Final Cut Pro X automatic audio sync problem- FAIL

I've used FCP for 6 years. I'm a huge fan and use 7 just about everyday. I was lucky enough to see it previewed. They said it would have automatic audio sync for DSLR's. Well, it just isn't nearly as sweet as they make it look. This is about as clear as you can get to sync wave forms. We even clapped and it didn't work. Pluraleyes can hopefully help redeem this program a little bit.

It works everytime for everyone else I know.  Literally 100% of the time.

@RealtyStudioHD 100% except for every for 5 of the 7 commenters here and the example video that you found. I'm not saying it doesn't work, I'm just saying pluraleyes did that exact situation no problem. I have had FCP-X sync audio, but I've seen it fail miserably. I'm not just editing talking heads. There you may be uses outside of what you use it for that might be too complicated for it. Something to consider since you said it works 100% of the time when it didn't in this example.

Mine is being stupid too. The sync feature is a gimmick. It will not work. I get an echo every time.

@shrimpinpat my bad my macbook pro wont play youtube sounds i hate when it does this shit

[shrimpinpat]

ya might make sense if you didnt fail at posting audio to your video

[barryh13]

Exact same issue here, not a very robust feature... works sometimes but not always. Pluraleyes works every time on the other hand.

YUP!

@ubaldesign Ditto for me, although with two cameras. :(

I tried it too with multiple video clips (all on chronological order, one camera, no overlap) on one audio clip, it just threw back at me a bunch of randomly overlapping clips.
