Sync audio to video by waveform

Recorded sound separately (Zoom, Tascam, a lav, a phone) or with two cameras? Drop the camera file and the audio file: we match the waveforms and give you the exact offset and an aligned WAV to drop at 0:00. No clapper needed.

Questions

Does it need a clap or slate?

No. It matches the sound itself, so any shared sound works: speech, room noise, music. A clap just makes the match more certain.

How accurate is it?

Within a millisecond on clean overlapping audio, far finer than one video frame (33-42 ms). It also tells you when the match is weak.

Can it fix audio that drifts out of sync over a long take?

Not yet: it finds one offset. Long takes from devices with cheap clocks can drift a frame or two per hour.
