Hello all,
I am ploughing through 80 hours of documentary footage shot on a 7D with literally no indication of which audio files match which video files. The audio from the camera is so poor that some of the waveforms are just blocks of sound.
I've just discovered Pluraleyes and am wondering when best to use it in the workflow.
Should I start the entire project by dragging all 80 hours into a sequence and telling Pluraleyes to do its thing?
Or should I edit first, so that Pluraleyes will only need to sync what is necessary? I ask this because there is literally no way for me to know which audio clips need to be assigned to which video files and I would have to create an 80 hour sequence to allow for all combinations of audio/video syncs. Does that make sense?
But if I edit first, is Pluraleyes smart enough to understand where I've split clips and re-ordered them and stuff? If it doesn't understand that then I suppose I'm stuck with piling every single audio and video file into a sequence...
Is there a limit to sequence length? I once tried to see how long a sequence I could create in Premiere Pro and got to about 24 hours and it wouldn't let me add any more.
