In the past I have used FCP with cameras that had their audio pre-synced (XL2, HMC-150). Now I've moved onto the 7d and things are a little different.
In Avid my workflow used subclips to create synced takes, but now that I'm in FCP I don't exactly know what to do to sync.
I've been using Pluraleyes, which is fantastic at syncing, but the post syncing workflow leaves a little to be desired. I've been using Philip Bloom's workflow (Sync with Pluraleyes, cut off the heads/tails, delete camera audio, create reference files for the synced clips). This isn't awful, but when you have 150-300 clips it can make it seem like Pluraleyes was doing very little work, by comparison.
Does anyone use a similar workflow on narrative film, and have they found a way to speed up the process?
