Syncaila

Manual synchronization between multiple video clips and various audio samples is probably the most painstaking and most time-consuming of all the tasks any video editor or film producer is required to undertake from time to time.

There's really no getting away from this laborious job, even if you're using a full-featured and professional video editor. One of the few options for accelerating this tedious process might come in the form of an apparently simple utility called Syncaila.

Powered by a set of unique algorithms that aim to simulate the logic of a human video editor and packing support for multi-core processing and media caching, Syncaila is all about saving time by automating and speeding up the whole synchronization process.

It's capable of working with pretty complex projects with scores of tracks, recordings and other types of video footage. Before we go even further, it's important to note that this app only works with Final Cut Pro XML format. Some of the recommended interactions are with Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014, CC 2015, CC 2017, Final Cut Pro X, Sony Vegas, and Edius. You can find out more about possible compatibility issues here.

As advertised, the app offers a straightforward way of synchronization. Basically, you need to undergo an intuitive 3-step procedure, as follows: by using the buttons on the top toolbar, open the XML file exported from your preferred video editing app, click the Synchronize! button from the middle, and wait until the process is completed, and save the sequence accordingly to a destination of your choosing.

Of course, there are other adjacent functions as well. For instance, you can choose one of five modes which will determine the ratio between speed and overall quality (Max Speed, Speed Priority, Medium, Quality Priority, and Max Quality).

All things considered, it's relatively easy to comprehend just how useful an app like Syncaila could prove to be for any video editor or film producer out there. Of course, there's the slight possibility that Syncaila will not be able to perform the synchronization processes entirely, but that's fairly understandable, as we're sure you can imagine/know just how challenging and how complex the video and audio synchronization part really is.
