OnTheSoundSideOfLife Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Hey folks, may seem like a stupid question, but is it possible to sync Video and Audio in Premiere via Metadata TC without using the dedicated Tentacle Software? The footage was shot on a Red Camera + Tentacle and a 744T, both synced. I don't have the video material, otherwise I would just test it myself. So far none of the youtube tutorials were helpful, but my guess is, that you have to use the "merge clips" function. Any help is appreciated.

Bouke Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 If the Tentacle was used to feed the TC input rather than the sound input it will be no problem. (Of course if framerates match, otherwise it's still possible but will require some serious cursing.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheSoundSideOfLife Posted May 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Yes, it was connected to the TC input. I'm just asking because I occasionaly work with people who never used TC in post production and I want to be able to tell them excaclty what they have to do in Premiere. So far from what I've seen/read it seems like you can only sync one clip at once with "merge clips" or use a (stupid) multi-camera workaround. It's not as easy as with Avid or Davinci, which is a bummer if you work with Premiere on Windows and don't have access to the Tentacle Software. It's almost useless that I provide TC for those people.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidm Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 There's a tutorial for auto confirming audio with timecode in Premiere Pro at the Ambient University website: http://ambient.de/en/university/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheSoundSideOfLife Posted May 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Thanks David! Thats perfect, short and straight to the point. Unfortunately it confirms, that you cannot batch sync all video and sound files at once.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouke Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 well, there is my LTC convert app that can do so, but that will be at file level (thus, creating new files. Depending on the source / preferences there does not have to be a video transcode.) How many clips are we talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
