I found the link to this video in a BMD Forum but it seems like this deep level app functionality should be so much more accessible.

Great tutorial! Thanks for making these wonderful resources. Do you have a suggested workflow for synchronising clips when some of the clips don't (or can't) use Timecode, like clips from an old GoPro for action footage while the rest of the clips do use timecode? Can you do a stepped sync process, perhaps first doing the sync using Timecode for the majority of the clips, then using the synced clip plus the GoPro clips using Audio Waveform to complete the process?

Love your video style. Thanks for making these. May I ask where you got the little female thread-to-velcro adapters you have underneath each device? Mine didn't come with one of those.

Awesome video Chadwick! Very concise and informative. I have two tentacle sync E's for cameras and have been attaching them using velcro on the camera cage. I just noticed you have some sort of mounting hardware on the units shown in this video. What are you using to mount your Octopodes to your gear?

I'm mostly making videos in a blacksmith shop and currently record audio from a lav mic to either a camera via wireless or a separate recorder. I then use a shotgun mic on a second camera to capture the ambient shop sounds as I work. (the lav mic pics up too much heavy breathing) Is there a way to record audio from a wireless system or shotgun mic to the camera while using the Sync E?

@CreativeVideoTips

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, but on if your camera has 4 channels of inputs (my FX3 does, or any camera that has like 2 xls ports and a stereo mini etc.) The reason is the sync E uses 1 channel for timecode and one channel for scratch audio. The idea then for most 2 channel cameras is that you would then timecode sync those to an external recorder that also has a sync E and has both of your mics plugged into the external recorder.

Near the end of the video, after you have synced the dailies, you jump to the source tape to mark in/out points to append into the timeline. When I do this, the sync bin is using the old audio of the clip, not the newly synced audio. But once the clip is in the timeline, it uses the new audio. In the video here, I can't tell if yours is also doing this because you have the audio off. Is there a way in the sync bin to use the newly synced audio while selecting clips?

I eventually want to get an external recorder and some tentacle sync units so I can get better audio when I record live music events.

One of the best tutorials and still it is too overwhelming and difficult to remember each step.Davinci needs to make it better especially audio separation and stuff

Very nice, thank you for the video. My nerdy nature brought me to feed to the camera both the timecode as timecode signal and as audio signal at the same time. Once in Davinci, when changing the time code from metadata to the one from the audio track, I get always 2 frames out of sync. Any idea why?

Hi Chadwick, I have an audio related question. Is there a way to modify the left and right channel individually in an multi channel audio track for this workflow and using synced with timecode audio for cut page and multicam edting? one of my two channel recordings (for a day) had a 19ms delay for a digital mic but I used an analog mic with no delay? So now I get what sounds llike an echo as the two mics from the two channels are 19 milliseconds out of sync with each other in my multicannel wave audio file from my audio recorder? I gues I could make two coppies and take left from one and right from one and nudge them but I was hoping to fix it in a more clean way so I could use cut page sync bin workflow. Thank you for your channel and great videos.

Very good work man, thanks for info. Really appreciated it! Question: when Syncing a Multicam and and Cutting one take (such as interviews) .... then all is good. But how would you approach the same things for something like a music video, in which case you have 3cameras angle (A,B,C) but you are recording with a click track/music track and then if you do 4 takes you end up having 12video tracks that need to be synced (3camera angles per take) ...yet label them in a way that the director can refer to the individual videos as Take1-CamA, Take2-CamB and so forth. Sync Based on waveform does work well - but there is always that one video that will not and it's hard to figure out what's going on. kind of a loaded question. Thanks in advance!

Hi Rufus, this is a tough one. If I'm understanding correctly you have multiple sets of good audio. Because a Multicam only wants to use 1 audio source (angle), you will need to duplicate and manually stack up your multicams in a regular timeline so you can choose the correct audio angle to get all the good sound present. After this is done, you can proceed to flatten the Multicam on the audio, convert to linked group, unlink the group and edit as normal. Let me know if this makes sense. It sounds like you're mostly on the right track (no pun intended). I wish there was a clean way to take multiple audio sources and mux them virtually into a single clip so this wasn't the workflow. But I don't think there is without baking new files, which is a waste and time consuming.

Didn't see how the main audio got the timecode. Lots of cool techniques in there. Not sure why every wedding or event videographer isn't using the tentacle system?

@@CreativeVideoTips Thanks for the feedback. I saw the Deity's this morning, they look very cool and are a little less $ esp considering the Tentacle software is unnecessary for Resolve users. I do like how both boxes have a mic for the other channel for reference. I used to sell high end audio equipment so I know everything about timecode and sync references in post workflows but I never realized that camera TC generators didnt need to be interconnected. I guess if drift is 1 frame in 24hrs they dont need to see each other. It's different when you need subframe accuracy or digital audio sync. Waveform sync is working okay for me but sometimes I need to nudge things in subframes. I have a cheap ext mic on every main angle to make sure they get decent audio. But I'm looking for anything to make post faster and it was really magical to see how fast multicam was with LTC. It would also help with ordering all the subfiles from long recordings that go over the 4gb limits.

Chadwick, How do you update time code from audio for multiple audio files? I am using a Zoom H4n. I connected the tentacle sync to the ext. mic input and recorded the jam sync on a mic channel and then recorded audio on an xlr channel. It outputs multiple audio files. First Since the files are separate I would assume I need to merge them to a single left right track (composite track) but then I am not sure how to update time code. That field is not available for audio track. Any help would be appreciated.

👍👍👍 Exceptional thank you so much for this advanced multicam demonstration with DaVinci Resolve, but at this point, given your preparation on the subject, I want to ask you if there are any wireless timecode generators that can be connected to wi fi or bluetooth even to devices that do not have the jack socket such as latest generation smartphones

If you have a 3, or 6, you need to feed it a tentacle sync e too. This will convert in the device to metadata tc for the audio.

Hey dude I have a quick question for you. First, thank you for the videos. They are super helpful. Second, I followed this video to the letter and my Zoom F6 isn't syncing up with the video in DaVinci. All 3 camera angles sync up and I can see all of the timecode and metadata on the Zoom but it puts the Zoom's audio file before the sync'd up video after opening the multicam in the timeline. I know everything is set up right as the camera's are syncing but am I missing something on the Zoom or in Davinci?

Hi at the 8:28 segment you update the time code using the audio track, as the Tentacle puts the time code on the audio track when you go into the mic input. On the URSA 12k you get a TC in via a BNC connector. I used that instead of the xlr mic input because that is a weird adaptior (xlr male to 3.5mm male) The TC IN does not put a sync sound on the audio track, it looks like it just puts the TC numbers in the metadata. How do you update TC without the sync sound on the audio track? Thanks!

Hi Mark - this is such a good question and misconception with the Blackmagic cameras. With Blackmagic or any other camera that has a real timecode input - you do not need to do anything with updating timecode from audio track like demonstrated at 8:28. Your metadata tc should already be correct over your bnc connector.
