This is a real time saver, and seems to work with the sync bin too. If you place other cameras on top with video only, and lay the main camera down with audio, it uses the better audio file. Thanks!
I've followed you for 5 years now I think... Or at least 4. (not with this channel.. too lazy to switch/log out now). And there are 2 things I always wanted to say: 1) You are way better than Casey Neistat :D 2) Please, never stop making videos about Resolve!!! Cheers, Mike
You just SAVED MY LIFE!!!! You are now my HERO!! You are so funny. I love your sense of humor man! I have been editing music videos in the slowest hardest way possible... it would make you cringe. It makes me cringe. Davinci is so overwhelming to learn, but each time I watch your videos I learn more and more. I need to take the time and watch your crash course! Thanks for helping loads of peeps out there. ;)
Gotta agree. HEY! UA-cam! We watch tutorials WHILE WE WORK! We need to know stuff in a hurry! That’s for all you tubers in the back there! Great stuff Casey!

Well that trick is astonishingly amazing. Resolve just keeps revealing how much better it is and your channel keeps being very helpful. Thank you, Casey.
It's not just resolve that does this. Don't let your fanboyism tie yourself down to just one piece of software. Even though they can perform similar tasks, The best editors use multiple tools and know what each of their perks are strongest for certain certain functions.
I've only recently found your channel as I just started using Resolve 17 and this clip is a lifesaver. When we first started live-streaming, our pastor still recorded her message on a separate recorder. We didn't know what we were doing with the live sound and when we would switch scenes in OBS, our sound went from the camera mic to the laptop mic and back, making for some bad soundtracks. Being able to sync up the recorded audio track with the audio in the video track will allow me to go back and fix so much. Thanks for these tips.
I've been using this for this technique to sync production audio on film for a long time. It actually works really well even with multiple audio sources for one video clips. You can even do it manually on the media page on the clips that fail sync or clips where scratch audio doesn't work and you have to sync on the slate. It's actually a real asset because it gives you the ability to only worry about cutting the video where at the same time the audio tags along vs. where you have to worry about the audio on multiple tracks not being attached to the video and you've hot to think about 10 things when cutting.
can you mix syncing with time code with waveform? like a bunch of audio w/ embedded timecode and video with audio that has no time code but an output feed from an f3 that records embedded timecode?
When you sync multiple audio sources, how can you tell which one is which? All it says is 'linked clip' - how do I differentiate between my lav and shotgun without have to listen to figure it out? Please let me know if you can! I can't find an answer anywhere 😅
@@henri-julien unfortunately I haven't found a way to do that. The only way that I was able to keep things consistent was to always have the same tracks for the same stuff. Booms are always 1 and 2, Lavs are 3, 4 and onward.
@@vitalbutinar Ah, I see - in my case for some reason, the linked tracks are changing order depending on the clip. Sometimes its placing the lav as linked track 1 and boom as linked track 2, but for others it's the opposite. It's super frustrating. I have found though that if you go into the metadata for the audio you will be linking and name the tracks there before syncing, then when the audio tracks are embedded the name will appear. It's still out of order based on the clip, but at least I know what is what!
Man, you are the best teacher!!! Started playing around with Davinci and have seen other tutorials. Yours hands down is the BEST!!! Thank you so much!!!!
I have to say I was just looking for a way to sync in resolve and you just made my whole over ambitious film edit turn into a piece of cake!! Well not really but you saved me a ton of time, thank you.
holy crap , this f*king worked . Amazing . I was using external audio for my 1st ever project . Was super confused and messed up. This made the task super easy . thanks man . Subscribed .
@@encapsulatio I wanted to find a way to sync audio and video from different sources via a click of a button as mentioned in the vid. I assume it's a Paris-Version only feature :)
You, just overdid it again! Just like, «What kind of crazy software auto tracks like that» Hehe. You never said that, but hey, who asked for an easier way to sync audio? Well, no one! BUT, did you show us? Jupp! You just pulled off an Elon Musk, right now! Thanks, again! Great stuff!
Thank you so much ! I come from Premiere pro, and I'm a Davinci Resolve beginer, but I love this software, it it so amazing ! Thank you for your tutorials.
This is a great feature, I just always apend the audio because if it doesn't work right I have to re-import the clip to get the original back. After apending I select all the clips and go back into atrributes then select the audio I want. The orinal audio still stays with it if you need it again.
Casey... You are an excellent teacher with a great sense of humor! While I understand recording a voice over with a mic is the same as recording singing or live instruments I believe that for the sake of CLICKBAIT... if you would simply make a new video called "How to record vocals and guitar with Resolve" you would get a huge number of views from singer\songwriters like me who thought Fairlight might be too inferior compared to a regular DAW like pro tools or even cakewalk. While I suspect straight DAWs have their strengths ( maybe Fairlight will add midi someday unless it already has? ) you could at least touch base on the pros and cons between Fairlight and normal DAW's. Thanks again for your smart, fun videos!!!
Thanks for this tutorial! But what if it doesn't sync? is there another way to sync up audio? My mono track doesn't convert to stereo (playing out of only left speaker) no matter how many times and ways I edit clip attribute. Does that have anything to do with the syncing? thanks!
Wow! Amazing. Thank you. Will this work with my Zoom recorded audio/video sync issues? I use an external mic and webcam and there is always a 1-2 second on playback of the recordings. PS: Using Davinci Resolve 18 now.
I don't get this option in my situation. What if you need to sync video with other video? I have good audio on on my Blackmagic and I need to sync with another camera angle. I can throw it into plural eyes but I was hoping Davinci had something for this.
Casey never disappoints, just bought a usb mic, recorded an audio and was stuck with the syncing issue, first name came into my mind was Casey, and thank you man.....it was so easy..; I have a request if you can make a video on how we can minimize and maximize the double frame like they do in the news or when we watch a match, they show some ads frame in frame and they zoom in and zoom out.... if you do this, I will buy you a coffee whenever we meet ;)
So I complained last time that your example only used one clip and it’s great to see a multiple clip use case. I couldn’t her this to work fe entry, but maybe I just read that “unable to sync” sign and presumed it failed. I will give this another go.
AWESOME!!! Is it possible to sync with both timecode and waveform? I'm using a couple zoom f2s and have a stereo shotgun mic w/ the f3 with its output running to the camera, and the bluetooth timecode device. the f3 and f2 audio will have timecode. but the camera doesn't have timecode, but it has the feed from the f3. I like having a stereo scratch track, and rather not sacrifice a channel for ltc, nor do I want to buy another timecode device from the camera. Thanks!
This is all great, but… What if I need these tracks to be separate and have them show up in the timeline? As it is now, everything is hidden and non editable, right? What is the workflow steps in order to separate left and right channels into two individual mono tracks for the recorders wav files, also have the cameras embedded audio showing up, in order to control each separately, (not to mention visually have a cue when one person is about to speak) And get all these auto aligned based on waveform?How can this be achieved?
Haha! - that was so AWESOME! I've been consuming your content like crazy, I finally stop to work on a video and the audio is out 0:00:05 - I'm like, common! there's gotta be a quick way, wait I'll youtube it! THERE'S YOUR FACE SMILING IN THAT THUMBNAIL! Top search result! - hahahaha!
Thank goodness, just what I was looking for. Thank you!! I had all my clips organized into folders, and made bins of each of the folders. Is there a way to view all the clips simultaneously? I clicked sync audio by right clicking on the master folder, would this still work fine?
Casey! in need of your wisdom! around the 2:00 minute mark you mention that there could be files under the Auto Sync Failed warning failed warning that should have worked. have you found a workaround or fix? please advise.
after the message of failed attemp,, how do u know which clip has been linked with the correspondent audio? (without reading all the name of the files?)
Shot 20 MMA fights last night with 3 camera and the audio on a separate device, the thought of trying to sync it all up was making me sweat - hopefully this will save hours!! Thank you so much....
Hi, in Davinci. I’m not able to sync video and audio. When I select “auto align clips”, the options are grayed out and clickable. When I click “auto align clips”, nothing happens. My audio clip doesn’t sync with my video clip. What do I do?
Resolve does make syncing so fast and easy. Unfortunately, it only works if you have that scratch audio (or timecode of course.) I'm embarrassed to say but I just did a shoot...with my internal mics turned off. Face palm. To make matters even better, we didn't do a visual slate. Yes, I know better but I was b cam and I thought it was going to be a different kind of shoot (i.e. 1 long shot of a performance.) Fortunately the a cam had internal audio and a 2nd external which synced right up. So what I've been doing is syncing my external audio with the a cam a/v and appending tracks to include all 3 audio tracks. Then to sync my b video I'm scrubbing through the a and dropping a marker each time someone (it's a bunch of shots of a Christmas chorus) does something recognizable, i.e. a nose scratch, adjusting a hat. Then going back through b and finding a spot that matches action, dropping a marker, then bringing both clips onto a timeline and lining up markers. To get it exact I'm cropping and repositioning the a and b clips so they're side by side in the timeline viewer and nudging one track until they're in line. Then, of course, linking all tracks and dragging to a bin as a subclip. I don't really make UA-cam videos so it would be cool to see one or a series about fixing big mistakes like this. There are usually dozens of videos about how to do things when you don't mess up on set but the reality is that humans make mistakes and need help digging out.
did they remove the auto align feature from right click menu? I need to adjust audio less than a frame, and i thought you did a video on that but not finding it.

Can you do a video of syncing video from a music video and a whole bunch of clips to a music song
oh my gawd... Casey, I love you.
Is there a way to undo the "linked channel" and get back the original embedded channel, cuz sometimes seemed to go wrong in my case.

Fortunately the a cam had internal audio and a 2nd external which synced right up. So what I've been doing is syncing my external audio with the a cam a/v and appending tracks to include all 3 audio tracks. Then to sync my b video I'm scrubbing through the a and dropping a marker each time someone (it's a bunch of shots of a Christmas chorus) does something recognizable, i.e. a nose scratch, adjusting a hat. Then going back through b and finding a spot that matches action, dropping a marker, then bringing both clips onto a timeline and lining up markers. To get it exact I'm cropping and repositioning the a and b clips so they're side by side in the timeline viewer and nudging one track until they're in line. Then, of course, linking all tracks and dragging to a bin as a subclip.
I don't really make UA-cam videos so it would be cool to see one or a series about fixing big mistakes like this. There are usually dozens of videos about how to do things when you don't mess up on set but the reality is that humans make mistakes and need help digging out.
