It looks like Singular Software isn’t sitting on its laurels when it comes to its popular audio synching software, PluralEyes. They’ve announced version 3.0, and with a new version comes faster synching speed, greater accuracy, a more informative interface, and less of a plug-in feel: More »

Trying to sort out the best way to handle audio on a microbudget DSLR shoot can be a real challenge. Ideally, you’d hire a professional audio operator with a high-end field mixer who would adjust microphone levels on the fly, and record all the audio to a hard drive. Unfortunately, for every one of those shoots I get, I have ten one-man-band shoots. If you’re in a similar situation, you may be interested in the DSLR audio system I’ve developed: More »
If you’re more confident in your ability to shoot with a DSLR and audio recorder than you are in dealing with the resulting clips in post, the good folks at NextWaveDV have put together an audio post-production tutorial. Here, they demonstrate a manual audio synching approach using Premiere Pro, as well as using the great, massive time-saving plugin Pluraleyes. As evidenced by the “HDSLR 101″ moniker, this is pretty basic stuff, but it should be valuable for those getting their feet under them. Here’s the tutorial: More »
Singular Software’s PluralEyes is the go-to plugin for editors who need to ingest footage from a dual-system shoot. When the audio was recorded on a separate recorder, and the recording medium lacks proper timecode (like, say, any HDSLR), PluralEyes analyzes the on-camera (low quality) audio and automatically syncs it to the audio recorder’s (high quality) files. Voilà! To date, this software has only been available as a NLE plugin on the Mac, because DualEyes — the same technology in a standalone software package — was only available on Windows. Now Singular has released DualEyes for Mac, which lets you sync your files and bring them into any NLE (Final Cut Express or iMovie, for example). It’s also discounted for a limited time (since expired): More »
Miracle-working automatic synchronization software Pluraleyes is the absolute best way to sync sound in any less-than-ideal situation (where you don’t have perfectly synched timecode — or any timecode at all, for that matter). If you’re shooting on an HDSLR and are recording audio to a separate device, this is a must-have. Now PluralEyes has finally come to the Mac version of Premiere Pro, and Singular Software is offering this version at a 20% discount until December 11 (since expired). More »
Since I’m currently building a Hackintosh with the express intent of switching from Final Cut Pro to Premiere Pro — and all systems are go, so far — it’s nice to know that Singular Software’s amazing sound-sync plug-in PluralEyes is now available for Premiere (it was previously restricted to Final Cut and Vegas). The plugin, which automagically syncs dual-system audio, is currently available with a 20% discount (since expired). However, there’s a caveat attached: More »
Daniel Plym shoots for the online entertainment mag Buzzine, and as a result he shoots a lot of red carpet interviews — on a DSLR. He’s responsible for both video and audio as a one man operation, and he manages to shoot dual-system without an audio guy. Here, he breaks down how he’s able to do this via the combination of a 5D Mark II, Sennheiser wireless mic, Zoom H4n, and the Pluraleyes plugin for Final Cut Pro. His tutorial is clear and concise — perfect if you’re not yet shooting dual-system but are thinking about doing so: More »
