Multi-Cam Sync

Multicam sync tool
sync angles from scratch, no timecode needed

Sync multiple camera angles automatically using audio waveforms, clap detection, and visual analysis. EditAssist builds multicam sequences in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, and Final Cut without requiring timecode or slate metadata.

01

Workflow

Ingest all camera angles and the agent analyses audio waveforms to detect sync points, even when no clap or timecode is present. It can also use visual cues: flash detection, subject movement, and scene changes. For shoots with timecode, it reads SMPTE metadata directly from the camera files.

Once synced, it builds a multicam sequence with all angles on separate tracks, ready for editing. It flags audio drift, frame-rate mismatches, and missing coverage. You can ask 'create a multicam sequence from the three ISO cameras and the switchboard feed' and it handles the rest.

Features

Audio waveform sync

Matches audio waveforms across cameras to find precise sync points, even without timecode or slates.

Visual sync fallback

Uses flash detection, subject movement, and scene changes when audio is unreliable or missing.

Drift detection

Flags clips with audio drift or frame-rate mismatches before they cause problems in the edit.

Multicam sequence build

Creates properly structured multicam sequences in Resolve, Premiere Pro, and Final Cut with all angles ready.

04

Local-first

All transcription, vision analysis, semantic search, and clustering run on your own GPU. Nothing about your footage is uploaded. The only data that leaves is the text of your conversation with the agent. It's free to download, local models are free, and a new account starts with £15 of credit and no card. For long-running cloud work, pay as you go, or choose £20/mo Starter or £100/mo Pro.
