Before automated waveform syncing, multi-cam productions required expensive Genlock or Timecode hardware jammed into every camera. PluralEyes democratized multi-cam filmmaking, allowing DSLR shooters and indie crews to sync footage from cheap, mismatched consumer cameras perfectly. Forgiving of Mistakes on Set
Method A: Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence (The Project Panel Method) Plural Eyes 2.0 for Adobe Premiere
