Between updating MacOS and updating Adobe, PluralEyes (formerly Red Giant, but acquired and killed by Maxon) has finally stopped working. It's end of life/"limited maintenance mode" has finally hammered the final nail in the coffin and there's no way for the program to be opened, much less be used with the Premiere integration feature.
My proposal is both simple/elegant and probably very difficult to implement: allow the current Synchronize feature to be fully upgraded:
- allowing multiple framerates (anywhere from low frame rates to high frame rates - 1-240 or even higher!)
- multiple clips (or takes) in a single track and
- multiple tracks (or angles) to synchronize using only audio waveforms (and even increasing gain of existing, scratch-audio level waveforms in the background, if necessary) to find commonalities and sync automagically.
The user would simply select clips, right-click and select Synchronize. The following prompt, not unlike how it currently works, would allow the user to select the master audio track to source primarily - its result would be quick and have any unmatched clips put to the end of the sequence.
This kind of hodge podge, mix-and-match solution existed in PluralEyes and did it quite well, and so I believe it could be accomplished again for those who do not have access to Timecode-based alternatives when filming with multiple cameras/bodies/etc. This saves both seasoned and new editors anywhere between minutes to hours (depending on the scope of a project) of any multicam project from manual syncing.
Does this exist? If so, teach a man to fish.
