How can I sync two or more different videos of different people singing?

I was wondering if there might be an automatic way to sync two different people singing the same thing in the same tune on Adobe Premier Pro. I'm aware that identical recordings (syncing audio + video) has an automated feature, but this doesn't work when it's two different people. 

 

I'd imagine I'll probably just have to manually sync them and am being too optimistic. 

 

Many thanks indeed.

If possible, when recording, I would give a quick burst of the start of the  backing track before the vocals start and use this as the manual sync reference. This burst of music and be cut out once the tracks are in sync.

If they sing in the same tempo just drag all videos in the timeline, blow up the wave-form lines and roughly synch the clips by looking at the waveform.

Are you involved in the the process before the singing gets recorded?

Yes, that's what I was thinking of doing if theres no automated way to do it.

 

And yes, they have not recorded yet; I'll send them some sort of instruction sheet.

I assume they are just going to record what they sing, not what they are singing to. Maybe some kind of playback? Can you add something to that playback a few seconds before the song starts that you can easily synch to and tell them to record that?

Multicam will work. I am not in front of my computer so I cannot tell you how to do it.

I don't think multicam will work unless they're singing at the same tempo and even then I think you'd have to manually synch it up.  I'd suggest you put markers in your sources at the beginning of each verse or at specific words and then you can slide the clips around in the timeline to get it pretty close.

Thank you both. 

I will try multicam with some sample clips and let you know. 

Many thanks.
