Sync Audio to Video in Resolve 18 Using Auto Sync or Manually
In this week’s episode, we demonstrate two ways to sync your separately recorded audio to video clips in DaVinci Resolve 18 for single and multicam video footage. The first method is auto sync based on sound — in this case, Resolve uses the audio recorded by the camera as a reference to sync up the audio from your separate audio recorder. If auto sync fails, and it will for some video formats in Resolve 18, we also demonstrate how to manually sync your audio clips to your video clips.
If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. Our latest courses cover Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini and an Intro to Izotope RX.
