Question

Audio sync after editing

I edited a short 7 minute movie in premiere and because I'm stupid instead of synchronizing and merging the boom and neck audio at the start of my editing process I came to the fine cut stage and now I need to synchronize all of my wav audio files to the cuts I've made in the movie and I made crazy montages with a lot of cuts. What would be the easiest way to do this in premiere pro? I tried making the audio files offline and then replacing them with the wav which I cut the exact in and out points of the video and that didn't work. I need them to be wav files corresponding with the cuts of the edited movie because at the end I'm sending this to my audio technician.

Could you explain a bit more where you will get the master audio from for someone watching this movie .

If you say your jump cuts have affected the sound - in what way ?

Its not clear how you want to produce the final movie.

Well I'm not a professional Video editor myself, but the immediate option that comes to mind is to use Multicam editing principles and using the audio to synchronise the clips at the right point on the timeline.

I've only done a couple of multicam project edits as a hobbyist but the 'synchronise by Audio' seems to work well. This assumes you have decent audio on all the clips and pick one as the master to synchronise to.

I also assume you didn't have a common timecode reference to use.

Multicam in Premiere : - https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/premiere-pro/using/create-multi-camera-source-sequence.html

I remember going on You Tube to learn basic principles and that got me started.

 

Maybe a pro editor might suggest another way...?

GIve it a try

The problem is the movie don't have a lot of continuous shots. Ive made a lot of intentional jump cuts, which also affects the sound. I don't know if ill be able to sync them with the auto sync in premiere
