recorder, that's ok. Then on your camera, just use the internal mic to record the audio too. That will give Resolve a way to sync the 2 audio tracks. Resolve can't sync an external audio track to a video with no audio automatically. You'd have to do that manually. Resolve uses the wave forms of the audio to automatically sync it. Does that make sense?
I came here to learn how to sync audio and I got it real quick, thank you. I felt to help you as well, why don't you connect your boom mic audio to camera directly?
Thanks for checking out the video! I could do that with my boom mic however I don’t always record from my camera when I’m doing a screen recording. So it’s better just to have it go directly into my computer for me. 😁👍 thanks for the suggestion!
I filmed a video using an external mic attached to my camera so I end up with the audio from the mic and not from the camera. But sometimes when I am editing and have to unlock the video and audio clips they end up becoming unsynched. There will be a small red box with some numbers for time that appear at the beginning of the audio clip which I think represents the time that is out of synch. Is there any way to synch the audio and video back together after they get out of synch? There is just one clip in the media pool for the audio and video together.
Hi Gayle! Yes, you need to unlink the clips, then you can use the comma and period keys to bump the clip in the direction you need to go to line things back up. That will move the clip frame by frame. You’re correct, The numbers in the Redbox tell you how far out of sink the clips are.
@@JasonYadlovski I edited a video with clips from one single clip and somehow in the process my clips are in the wrong order. Is there any way to see a time stamp or something so I can figure out how to re arrange my clips so they make sense?
You can try using the match frame tool to see where the clip is in relation to the original clip in the media pool: ua-cam.com/video/if4YFz_lD0Q/v-deo.html
Hi! I don't think there is a best, just use whatever your camera/mic can do. Resolve can read pretty much anything. For video, I typically use .mov or .mp4.
when i retime a clip say to 400%, how do i get that clips original audio to match its speed? Another good video here. Im sure that will come in handy in the future.
Jason - I did a two camera shoot outside yesterday with the lavalier mic feed into main camera. The wind was blowing and camera 2 recorded very low sound. When I tried to sync via waveform, I got a "failure to sync" message. I'm struggling to sync via Markers now. Not finding a tutorial on that. Any suggestions? Thx much. Hondo in MN
When syncing Audio clip with Video clip....how do you undo that action? Sometimes I've needed to go back to using the original Camera audio but can't because every time the Video clip now has the Audio clip baked into it. The only work around I have found is to make a duplicate copy of the Video clip BEFORE the sync process so that I have a copy of it with Camera audio only.
Hi! I’ve got just a video for you, this will show you how to do it. It’s pretty easy once you see it, let me know if you have any questions. ua-cam.com/video/rncAZp_7msI/v-deo.html
One question: Is it possible for DaVinci to make one integral video by using different parts from different audio tracks which I recorded with microfones? I recorded piano recital. I am wondering if there is possibilty for programme to recognize all video cuts by audio track that I am going to make from different interpretations. Or I need to find exact parts on video manualy and than match to sound? Sorry for bad English
As long as you have some scratch audio, you should be able to have resolve match up your good audio with your scratch audio. You might just need to use multiple clips of the good audio in different tracks to match the parts you want.
Jason im having issues where my audio is not in sync with my video however my audio and video are together since it is a video game recording... the audio is about 1 full second behind the video... can you please make a video showing how to sync the audio with an edit that has its audio and video together.
Hi! Here’s what you need to do, unlink the two clips, then just move the audio only into the correct position. Then you can select both clips and re-link them again. If you’re not sure how to read link/unlink, just select it right click go down to link clips all the way at the bottom, and that should unlink them first and then re-link them again. Hope this helps, best of luck!
Does it work when u didnt put the waveform from the videoclip into the timeline? I make a music video atm and wonder.. The only audio file is the Song in the timeline. Does Davinci get the waveform automaticially from the videoclip?
If you’re trying to sync a video clip with an external audio clip, you can sync them right in the media pool. Just select your audio file and then your video clip and right click, then sync audio. If the clips are in your timeline with no audio and you wanna sync an external audio recording to it, I don’t know that I can do it automatically. I’ve never tried it but I would think you would need the audio from your video clip in there.
Hi Jason! Could you please help? My two different camera angles doesn't want to align/ sync. I get the error message of "match not found". Both camera's recorder with sound, but one of them had an on-camera mic. Could this have anything to do with it? How can I fix it?
Hi! As long as the audio levels are decent, they should sync up. Try syncing only 1 clip from each camera at a time. If it's not working, you'll just have to manually line them up.
Do you frequently update resolve 17 to newer beta version ? While doing do you backup the folders in resolve 17 ? How do you install & activate the downloaded beta 8.0 version?
Yes I always keep up with all of the Beta updates and really any updates. I backup my database before upgrading everything. The rest is usually ok for me. Here's a video about backups: ua-cam.com/video/PTMh_zrDW7o/v-deo.html
Great video and exactly what I was looking for. I have a question. How can I sync a video clip with an audio clip when they are both in different bins? I tried selecting a video clip from my footage bin but when I go to the audio bin and select an audio clicp, the video clip is deselected, and there is no option to sync them. I want to sync them before dragging the clip to my timeline. Thanks.
Thanks! Glad the video was helpful! 👍 The audio and video have to be in the same bin to sync. You can probably move them back to their bins after syncing them.
I just can't....all that time I spent syncing multiple sources of audio/video for weddings. I right-clicked in Resolve and saw something that said sync audio and led me here. Great video.
Oh man, I feel for ya! I find that if it feels like something is taking too long, there's gotta be a better/quicker way. 😜 Hopefully this helps speed up your workflow not! Thanks for watching!
SO auto sync ONLY works if you select the audio and video clip in the media bin but it does not work if you select the audio and video clips in the timeline, correct? And it seems to only work if you do not have any clips in the timeline. Would you agree? I tried with clips in the timeline and it did not sync audio to video but maybe I did something wrong.
Sure, you should be able to export or send the file from your phone via email or something similar to your computer then you should be able to just drop it into DaVinci Resolve. If you’re on a Mac and you have an iPhone, you can probably airdrop it.
One big doubt: Once you sync your talking head and screen recording audio, How do you sync that synced piece (talking head + screen recording) to the main audio that you record on a microphone? Help plz!
Here's my process: In the media pool, I select my good audio only clip and my video clip. Right click, sync them up. Then I bring in my video clips (that has the good audio already synced in it) into the timeline, I also bring in my screen recording into the timeline. Once both are in the the timeline, I select both, right click and sync the. BOOM! I'm good to go.
Hey Jason, what is your audio editing workflow for a video like this? do you have any video tutorials on your channel? I found the difference between the audios you show in this video incredible.
Hi, thanks for your kind words! I do have lots of audio tutorials on my channel you can check out. My setup is a Sennheiser MKE 600 with Audient EVO 4 audio interface. In Fairlight, I usually set my levels, then apply some EQ, compression, a Multiband compressor and a DeEsser. I've got videos on all that stuff that you can check out if you want. Thanks for watching!
Good video, exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, after I select the two clips I want to sink and try to sink it up, I get an error "Auto Sync Failed" "No match was found when attempting to align these clips. I just had some vocals in GoPro footage skiing. I guess I have to do some clap or scream to get proper alignment? :) Thanks again
Hi! Are usually do a couple claps in the beginning but one thing you can try is bring both clips in the timeline and make the clips shorter or you know they overlap the audio, sync it up and then just extend the clips longer again. I find that work sometimes too.
You can drop the good audio in the timeline and. Then select the video/audio you’ve already got as well as the good audio, right click and then sync them by waveform. If you’ve got lots of cuts, you’d have to do that for every cut. I don’t think DR will replace the audio of the clips in the timeline if you sync it with the good audio in the media pool. I’d have to try it.
@@JasonYadlovski Yeah that seems to be the case. When I started I was doing it the way I always did and then realized I should prob Google. Should’ve googled just a tad sooner… but it’s okay! I’m excited for the future! Thank you!
Hi Jason. Thanks for all that tips and hints! Assume that i try to sync very long takes this way and don't have TC on (at least one) of the long clips. What now with differences in the (local) clocks of both machines? If DR can sync the two files by matching the audio within their first seconds, wouldn't the clips run away over time anyway? Are they still in sync five, ten or fiftheen minutes later? Or will DR stretch one of the files to keep up with the over?
@@JasonYadlovski Meanwhile i've done (only a little bit) investigation. There IS an limiting case what DR can handle for syncing. I tried a roughly 35min clip by an Panasonic HC-X1 (ref audio@48k) and a Zoom F8 (shotgun@96k). Then i downsampled the F8 recording to 48k. It perfectly suited as described. Now... what if one of these devices crystal would run away by a small amount of detuning? I simulated that by stretching or squeeizing the F8's part. Ever i made two versions, one of speeding up (shortening the wav), one by slowing down (stretchening). I took versions by 0.05%, then 0.02% and at last 0.005%. So... stretching roughly 35mins by 0.005% means additional 107ms in length. So delay between 50 and 150ms typically sounds like schoolyard echo. This can happen quiet often with devices' independent crystals over half an hour. Using the rude version changed by 0.05% (roughly one second difference) and 0.02% (~430msecs) Resolve refused to sync against. Whenever i tried so DR reported: "No match was found when attempting to align these clips." Then, with the 0.005% version it could catch up. I was astonished to see that DR equilibrates the audio in the middle. I clapped in the video. In the leading part (for the streched audio) the HC-X1' track lagged behind, at the end of the clip the F8' track lagged behind. So in the middle part of the clip the sound is nailed. I didn't had time to proof exactly where the limit is. But there is a limit we have to care for. Personally i think thats not a big deal if we know our equipment and its behavour good enough. I don't have a tentacle sync-e set, otherwise i would check how far the limit could be pushed then, by syncing against the audible timecode (either by DR or the tentacles timecode tool).
I record audio from a boom mic to the computer for my 'good audio', then I also have the video + audio from my camera - the 'bad' audio. Does that answer your question? Thanks for checking out the video!
@@JasonYadlovski okay, so i guess you just added audio tracks. I needed to add two videos (with audio in it that didn't show up just like that - that's why I asked how did u do that), synchronize them and then leave 1st video with 2nd audio. Thanks :)
I don't have to option auto sync audio. I 've managed to sync them manually but how do I make it stick? So if I shorten the video the audio will shorten too.
Hi! You should get the option if you try to do it in the media pool of the edit page. But since you already lined them up, select both clips, right click and choose link clips at the bottom of the menu. Then they should move together. 😁👍
@@JasonYadlovski THAT is the point that i missed that drove me crazy for hours now. The program doesn't offer the alignment (it's even greyed out in the "clips" dropdown, when you're on the media pool page). You have to switch to the edit page so the option shows up. Heureka!
Awesome, glad you figured that out! Pretty much all my videos are in the edit page if I don’t mention it, I don’t really use the cut page or the media page all that much.
So this replaced one audio with another and oiut of sync with the video. Had to restart the entire program. How do I sync two audio tracks so I have both and can cut back and forth and in sync with the video?
In that case I think you can either just sync the audio but use the 'append track' option when you sync. Then you will have both the original audio and the synced audio when you drop the clip in the timeline. The other way might be to make a multicam clip, then you can switch 'angles' between the 2 audio tracks. Both methods should work.
Sure, just unlink the audio and video clips, then you can bump the audio using the period and comma keys to line it back up. That should do the trick. Then turn the link back on and you’re all set. Hope this helps!
I just downloaded divinci resolve 17, how do I get those little white lines that show the frequencies of sound on my timeline. Mine is just the plain green bar for some reason
Great tutorial as always - but I must be doing something wrong. I've a Blackmagic Raw clip (with in camera audio) and a .wav file from a recorder of the same clip. They won't synch by waveform. The wav is about 4" longer than the video - could that be the issue? I would have thought it could handle that difference. Both are under 40" in case the shortness is an issue. Do they have to be trimmed exactly? Any insight would be really appreciated! Thanks
You have two options, try doing it in the media poll. Select your clip, select your audio, right click, choose sync audio. It should not matter how long either one of the clips are. Another option is to bring them both into the timeline select them both, right click and choose aline using audio.
@@JasonYadlovski I do have one question. When I go to video effects tab, mine is empty. I have no effects. I only have titles (text) I can use. Is this because I use the free version of Davinci?
They should all be there. I’d try to reinstall But first check the menu on the left where you see the effects to make sure you click on video transitions, audio transitions, generators, effects, etc.
@JasonYadlovski What's a good audio recorder to purchase for low-budget filmmaking? And do you recommend a Tascam DR-40 with a Sennheiser Shotgun Mic? Do all best audio recordings happen with a Lavalier mic?
That Tascam seems good. I like any of the Zoom recorders too, you could find one that fits your budget. I use the Sennheiser MKE600 and it's awesome. I would not say that the best recordings are with a Lav Mic. You can get better results from a boom mic in my opinion, but it really depends on your filming setup. If you are run and gun, then a Lav probably makes the most sense. If it's more staged, a boom mic might be better.
Hello! I got a problem, how can I sync these Audio files to already edited clips!? After I synced up the new audio to clips the ones already on the timeline have the old audio!?! Is there a way to update it where I don't have to re-edit, I would think that after syncing the new audio to the source clips that it would transfer to the ones already on the timeline
I don't think there's a quick way to do what you are trying to do. Audio and video clips need to be synced before you bring it into the timeline. Kind of a pain that it works that way. I agree with you - it should automatically sync the audio in the timeline regardless.
Question, what do you do if you have 2 camera interview but stopped and start record in between takes? This gives you multiple clips that need to be synced on one timeline. The method you show would take along time to drag each take to timeline, match them up then sync. Is there a way to take all clips from camera A and sync them with Camera B automatically?
You could make your clips into a multi cam clip. Even if you don’t want it as a Multicam clip, it will sync everything up, then you can just select all the clips, copy them, go back to your regular timeline and paste the clips in and everything will be lined up.
How do you fix audio that gradually gets desynced after editing? My source media is perfectly in sync but after trimming it down, I am finding that the last few segments are slightly out of sync. Really annoying because I spent a lot of time editing and preparing the video. Is there a simple shift audio capability?
HI! I have that issue sometimes and I just make a cut, then bump the audio a few frames before continuing. If you already have all your cuts, I would use the Dynamic Trim Mode (3rd icon from the left on the toolbar just above the timeline), select the clip, then you can hover the mouse on the clip until you see the icon look like this: () and you can 'slip' the audio inside the clip boundaries or hover the mouse over the clip and use the comma and period keys to move the audio frame by frame. You'd have to do this for each clip. Another option is to use the match frame tool and just match frame to the beginning of the video part of the clip, then grab just the audio and bring that down into the timeline. Hope the options help!
What do you do if the video clip and the audio file are not the same length? As in, when I manually sync the beginning, the back isn't synced. When I sync the audio at the end, the beginning isn't synced. I know it has to do something with frame rate or sample rate, but I can't find a fix.
Hi! What I do is just make a cut every once and a while, then realign the audio and keep editing until you need to make a cut and bump the audio again. Could be different frame rates between the video and the timeline (i.e. 23.976 vs 24 fps)
@@JasonYadlovski definitely suspect the frame rates aren't the same, but I'm not finding a way to tell davinci the correct frame rate. I figure that would be the easier approach if it were possible. Thanks for your time.
From experience, the 2 video sync method that relies on waveform doesn't work well or at all if you're recording something with wildly varying sounds with multiple cameras (say a concert video, filmed in a wide are with cameras dotted on different spots for different angles). Im not sure if theres a way to make it work since the video's audio varied too much on each camera for Davinci to accurately sync them.
Hi! That makes total sense, it seems to work best when you have a good sync point and your audio is fairly clean. I could see it being a problem at something like a concert or something with varied Audio. In that case maybe you need to use time code to sync if possible.
are you using davinci resolve or davinci resolve studio? i am asking as i do not get the same right click menus and i am using the free version (aka davinci resolve)
Glad you figured it out! Definitely check out which tab amen in the videos, sometimes I mention it sometimes I don’t. I pretty much never use the cut tab, I really just use the edit tab. Thanks for watching man!
Hi Wot could be the reason my voice over audio file is not playing in edut page in resolve 17 ? I create voice over lectures Please tell me how to rectify this issue? Should I have to update resolve 17 to beta 8.0 version? Is that because of that?
Hi! There could be a lot different reasons you don't hear anything. Do you hear audio from anything else in resolve? Do you see the meters in the mixer moving? Are you're audio channels routed to the Bus 1 Main out? Here's a video with some tips you can try: ua-cam.com/video/k7ifrHGqTu8/v-deo.html Looks like you might have already seen it. 😜
@@JasonYadlovski only my background music and video is playing. I have inserted voice over in audio track 1 , then in audio track 2 I have placed my background music. When i increase the speed of the voice over clip( using inspector ) , no audio is coming out from the voice over .
Timecode is if you have all of your video synced to the same time. For example all footage/cameras start at 0:00 and every time the recording is stopped and started, they all have the same timecode on the footage. Does that make sense? Thanks for watching!
Hey, just starting on Davinci. In premiere I would sync my audio and video with clip markers. Syncing by waveform never works for me. Is there a similar functionality in davinci? I've imported my project from Premiere with all my clip markers in place, but now I need to sync them up. Could someone help?
There are a few other methods to sync the clips. They should be in that same menu when you try to sync. I'm not at my computer now, but I think you can use in/out points, timecode, waveforms and I think there's another that i'm not thinking of....🤔
@@JasonYadlovski it's just that it seems like such an easy thing to implement, prsmiere has had it for years. And it would make my life a lot easier in my transition
Will this also work to synch several edited, modified and short clips to the original audio timeline-and all at one go, do you happen to know? Just to amplify (unintended humour), you have an audio track which you split it into several smaller and improved audio clips but which now have spaces between each small segment (perhaps because you are cleaning up background interruptions, etc). Can each of the smaller clips now be synched to the original (and hopefully at one go)? This would be a help during editing particularly to remove out-takes. Another great video, J. Thanks.
Hi Les! Resolve only lets you sync 2 clips at a time so far, but it seems to be pretty smart about it. By that I mean it moves all of the synced items and clips don't become 'unsynced' by syncing new clips. For me anyway, it all seems to stay intact. So while it's a pain you can't select a bunch of clips and sync them all at once, you can do it will all of them, 2 clips at a time. Hope that helps answer your question! Thanks for watching!
mine said it cant aline the clips now what do I do, How do I do it manually because I turned on audio first to record then video is this why and how do I sinc them Im so dang frustrated, please help
Hi! To manually align clips, you've got a few options. 1 - just drop both clips in the timeline, drag them to to get them lined up fairly close, then use the period and comma keys with the clip selected to move the clip frame by frame until the audio matches. 2 - try this tip in the media page: ua-cam.com/video/o_YsfqEkaKQ/v-deo.html
Ur a guy a guy with natural talent there brother, when I started my gaming channel (this is my personal account), I learned everything about how to edit videos on davinci resolve from you Huge respect!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi..I am your fan.
I cannot find teh audio sync function tools. What should I do to find to sync audio files?
Thanks.
Hi! Make sure you are in the edit tab, select both clips in the media pool, right click and you should see the option. 👍😁
Thank you, this was very helpful. I was trying to stitch 2 dashcam files that contain duplicate footage and came off the same camera. This tip is exactly the solution I was looking for. Regards
You're welcome!
Hello, Thank you so much. Just a question, If I have my audio in one bin and the video in another, how can I sync it?
You’re welcome! I think they need to be in the same bin. I think you can move it after you sync them though.
@@JasonYadlovski Ok thank you, I think Blackmagic should add a feature if you select clips from one bin and do not click an empty space you can go to ther bins and select clips in the other bins without loosing the original selection(s). Many people like to be organized that way. Anyways, thanks.
Hey! What if I have one long audio file but multiple different clips? How does the syncing work for that? Thank you!
My you should be able to drop in the one long clip and then drop your video clips on top and then sync up one video clip with the long audio clip. I’ve done it before and it works well.
@@JasonYadlovski Do you have to do it one at a time?
I think so. I found it to work better when doing one at a time.
thank you Jason, very helpful!

Hi, Jason. When trying this I keep getting the "Auto Sync Failed. No match was found when attempting to align these clips." message despite having very clean audio. Any advice on how to fix this?
Are you trying to sync just 2 clips at a time? Not sure why resolve wouldn't find a sync point if the audio is good....
@@JasonYadlovski Yup! Just two clips with no success. I did however reshoot with a clap at the start of recording and this seems to have fixed the issue. Thank you very much for taking the time to reply, you have earned a sub for sure!

I try to find a tutorial on how to do multi-cam in the cut page with an external recording
and I can't find none
I don’t know if you can do multi cam in the cut page. I’ve never tried, I always do everything in the edit page, I think it’s easier and I always end up there anyway. I’ve got a video on multi cam editing if you’re interested, it’s in the edit tab though.
Thank you for the video, I couldn't increase the lenght of the video, tried everything on davinci in vain. any tips would be highly appreciated
Hi! What kind of clip are you trying to make longer?
@@JasonYadlovski I’ve downloaded music and videos from UA-cam library.
Short clips, but I couldn’t increase the length of the videos using davinci resolve 17
@@JasonYadlovski a music clip with video but with a length of at least an hour and half. I have many of them already just stuck in the length
Do you have in points and out points set on the clips before you bring them into the timeline? If you have the full clip in the media pool and drag it into the timeline I should put it in there at its full length, unless you’ve selected in/out points
@@JasonYadlovski mmmmm not sure
Great video and demonstration, Jason, thanks. Cheers, Dave
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching!
BTW, Jason.
I’ve worked in audio and video post for over 30 years, mostly music and film production and a bit of TV and DVD authoring. While I wouldn’t class myself as an editor, as I’ve generally worked overseeing productions, I do a lot of editing - slowly :)
I started on Premier in the early 90s, a bit of Avid in the late 90s (didn’t like it) but mostly Edius for almost the last 20 years. This has all been on Windows and during that time there have been smatterings of FCP when working with people on Mac.
I made a slow permanent transition from Windows to Mac during the last 18 months, it took a while because I knew Edius very well and it was hard to migrate while making my UA-cam videos. Plus, it is Windows only which also made the move to Mac and another NLE quite difficult for me.
Anyway, enough of that boring life story :)
It’s been almost 6 months now since I cut the cord and I’ve only switched on my Windows machines for mostly file transferring and specific codec transcodes and re-wraps as I’ve become more used to my Mac and Resolve Studio. Your videos have been a MASSIVE help to me for finding quick answers to a lot of Resolve technical routines as I’ve been forcing myself to forget my Edius muscle memory.
I also think you’ve got a great presentation style and personality and you get your points over perfectly and succinctly. On that point, I should take some tips from you for my own channel as I don’t know when to shut up :) Plus, you’ve got a great accent 👍
Thank you so much for your insight and help.
Cheers,
Dave.
Hey Jason, a fan of your videos, am a musician, and trying my hand at DaVinci resolve of course with the help of your videos. I am using the free version of DaVinci resolve and I don't see the auto-sync option?Is that only for the studio version or is this feature available on the free one as well?
Thanks in advance!
Hi! Thanks for checking out my vids! It’s in the free version, make sure you are in the EDIT tab. It doesn’t work in the cut tab. Hope this helps!
@@JasonYadlovski thanks a lot for such a quick response,i had to unlink the audio on the video and then I got the option,thanks a ton again for the quick response
ok, pretty close to solving my problem. Clarity not quite there, but it was valuable.
I filmed a machinery move with a tripod mounted camera and a handheld iphone. timeline has clips separated by time.
. do i have to match them visually before using the match video? including putting the other clip on a separate track?
I actually need this level of detail today, so any help would be gratefully accepted and used.
I would just manually line them up, then you can link the clips. Yes they would need to be in separate tracks. The other option is to make them a multicam clip, then you can just switch angles when you want to.
@@JasonYadlovski Thanks for the speedy reply. I will line them up on separate tracks. Since I do want to change views, I would be pleased to make Multicam clips. Do you have a video dealing with that process?
I do have a video about multicam - it’s a little old but everything works the same. ua-cam.com/video/ZzPZe36RdkU/v-deo.htmlsi=O0RWSkitn6Wqj-b4
@@JasonYadlovski watching it now. Thank you.
if you already add the clips to the time line and cut it together if you sync the audio after it gets syn in the allready cut timeline or you have to re edit everthing from scratch?
Hi! I’m not sure, I’ve never done it that way. I always sync first. I kind of think it will not work that way but it’s worth a try. 😜👍
Anyway to sync 2 audio sources without a video? I have a mp3 file of a song by a band that had 2 singers that recorded the exact same song and I wanted to make a duet of the both. But I can only seem to match 1 source to a video
I never tried to match just 2 audio clips w/ no video clip. If they are the same, can you line them up manually quickly? I realize that might be too time consuming depending on the recordings....
Returned to this video again. thanks. I do have a question. If I have audio clip A (with two people saying something) that I play while recording a video and I do, say 3 takes. Now I have a video clip where the audio clip A is slightly heard a few times. I can't sync that easily- need to visually drag the audio clip A to each occurrence of it in my video- manually adjusting it with waveform. I wish there was a way to get auto help for a section- because sometimes the waveform in the video is very tiny and it is very hard to sync. It seems like there should be a way to do this because the software should be able to look at the waveform for you and light up a section from video and a short audio clip.
You can probably make a cut in the clip so the section you want to sync is separated from the whole clip. Do the same with the audio clip, then select both clips, right click and choose sync by waveform. That should do it.
@@JasonYadlovski that's a good idea to try. . Basically cut down the takes into actual separate files. thank you.
Hey, thanks for this great video!
Just a question. Does the multiple clip sync work if it’s 4 different videos,
So, I shot something on four different camera set ups so do I just put them all on the timeline and simply follow that same process?
Even though one of the cameras stops and starts.
Thank you for your time.
You’re welcome! It should work if you select all the clips then sync them. Sometimes I’ve had some trouble and I’ll end up just doing two clips at a time but it should be able to line up the clips for you. Best luck on your project and thanks for checking out the video! 😁👍

When syncing all your clips within the media pool, how do you handle syncing clips that are in various folders vs when they are all in the same folder (like your example)? ***I keep my video/w original audio in a separate folder from the folder containing my Zoom H6 audio.
Unfortunately, they have to be in the same folder in your media port to be able to sync them in the media pole. I have not found a way around that just yet. Once you sync them up, you can move them to another folder, I believe.
Hey man, just like to thank you, im starting a podcast and these tips really help me alot. Appreciate it, thanks!
Awesome, congrats on the podcast! Hope it was awesome! 😁👍
Sweet! Can I sync batches?
Sure, I have done it where I have one audio clip and I sync multiple camera clips to that audio at the same time. Works good for me. 😁👍
@@JasonYadlovski THanks man. I'm gonna try it! ;-)
Hi, do you think it's possible to sync audio with an external mic after editing has been done using the camera audio?
You may be able to sync the audio and video in the media pool after you've done your editing, then once they are synced go back to the clips in the timeline, right click, open Clip Properties, go to the audio tab, and change the in put source to synced audio. Ideally, you want to sync audio before you start to edit.
hello @Jason, is this the same for davinci res 18?
Yes, same for Resolve 18. 😁👍
@@JasonYadlovski thank you :)))
Hi Jason, If you bring in a clip from a VHS recording and the audio is off is there a way to sync it up with the video if you don't have any other audio sources. I tried locking the video timeline and moving the audio timeline but I just can't get it right. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You!!!
Hi! You can sync it up, you'd have to unlock the tracks so you can move the audio and video independently, then watch the video and line up the audio. You can bump the audio frame by frame if you select it, then use the period and comma keys to move it.
@@JasonYadlovski Thank you so much. I alway appreciate your help. Best wishes!
You’re welcome!
There a way to match back to the original audio from the time line if your group is only showing one track, but your production audio has multiple tracks?
I'm not quite sure I follow what you are trying to do. Do you want to go back to the original audio? If you do, here's a video on how to do it: ua-cam.com/video/rncAZp_7msI/v-deo.html If that's not it, can you give me a little more info and I'll try and help. thanks!
@@JasonYadlovski Thanks for the response. It may be an issue with how I setup up the group to begin with. The production audio that i have synced to my A camera via the Media tab shows the 6 tracks of audio but in my group A & B cam when I lay that into the timeline it is only showing one track of audio when I lay it into the timeline. This is normally how I use groups when I'm working in avid so wasn't too worried at first because in avid if I match back to the audio I can then match back again and it reveals the original audio with all the tracks. When I right-click on the group clip it doesn't show an option for clip attributes. Is there a way to have the Group I've already made show or hide those additional audio tracks or is that something I have to remake the group to fix?
exactly what I was looking for (esp. afer trying to sync each video file/scene with the recorded audio file ony by one)
👍
Hey Jason, what about if I have my Tascam audio recorder plugged into my shotgun mic but not into the camera. My understanding is that I will get my good audio straight into the recorder and just video from the camera.
Does this change the process you laid out here?
Note: my mic or recorder are not plugged into the camera at all.
Hi! You need some kind of audio from your camera otherwise there’s nothing for a resolve to sync it with. It doesn’t have to be great audio just something that can sync together with your good audio.
@@JasonYadlovski so e.g. I have to connect the mic to the recorder with XLR, and then I have to use a cable to connect the recorder to the camera?
No, you can use your mic on the external recorder, that's ok. Then on your camera, just use the internal mic to record the audio too. That will give Resolve a way to sync the 2 audio tracks. Resolve can't sync an external audio track to a video with no audio automatically. You'd have to do that manually. Resolve uses the wave forms of the audio to automatically sync it. Does that make sense?
Is it possible to do a batch sync using DaVinci? As opposed to doing each video file and audio file individually?
Hi Jason, do you know if you can do this in the free version of Resolve?
Yes you can do this in the free version. 😁👍
@@JasonYadlovski thank you! Any idea why I am not seeing the 'Auto Sync Audio' as an option when I right click on the 2 clips? TIA!
Make sure you are in the edit tab. Make sure one is audio and the other is the video clip. You should get the option.
I came here to learn how to sync audio and I got it real quick, thank you. I felt to help you as well, why don't you connect your boom mic audio to camera directly?
Thanks for checking out the video! I could do that with my boom mic however I don’t always record from my camera when I’m doing a screen recording. So it’s better just to have it go directly into my computer for me. 😁👍 thanks for the suggestion!
@@JasonYadlovski sounds logical👌
I filmed a video using an external mic attached to my camera so I end up with the audio from the mic and not from the camera.
But sometimes when I am editing and have to unlock the video and audio clips they end up becoming unsynched.
There will be a small red box with some numbers for time that appear at the beginning of the audio clip which I think represents the time that is out of synch.
Is there any way to synch the audio and video back together after they get out of synch? There is just one clip in the media pool for the audio and video together.
Hi Gayle! Yes, you need to unlink the clips, then you can use the comma and period keys to bump the clip in the direction you need to go to line things back up. That will move the clip frame by frame. You’re correct, The numbers in the Redbox tell you how far out of sink the clips are.
@@JasonYadlovski I edited a video with clips from one single clip and somehow in the process my clips are in the wrong order.
Is there any way to see a time stamp or something so I can figure out how to re arrange my clips so they make sense?
You can try using the match frame tool to see where the clip is in relation to the original clip in the media pool: ua-cam.com/video/if4YFz_lD0Q/v-deo.html
Nice demostration! You made me chose Davinci as my priority.
Thanks! Resolve is awesome, I’ve got lots of videos to help you if you are interested. 😁👍

Resolve does make it easy. 😁👍
Need advice for recording my band with video and audio sync, which formats are best to upload WAV for audio and video should be what?
Hi! I don't think there is a best, just use whatever your camera/mic can do. Resolve can read pretty much anything. For video, I typically use .mov or .mp4.
Is this exclusive for the studio version?
No, this is in the free version and the studio version. Make sure you’re in the edit tab in order to find it.
when i retime a clip say to 400%, how do i get that clips original audio to match its speed? Another good video here. Im sure that will come in handy in the future.

Jason - I did a two camera shoot outside yesterday with the lavalier mic feed into main camera. The wind was blowing and camera 2 recorded very low sound. When I tried to sync via waveform, I got a "failure to sync" message. I'm struggling to sync via Markers now. Not finding a tutorial on that. Any suggestions? Thx much. Hondo in MN
Hi! Are you trying to sync the clips in the timeline? You can try boosting the volume on camera 2, maybe that will help it sync up.
When syncing Audio clip with Video clip....how do you undo that action? Sometimes I've needed to go back to using the original Camera audio but can't because every time the Video clip now has the Audio clip baked into it. The only work around I have found is to make a duplicate copy of the Video clip BEFORE the sync process so that I have a copy of it with Camera audio only.
Hi! I’ve got just a video for you, this will show you how to do it. It’s pretty easy once you see it, let me know if you have any questions. ua-cam.com/video/rncAZp_7msI/v-deo.html
Great explanation, thank you! Have you ever gotten a terrible machine sound instead of the actual audio when trying to record timecode?
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching! I haven’t had that problem before. 😁
One question: Is it possible for DaVinci to make one integral video by using different parts from different audio tracks which I recorded with microfones? I recorded piano recital. I am wondering if there is possibilty for programme to recognize all video cuts by audio track that I am going to make from different interpretations. Or I need to find exact parts on video manualy and than match to sound? Sorry for bad English
As long as you have some scratch audio, you should be able to have resolve match up your good audio with your scratch audio. You might just need to use multiple clips of the good audio in different tracks to match the parts you want.
@@JasonYadlovski thank you very much on your reply!
Wow, that's crazy easy. Thanks for going the extra step to explain "append'.
You got it! I use this all the time, it's great and works good most of the time for me. 😁👍

Yes they can move together.
@@JasonYadlovski Great thanks. 👍🏻
Jason im having issues where my audio is not in sync with my video however my audio and video are together since it is a video game recording... the audio is about 1 full second behind the video... can you please make a video showing how to sync the audio with an edit that has its audio and video together.
Hi! Here’s what you need to do, unlink the two clips, then just move the audio only into the correct position. Then you can select both clips and re-link them again. If you’re not sure how to read link/unlink, just select it right click go down to link clips all the way at the bottom, and that should unlink them first and then re-link them again. Hope this helps, best of luck!
Does it work when u didnt put the waveform from the videoclip into the timeline? I make a music video atm and wonder.. The only audio file is the Song in the timeline. Does Davinci get the waveform automaticially from the videoclip?
If you’re trying to sync a video clip with an external audio clip, you can sync them right in the media pool. Just select your audio file and then your video clip and right click, then sync audio.
If the clips are in your timeline with no audio and you wanna sync an external audio recording to it, I don’t know that I can do it automatically. I’ve never tried it but I would think you would need the audio from your video clip in there.
Awesome tip! Exactly what I was looking for.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Jason! Could you please help? My two different camera angles doesn't want to align/ sync. I get the error message of "match not found". Both camera's recorder with sound, but one of them had an on-camera mic. Could this have anything to do with it? How can I fix it?
Hi! As long as the audio levels are decent, they should sync up. Try syncing only 1 clip from each camera at a time. If it's not working, you'll just have to manually line them up.
Do you frequently update resolve 17 to newer beta version ? While doing do you backup the folders in resolve 17 ? How do you install & activate the downloaded beta 8.0 version?
Yes I always keep up with all of the Beta updates and really any updates. I backup my database before upgrading everything. The rest is usually ok for me. Here's a video about backups: ua-cam.com/video/PTMh_zrDW7o/v-deo.html
Great video and exactly what I was looking for. I have a question. How can I sync a video clip with an audio clip when they are both in different bins? I tried selecting a video clip from my footage bin but when I go to the audio bin and select an audio clicp, the video clip is deselected, and there is no option to sync them. I want to sync them before dragging the clip to my timeline. Thanks.
Thanks! Glad the video was helpful! 👍 The audio and video have to be in the same bin to sync. You can probably move them back to their bins after syncing them.
@@JasonYadlovski Ok sounds good. Thank you.
I just can't....all that time I spent syncing multiple sources of audio/video for weddings. I right-clicked in Resolve and saw something that said sync audio and led me here. Great video.
Oh man, I feel for ya! I find that if it feels like something is taking too long, there's gotta be a better/quicker way. 😜 Hopefully this helps speed up your workflow not! Thanks for watching!
SO auto sync ONLY works if you select the audio and video clip in the media bin but it does not work if you select the audio and video clips in the timeline, correct?
And it seems to only work if you do not have any clips in the timeline. Would you agree?
I tried with clips in the timeline and it did not sync audio to video but maybe I did something wrong.
Correct they have to be in the media pool, not the timeline. 😁👍
A question on 17.04 cant find auto sync audio! Do you know where is it?
It’s still in the same spot, make sure you’re in the edit tab and then the media pool. 👍😁
Got it thanks!
is it possible to sync a voice memo from my phone onto Devinci Resolve?
Sure, you should be able to export or send the file from your phone via email or something similar to your computer then you should be able to just drop it into DaVinci Resolve. If you’re on a Mac and you have an iPhone, you can probably airdrop it.
One big doubt:
Once you sync your talking head and screen recording audio, How do you sync that synced piece (talking head + screen recording) to the main audio that you record on a microphone? Help plz!
Here's my process:
In the media pool, I select my good audio only clip and my video clip. Right click, sync them up. Then I bring in my video clips (that has the good audio already synced in it) into the timeline, I also bring in my screen recording into the timeline. Once both are in the the timeline, I select both, right click and sync the. BOOM! I'm good to go.
@@JasonYadlovski Thank you for getting back. Means a lot ❤️
Hey Jason, what is your audio editing workflow for a video like this? do you have any video tutorials on your channel? I found the difference between the audios you show in this video incredible.
Hi, thanks for your kind words! I do have lots of audio tutorials on my channel you can check out. My setup is a Sennheiser MKE 600 with Audient EVO 4 audio interface. In Fairlight, I usually set my levels, then apply some EQ, compression, a Multiband compressor and a DeEsser. I've got videos on all that stuff that you can check out if you want. Thanks for watching!
Good video, exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, after I select the two clips I want to sink and try to sink it up, I get an error "Auto Sync Failed" "No match was found when attempting to align these clips. I just had some vocals in GoPro footage skiing. I guess I have to do some clap or scream to get proper alignment? :) Thanks again
Hi! Are usually do a couple claps in the beginning but one thing you can try is bring both clips in the timeline and make the clips shorter or you know they overlap the audio, sync it up and then just extend the clips longer again. I find that work sometimes too.
@@JasonYadlovski Thanks. I recently learned you can also sync up by using markers (to get multicam) or IN points (to use sync bin)
Yeah those ways work too. There’s always multiple ways to do things and resolve. 👍😁
Can I do this after already putting clips on the timeline? I've edited 7 minutes of a short and it's all the bad audio currently.
You can drop the good audio in the timeline and. Then select the video/audio you’ve already got as well as the good audio, right click and then sync them by waveform. If you’ve got lots of cuts, you’d have to do that for every cut. I don’t think DR will replace the audio of the clips in the timeline if you sync it with the good audio in the media pool. I’d have to try it.
@@JasonYadlovski Yeah that seems to be the case. When I started I was doing it the way I always did and then realized I should prob Google. Should’ve googled just a tad sooner… but it’s okay! I’m excited for the future! Thank you!
Hi Jason. Thanks for all that tips and hints!
Assume that i try to sync very long takes this way and don't have TC on (at least one) of the long clips. What now with differences in the (local) clocks of both machines? If DR can sync the two files by matching the audio within their first seconds, wouldn't the clips run away over time anyway? Are they still in sync five, ten or fiftheen minutes later? Or will DR stretch one of the files to keep up with the over?
Hi! Thanks for checking out my videos! I have found that the sync works pretty well and for me the sync is good for the entire duration of my clips.
@@JasonYadlovski Sounds great, but how long are your clips at most so far? Thanks! :)
Generally my clips can be up to 25 minutes or so. A little more or a little less.
@@JasonYadlovski Meanwhile i've done (only a little bit) investigation. There IS an limiting case what DR can handle for syncing. I tried a roughly 35min clip by an Panasonic HC-X1 (ref audio@48k) and a Zoom F8 (shotgun@96k). Then i downsampled the F8 recording to 48k. It perfectly suited as described. Now... what if one of these devices crystal would run away by a small amount of detuning? I simulated that by stretching or squeeizing the F8's part.
Ever i made two versions, one of speeding up (shortening the wav), one by slowing down (stretchening). I took versions by 0.05%, then 0.02% and at last 0.005%. So... stretching roughly 35mins by 0.005% means additional 107ms in length. So delay between 50 and 150ms typically sounds like schoolyard echo. This can happen quiet often with devices' independent crystals over half an hour.
Using the rude version changed by 0.05% (roughly one second difference) and 0.02% (~430msecs) Resolve refused to sync against. Whenever i tried so DR reported: "No match was found when attempting to align these clips."
Then, with the 0.005% version it could catch up. I was astonished to see that DR equilibrates the audio in the middle. I clapped in the video. In the leading part (for the streched audio) the HC-X1' track lagged behind, at the end of the clip the F8' track lagged behind. So in the middle part of the clip the sound is nailed.
I didn't had time to proof exactly where the limit is. But there is a limit we have to care for. Personally i think thats not a big deal if we know our equipment and its behavour good enough. I don't have a tentacle sync-e set, otherwise i would check how far the limit could be pushed then, by syncing against the audible timecode (either by DR or the tentacles timecode tool).
1:16 but how do you get split sound and audio out of this 2 videoclips?......
I record audio from a boom mic to the computer for my 'good audio', then I also have the video + audio from my camera - the 'bad' audio. Does that answer your question? Thanks for checking out the video!
@@JasonYadlovski okay, so i guess you just added audio tracks. I needed to add two videos (with audio in it that didn't show up just like that - that's why I asked how did u do that), synchronize them and then leave 1st video with 2nd audio. Thanks :)
Correct, I just added in the audio tracks from my other recording device.
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
I cant explain how mutch this helped me !!! omg +rep
I don't have to option auto sync audio. I 've managed to sync them manually but how do I make it stick? So if I shorten the video the audio will shorten too.
Hi! You should get the option if you try to do it in the media pool of the edit page. But since you already lined them up, select both clips, right click and choose link clips at the bottom of the menu. Then they should move together. 😁👍
@@JasonYadlovski THAT is the point that i missed that drove me crazy for hours now. The program doesn't offer the alignment (it's even greyed out in the "clips" dropdown, when you're on the media pool page). You have to switch to the edit page so the option shows up. Heureka!
Awesome, glad you figured that out! Pretty much all my videos are in the edit page if I don’t mention it, I don’t really use the cut page or the media page all that much.
Liked and subscribed. Thanks for the tips
Thanks so much! I appreciate the like and sub, thanks for checking out the video! 😁👍
"auto align clips- based on waveform" is not available when i highlighted all 3 tracks (vid1, audio 1, audio 2).
Try just selecting 2 tracks, it should work then....
Awesome video and info!
Thanks for watching!
So this replaced one audio with another and oiut of sync with the video. Had to restart the entire program. How do I sync two audio tracks so I have both and can cut back and forth and in sync with the video?
In that case I think you can either just sync the audio but use the 'append track' option when you sync. Then you will have both the original audio and the synced audio when you drop the clip in the timeline. The other way might be to make a multicam clip, then you can switch 'angles' between the 2 audio tracks. Both methods should work.
What happens when you capture gameplay footage and the audio is out of sync, can you use Resolve to sync it? I did capture the audio in it's own track
Sure, just unlink the audio and video clips, then you can bump the audio using the period and comma keys to line it back up. That should do the trick. Then turn the link back on and you’re all set. Hope this helps!
@@JasonYadlovski It worked, thank you! I'm new to this and I didn't expect audio to be almost as big a nightmare as HDR
I just downloaded divinci resolve 17, how do I get those little white lines that show the frequencies of sound on my timeline. Mine is just the plain green bar for some reason
Hi! You need to go to your timeline few options, here’s a video on how to get there ua-cam.com/video/KljEOhW_LEM/v-deo.html
Great tutorial as always - but I must be doing something wrong.
I've a Blackmagic Raw clip (with in camera audio) and a .wav file from a recorder of the same clip. They won't synch by waveform.
The wav is about 4" longer than the video - could that be the issue? I would have thought it could handle that difference.
Both are under 40" in case the shortness is an issue.
Do they have to be trimmed exactly?
Any insight would be really appreciated!
Thanks
You have two options, try doing it in the media poll. Select your clip, select your audio, right click, choose sync audio. It should not matter how long either one of the clips are.
Another option is to bring them both into the timeline select them both, right click and choose aline using audio.
@@JasonYadlovski Thanks - yea the second option via the timeline worked a treat👍
Great tutorial again. So many things I still don’t know about this software. You keep me up to date
Thanks! Same here, there is tons I don't know either. So much in this program. Thanks for watching!
@@JasonYadlovski I do have one question. When I go to video effects tab, mine is empty. I have no effects. I only have titles (text) I can use. Is this because I use the free version of Davinci?
They should all be there. I’d try to reinstall But first check the menu on the left where you see the effects to make sure you click on video transitions, audio transitions, generators, effects, etc.
Super helpful! I'm excited to start using this.
It’s a great feature, I use it all the time!
After sync bin and importing to timeline. the audio file name has changed. How can I retain the original name of sound file?
@JasonYadlovski What's a good audio recorder to purchase for low-budget filmmaking? And do you recommend a Tascam DR-40 with a Sennheiser Shotgun Mic? Do all best audio recordings happen with a Lavalier mic?
That Tascam seems good. I like any of the Zoom recorders too, you could find one that fits your budget. I use the Sennheiser MKE600 and it's awesome. I would not say that the best recordings are with a Lav Mic. You can get better results from a boom mic in my opinion, but it really depends on your filming setup. If you are run and gun, then a Lav probably makes the most sense. If it's more staged, a boom mic might be better.
@@JasonYadlovski Fantastic! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this!!! Amazing to see an up to date video on this subject. Loving DR 17.
You're welcome! Thanks so much for checking out the video! DR17 is awesome! 😁
Hello! I got a problem, how can I sync these Audio files to already edited clips!? After I synced up the new audio to clips the ones already on the timeline have the old audio!?! Is there a way to update it where I don't have to re-edit, I would think that after syncing the new audio to the source clips that it would transfer to the ones already on the timeline
I don't think there's a quick way to do what you are trying to do. Audio and video clips need to be synced before you bring it into the timeline. Kind of a pain that it works that way. I agree with you - it should automatically sync the audio in the timeline regardless.
@@JasonYadlovski Thanks anyways, I learned my lesson! I'll never edit before syncing again 😆
You are the best! İ had to work toooooo much on it! But now just a min. 👏👏👏
Love this too! 😜👍😁
Fantastic!!! Thanks, just what the audio doctor ordered:).
Awesome, you're welcome!
autosync option does not exist on my davinci resolve 17. any advice? maybe it's the paid version that has it or the mac version that has it.
Hi! It’s in both the free version and studio version. Make sure you’re in the edit tab for it to work.
Super helpful mate, thanks. Been using iMovie for a time and just moved to davinci, this may very well save my life.
You’re welcome! Welcome to Resolve. 😁👍
Question, what do you do if you have 2 camera interview but stopped and start record in between takes? This gives you multiple clips that need to be synced on one timeline. The method you show would take along time to drag each take to timeline, match them up then sync. Is there a way to take all clips from camera A and sync them with Camera B automatically?
You could make your clips into a multi cam clip. Even if you don’t want it as a Multicam clip, it will sync everything up, then you can just select all the clips, copy them, go back to your regular timeline and paste the clips in and everything will be lined up.
How do you fix audio that gradually gets desynced after editing? My source media is perfectly in sync but after trimming it down, I am finding that the last few segments are slightly out of sync. Really annoying because I spent a lot of time editing and preparing the video. Is there a simple shift audio capability?
HI! I have that issue sometimes and I just make a cut, then bump the audio a few frames before continuing. If you already have all your cuts, I would use the Dynamic Trim Mode (3rd icon from the left on the toolbar just above the timeline), select the clip, then you can hover the mouse on the clip until you see the icon look like this: () and you can 'slip' the audio inside the clip boundaries or hover the mouse over the clip and use the comma and period keys to move the audio frame by frame. You'd have to do this for each clip.
Another option is to use the match frame tool and just match frame to the beginning of the video part of the clip, then grab just the audio and bring that down into the timeline.
Hope the options help!
Oh my, I watched this previously ( well I watch ALL your vids) and here within was the solution. You're the best!
You got it! 😁👍
What do you do if the video clip and the audio file are not the same length? As in, when I manually sync the beginning, the back isn't synced. When I sync the audio at the end, the beginning isn't synced. I know it has to do something with frame rate or sample rate, but I can't find a fix.
Hi! What I do is just make a cut every once and a while, then realign the audio and keep editing until you need to make a cut and bump the audio again. Could be different frame rates between the video and the timeline (i.e. 23.976 vs 24 fps)
@@JasonYadlovski definitely suspect the frame rates aren't the same, but I'm not finding a way to tell davinci the correct frame rate. I figure that would be the easier approach if it were possible.
Thanks for your time.
Thanks for the tip. It will speed up my workflow a lot.
You're welcome! I use this all the time, super helpful!
From experience, the 2 video sync method that relies on waveform doesn't work well or at all if you're recording something with wildly varying sounds with multiple cameras (say a concert video, filmed in a wide are with cameras dotted on different spots for different angles). Im not sure if theres a way to make it work since the video's audio varied too much on each camera for Davinci to accurately sync them.
Hi! That makes total sense, it seems to work best when you have a good sync point and your audio is fairly clean. I could see it being a problem at something like a concert or something with varied Audio. In that case maybe you need to use time code to sync if possible.
are you using davinci resolve or davinci resolve studio? i am asking as i do not get the same right click menus and i am using the free version (aka davinci resolve)
nvm...i was in the cut page...in edit page i get same menus...maybe you can add that info to your videos for total noobs like me ;-)
Glad you figured it out! Definitely check out which tab amen in the videos, sometimes I mention it sometimes I don’t. I pretty much never use the cut tab, I really just use the edit tab. Thanks for watching man!
Hi
Wot could be the reason my voice over audio file is not playing in edut page in resolve 17 ? I create voice over lectures
Please tell me how to rectify this issue?
Should I have to update resolve 17 to beta 8.0 version? Is that because of that?
Hi! There could be a lot different reasons you don't hear anything. Do you hear audio from anything else in resolve? Do you see the meters in the mixer moving? Are you're audio channels routed to the Bus 1 Main out? Here's a video with some tips you can try: ua-cam.com/video/k7ifrHGqTu8/v-deo.html Looks like you might have already seen it. 😜
@@JasonYadlovski only my background music and video is playing. I have inserted voice over in audio track 1 , then in audio track 2 I have placed my background music.
When i increase the speed of the voice over clip( using inspector ) , no audio is coming out from the voice over .
Just curious, why are you increasing the speed of the clip? Can you hear it if it's at normal speed?
@@JasonYadlovski yes I can hear well
I thought I would increase the speed little bit , so that I can match the length of the video
another great tip, thanks!
You’re welcome! 😁👍
Thank you! Nice and easy!
You’re welcome!
Based on time codes means?
Timecode is if you have all of your video synced to the same time. For example all footage/cameras start at 0:00 and every time the recording is stopped and started, they all have the same timecode on the footage. Does that make sense? Thanks for watching!
thank you man, so helpful :D
You’re welcome! 😁👍
Love IT Man! Thanks a lot!
You bet!
Hey, just starting on Davinci. In premiere I would sync my audio and video with clip markers. Syncing by waveform never works for me. Is there a similar functionality in davinci? I've imported my project from Premiere with all my clip markers in place, but now I need to sync them up. Could someone help?
There are a few other methods to sync the clips. They should be in that same menu when you try to sync. I'm not at my computer now, but I think you can use in/out points, timecode, waveforms and I think there's another that i'm not thinking of....🤔
@@JasonYadlovski it's just that it seems like such an easy thing to implement, prsmiere has had it for years. And it would make my life a lot easier in my transition
Awesome - thanks a lot for this!!
You’re welcome! I use this all the time, it’s a good one! Thanks for watching! 😁👍
@@JasonYadlovski It's been such a time saver !! Thanks again! :)
You’re welcome! 😁👍
Does this work with the free version?
Yes! It works with the free version. 😁👍
You only did one video clip and one audio clip. Does it work just as easily for multiple clips?
Yes, you can select one audio clip and multiple video clips. Works great, I do it all the time.
Will this also work to synch several edited, modified and short clips to the original audio timeline-and all at one go, do you happen to know?
Just to amplify (unintended humour), you have an audio track which you split it into several smaller and improved audio clips but which now have spaces between each small segment (perhaps because you are cleaning up background interruptions, etc). Can each of the smaller clips now be synched to the original (and hopefully at one go)?
This would be a help during editing particularly to remove out-takes. Another great video, J. Thanks.
Hi Les! Resolve only lets you sync 2 clips at a time so far, but it seems to be pretty smart about it. By that I mean it moves all of the synced items and clips don't become 'unsynced' by syncing new clips. For me anyway, it all seems to stay intact. So while it's a pain you can't select a bunch of clips and sync them all at once, you can do it will all of them, 2 clips at a time. Hope that helps answer your question! Thanks for watching!
@@JasonYadlovski Thanks for that, J, much appreciated.
mine said it cant aline the clips now what do I do, How do I do it manually because I turned on audio first to record then video is this why and how do I sinc them Im so dang frustrated, please help
Hi! To manually align clips, you've got a few options. 1 - just drop both clips in the timeline, drag them to to get them lined up fairly close, then use the period and comma keys with the clip selected to move the clip frame by frame until the audio matches. 2 - try this tip in the media page: ua-cam.com/video/o_YsfqEkaKQ/v-deo.html
