Video and audio recorded at different times and not overall synchronizable... only "batches". Is there any more or less automatic program to accomplish "matching" them as best as possible?
I think the built-in sync tools are amazing, when they work. When they don't, you have to start relying on your ears and markers. Drop a marker on one file when you hear a recognizable sound or sequence, then try to find it in the other file and mark it there. Hopefully you can at least find a couple "landmark" audio pieces that are easy to identify, mark, and then visually line up.
Thanks for the replies. In my situation, the audio alone and video-audio are recorded at different times, even at different places. The reason for this is that the narrator is much more spontaneous when he is just recording speech than when the is being video taped.. I am thinking that they must do this in professional situations and have developed some relatively efficient system.
It's certainly possible to do it "manually;" I did a test of about 20 seconds and it came out well. Maybe one improves with practice.
I'm not sure what your situation is. If you have a group of video files and a group of audio files, each pair essentially it's own "thing" ... then you could have them all in a bin, select all/right-click "Make multicam ... " and it will make a different multicam-sequence for each clip/audio pairing it finds.
This would work if you have recorded a series of things, each with camera video/audio and a separate audio also.
You can then flatten ... and essentially have a simple clip with audio to edit.
