Synchronization Tool

Change picture to: Normal Move Rear Camera 2 Seconds Forward

This tool can be reached from the Main screen, using the Synchronization Tool button.

Sychronization of multiple input files can be easily adjusted and previewed using this tool. Select the input file that you want to adjust from the tool's drop-down list, then adjust its synchronization with other input files in your project by changing its "Starting Position in Input File" time index. If you use the buttons or bar to make adjustments, the main preview window will be automatically updated. If you change the text box, press Enter to update the preview window.

"Offset Within Project" option - This is an advanced option that allows an input file to start playback deeper into the project, rather than at the very start of it. Set this to the time index within the current project where this input file will appear and start playing. By default, this is set to "00:00:00.00", which causes the input file's playback time to start running at the very beginning of the project, even if it is not being shown by a Display Object at that time. If you set this option to a later time in the project, the input will not appear or start playing until that time, which intentionally impacts synchronization with other input files.

If you simply want a Display Object to not appear until later in the project, without affecting input file synchronization, the timeline functionality can be used to do that.

If you want to join video or audio clips together sequentially, you should use the Join function on the Main screen.

Synchronization Tip

When synchronizing two videos, look for an event that both cameras captured, then adjust one or the other's timing so that the event occurs in the main preview window at the same moment for both videos.
