For a one-hour interview with three camera angles, this meant hours of work. PluralEyes changed that by analyzing audio waveforms instead of relying on timecode.
In Premiere Pro, create a new bin labeled "Raw Sync." Import your video clips (with scratch audio) and your external WAV files from your Zoom, MixPre, or DR-40. Give them logical names (e.g., "CAM A_Shot 1," "Audio_Recorder_01").
Once your audio is synced, always turn on (the padlock icon on the left of your Premiere timeline). This prevents your audio tracks from sliding out of sync if you add or remove B-roll later.
Click File > Send to Premiere Pro . PluralEyes will close, and Premiere Pro will automatically generate a new sequence. Drag this sequence to your timeline. Your video is now perfectly locked to your external audio.
Navigate to the File menu in Premiere Pro. Select PluralEyes > Send to PluralEyes (depending on your plugin installation). This will open the standalone PluralEyes 2.0 application.
