No freeware comes close. Perhaps lightworks, but the free version of it is limited, and it's not really that easy to use
What is your required task? Is it just lining up and syncing up another audio track ? Was it taken during the same time ? How long is the recording? -
Since the latest version of Adobe Premiere can sync automatically and has full editing functions, sophistcles answer is an understatement. Really, nothing.Originally Posted by sophisticles

Of course it's not as good as Premiere. But it's probably as good as he's going to get for free.Originally Posted by poisondeathray

Anybody tried Kdenlive in Linux? Just wondering how it fits into the scheme of things...

My need is to sync and replace the audio yes then add the chosen scenes one after the other with funky transition in between. Add some txt on screen , generic .
the audio was taken at the exact sametime I was filming with hand clapping to begin takes
is adobe so complex i would have a hard time to learn it?
would aviult be easier to learn waht about Lightworks . anyones has tried both ? what are the pros and cons?
can some one confirm if Lightworks ca auto sync audio for replacement?

You don't have to learn everything in order to start. That being said, automatic syncing requires you to know your way around the project window and how Premiere manages linked clips. There are decent tutorials on Adobe's website.Originally Posted by videohelplover
Manually syncing is easier, if somewhat more tedious, and it's a good skill to have if you need to "correct" any auto syncing errors.
If you are going to manually sync, I would push you towards Vegas Movie Studio as being less expensive and (in my opinion) a bit easier to learn. -
Shotcut seems to be improving greatly.

I've tried many N.L.E.'s in Linux including Kdenlive. It's OK, but certainly not the best. Here is my opinion of NLE options under linux:Originally Posted by davexnet
1) LightWorks
2) ShortCut
3) ShotCut
4) Kdenlive
As for the OP, any free NLE can do what he wants. I wouldn't recommend Aviutl because I doubt he has what it takes. You may as well recommend blender or Avisynth to him and get the same results. He is better off with an NLE designed for newbies like WMM, Nero, ShotCut, etc, ect.............Got my retirement plans all set. Looks like I only have to work another 5 years after I die........ -
ok i have and idea
maybe i could use a freeware to replace the audio tracks and then edit with windows movie maker.... good idea?
1what freeware would work on a x32 and x64 seven ultimate that could put my audio track in my video (replace his audio track)
2by the way what exactly means autosync,,, does it mean that it replace the audio track from the vid with the one of better quality by it self? -
Granted, it is an older version, but Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 has been freeware for quite some time...
-
If you're going that route, you can sync everything up automatically within the free trial period of PluralEyes (as I suggested in your other thread.) One option is to create new clips with the good sound attached.Originally Posted by videohelplover
And you can almost certainly do the syncing manually on a clip by clip basis within wmm.Last edited by smrpix; 7th Mar 2015 at 07:59.

I noted the free trial plural eye . are there any all the time freeware that allow auto synck audio?

That's not true. Aviutl has auto sync for audio and it is free, however it would be way overkill for this simple project.Originally Posted by smrpix
No.Originally Posted by videohelplover

I stand corrected and continue to be impressed by AviUtl's functionality. How do you access this function?Originally Posted by racer-x

It's included in the latest version, I assume it's for helping edit variable framrate video formats.

I haven't tried the new version of aviutl yet, but I think auto sync for aviutl is completely different than what something like plural eyes or premiere can do. eg. avitutl doesn't scan the audio data from multiple cliips and automatically align clips according to matching audio
-
That's what it looks like to me too. I retract my previous humility. Nonetheless, very powerful software at an amazing price.Originally Posted by poisondeathray

No I don't think so either. It does lock the audio track to the video, so when you remap the video speed, the audio follows along with it. I generally disable it anyway.Originally Posted by poisondeathray
I never used plural eyes. I haven't used Premiere in many years, so I have no idea what that is used for. I'm quite certain I have no need for it however.Got my retirement plans all set. Looks like I only have to work another 5 years after I die........ -
@racer-x, PluralEyes is used when you have separate audio and video recordings, say two cameras and an external audio recorder. It automatically compares the audio tracks on each source and aligns them for editing. If you have a lot of source footage (think reality show) it's a huge time saver. The current version of Premiere has this function built in as well. To my knowledge nothing else does at this time. (Given the functionality of AviUtl, I was quite prepared to believe they had gotten there.)
-
Sure I can see where it's a time saver. However syncing in 2~3 cameras isn't all that hard if they roll continuously. You should then only need to do it once. To each their own, I have no use for it.

Agreed. But when you get into shit like this it really gets handy:Originally Posted by racer-x

Can't Avidemux replace the audio track with a new one?
-
It should be able to, on a clip-by-clip basis if you know each offset.Originally Posted by gastrof
