Synchronization in Red Giant PluralEyes - timeline drifts apart during transfer/ after save

[DrGonzo55]

Hello

Happy New Year!

I tried synching up my files with Red Giant PluralEyes. WOnderful software that synchronizes the sound and the video waay better then Adobe Premiere or DaVinci Resolve or Magix Vegas.

Then PluralEyes offers to save the synched timeline into an .XML file. I try to play all the synched up tracks in PluralEyes and it sounds perfect.

Then I open this generated XML track with Premiere and I notice that the synchronization between two "wild sound" speech recorders is off, enough to give me a robot voice.

My interviewee sounds as clear as in PluralEyes.

Then I open the same generated .XML file from PluralEyes in DaVinci Resolve Studio - It plays as clean as it did inside the PluralEyes.

Are my settings off?

Why is this happening? Why is Premiere misaligning the timeline?

Is it a rounding error of some sort?

I also observed the same thing after I spent some time lining up all the pieces by hand: I save the project, I exit and then I come back and it is all a little bit off.

Just a tiny bit, enough to make my voice sound unpleasant and not youtube-worthy.

Why is this happening? Is this a bug or are my settings off?

Thank you.

I found the PluralEyes plug-in for Premiere Pro works better than the stand alone version.  Maybe try that.

What are the sources of your video clips?

Yes, I wonder the same thing, gerikp. The original files may need transcoding if they are Long GOP variable frame rate files.

Tascam DR-05, Tascam DR-07mkII and Pentax WG 3 camera for video.

PluralEyes solved the problem pretty much. Yet Premiere messes with the file for some reason and makes it asynch again.

DaVinci doesn't.

The raw recordings consist of two WAV files from two speech recorders and two MOV files from the same camera, that have a little time gap in between them because the camera recording was interrupted.
