Thanks for the post. I was looking for an alternative to pluraleyes. Price is important, but more important than price is functionality. I'm going to download the Demo version of this software and test it side by side with the plural eyes. After evaluation I will put the results here. Thank you!

What was your experience with this? I tried Pluraleyes on about 100 total files Red R3d and wav, less than half synchronised. Unfortunately Syncaila keeps giving an error while attempting to read the r3d files and at the end errors out "could not sync any clips". I have messaged the company.

I just used the trial version on an absolutel, all-over-the-place, stop & start, 5-camera shoot, and it put everything together beautifully. Looking at the end result, it would've taken me DAYS to do it manually, as nothing was slated, some of the cameras started earlier, some finished later, and a couple were turned on and off several times during the 3-hour show that was being shot. It might be a bit more steps than Pluraleyes, but it worked perfectly.

Glad it worked for you. FWIW I messaged Plualeyes support in the past, prompt response. I actually bought an upgrade to Pluraleyes 4 earlier this month when they had 30% off, got an email shortly afterwards that they had increased the sale to 50% and would refund me the difference, a nice surprise.

I have Syncalia, and use it the few times I have more clips than I can sync manually. It works fairly well, although it's not perfect. It's WAAAAY faster than the sync option in Vegas, which feel broken by comparison, and actually seems to be limited more by the speed of disk access than anything else. Once it reads over the files, the actual syncing process happens in about 2 or 3 seconds, and that's with over an hour of footage, multiple cameras, plus one or more audio recorders.

Just used Syncalia for a project, and thought I'd post some actual numbers for reference.

The project contains 14 hours, 6 minutes of media between 3 cameras and an audio recorder. All 50 files are stored on a regular SATA SSD, and processed on a dual-Xeon (E5-2670) system with 64GB DDR3 ECC RAM.

Total time to synchronize was 18.5 minutes. Only 75 seconds more than it took to scan the files. (Somehow, this project took much longer than usual after files were scanned.)

Stumbled across this software today. As I'm a one man run-n-gun shooter, I don't too often have need to synch clips. I'm usually working in the field, and worried someone will steal my 2nd camera, when I'm not looking. LOL Anyway, I wouldn't use Pluraleyes often enough to invest in it. But every once-in-a-while, I wish I did have a means to synch some clips, when I have the opportunity to set up a 2nd camera. Enter Syncaila. It's about 1/3 (or less) than Pluraleyes. https://syncaila.com/

And this gentleman did a very nice review of the software. Not a whitewash review, so it seems valid.

Now I'm looking for an excuse to try the software out. 30 day trial. And if you don't buy it, you can use it in a limited fashion forever.

Has anyone on here had occasion to try this out?

HHi there I just downloaded it. When it pops up it looks like there is a space for two clips and an audio clip. It has to be able to sync more than that right? My video has five cameras and an extra mixed down audio track which will be the main one.

That shouldn't be a problem should it?

Thanks

Hi,

Does the syncing correct for drift like in PluralEyes and not shut all unsynced clips to the end of the timeline? Thanks!

About a year ago HappyOtterscripts came out with a tool called AudioSyncR which would be another option. I have no personal experience with it. https://tools4vegas.com/home/

Does Syncalia have a dedicated community board somewhere? Or ... Are any of the fine folks here using it and understanding it? I just downloaded the trial and everything seems to work as it should. I exported the files put them into the program hit sync and exported the file. I opened that file in Vegas Pro 20 everything seems to line up however only my first video clip seems to be operative. There are three and a couple of audio files. I can slide the level back and forth and it goes dark but none of the other video tracks do that. The audio files work fine. Anybody? Thank you.

Is Syncalia compatible with current latest version of Vegas Pro 22? How do you import synchronization from Syncalia to Vegas Pro ? Is Syncalia worth interested in?

Indeed. I use the free limited version of Syncaila 2 to synch my Zoom F3 with the video scratch audio. Works perfectly in v22.

My workflow:

Import the video and extra audio track(s) into Vegas. Export XML, import to Syncaila, press synch, export, and re-import into Vegas. Done.

This is always the first thing I do, as importing an XML project is considered a new project.

Note that there is a small bug when re-importing to Vegas. At least for me. It pulls up the track volume, and lowers the media gain by an equivalent amount. It takes me an extra two seconds to zero both.

I have purchased Syncaila. It works great. It is quick and very accurate in my opinion. I found a few bugs with this software. I have posted them to Syncaila support team. I created also my own XML export from Vegas, because I noticed that Vegas built in XML export copies media (audio and video) files into root project folder, which takes much time if media files are big sizes. My own XML export does it much quicker and doesn't create unnecessary video and audio copy files.
