 Hi guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here. I want to do a video today just comparing and showing two different ways of syncing your audio and video and post-production using Caden live. Now, this is not sort of a masterclass or tutorial by any means. I'm just showing the ways I figure it out. There's a couple of other videos on YouTube with people showing how to do this. Now, what I might take on this or what I want to do maybe that I haven't seen in other videos is comparing two different methods of doing this. And those methods are going to be firstly manually syncing by literally lining up the waveforms between two microphones, the kind of reference microphone and the microphone you actually want to use. And the second way is going to be the intelligent way or the automated way which is using Caden live's feature that they added a few versions ago for doing this. And then I'm going to play a few seconds of the same clip, sync the two different ways just to compare and contrast. I don't think there'll be any different or noticeably different if it's done well. So just explain how I'm doing this test. If you will, the video that you're watching is being recorded with my camcorder, the Canon Vixia HFR800. Now, as I am recording this, I'm getting audio from the camcorder so I can see a little level meter, it's moving, it's capturing audio and it's capturing video. But the internal microphone on the Vixia HFR800 is not amazing. So what I'm doing, you may notice I have a lavalier microphone on, that's not going into the camcorder, that's actually going into my computer and I'm recording in audacity. So what we're going to do for this test is I'm going to, when I finish reading my piece, I'm going to export the video file from the camcorder. I'm going to put that into Caden live. I'm going to save this audio file in audacity from the USB lavalier microphone. And then we're going to try to match those two up. So we're going to have two audio tracks, the reference track from the microphone and the audio track we want to use. And all you really need to do, I mean, and this is just kind of a, this is a set of, I'm using, you could also do something like record with a Zoom H1N and the camcorder or whatever. I'm just doing this just the way I want to set up this test. So what I'm going to do now is read a little bit of text again from A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. And this will be our control. I'm going to read about 10 seconds of test and then we'll sync them in Caden live using these two methods to see if we notice any difference. And let me just get to the start. It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It was the age of wisdom. It was the age of foolishness. It was the epoch of belief. It was the epoch of incredulity. It was a season of light. It was a season of darkness. It was the spring of hope. It was the winter of despair. Okay, that's example is going to be what we're going to try to sync with. And let me stop the video now. I'm going to save the recording, offload the SD card and show how I'm going to match these guys up in Caden live. Okay, so now what I'm going to do is I've opened up Caden live and I will want to be moving in my files. So here's how I have arranged these. I have, this is me speaking into my camcorder. This is the lavalier capture that we got into the computer and these are just going to be used in the production of this video. So I'm just going to drag over these two files, the camcorder file and the Oresa de Lav capture file into Caden live firstly. And now you're going to drag them both into the timeline and I should be able to see two different waveforms. Now it's actually pretty easy already at this point. You can just kind of see they're almost in line. And it's actually very close. So what I can do is as follows, here's going to be the first methodology. I'm just going to literally move manually, manually, manually, manually. And this is really all there is to it. And just go into like maximum zoom. And this to me looks like they're that they're in sync. So what I'm going to do now is turn off this audio. I'm going to grab the point the part of the video in which I do the so this is the part that I start reading. So I'm going to firstly group all these together. I'm going to just cost here. This is a product. Okay, so this is basically the manual sync. And I'm going to just export this firstly. And then we're going to do the the automated sync methodology. Okay, so I've exported out the manually sync version. What I'm going to do now is do this process using the kind of tech that that Kaden live has baited. So the first thing that I want to do, I'm going to firstly amuse the microphone capture track. And I'm going to set this as the audio reference. Okay, so I'm going to firstly ungroup so everything's on its own. And I'm just selecting the audio from the camcorder. I'm going to go set audio reference like this. And in fact, I'm going to just move this way out so that it's nowhere even close. Set audio reference here. And then I'm going to right click on the audacity lab capture. And I'm going to do align audio to reference. It's going to take a second. And there we go. It's automatically and if we just inspect how that process has worked. To me, it looks pretty much the same. But what I'm going to do is the same is the same I did before. I'm going to now group the clips back. I'm going to turn off the microphone, the camcorder microphone capture. And I'm going to just export out the portion in which I read that little line there from a tale of two cities. And now I'm going to play them back to back. And hopefully, there should be no difference either way works. And both are very, very useful if you're looking to sync in Kaden live post production. The audio you're getting from a separate video source and an audio source, you just need to have for the automated method, you need to have a reference audio in any event it's helpful to have a reference audio. And then you can sync your second microphone in relation to that. Hope this video is useful. Thanks for watching. Feel free to subscribe for more videos on this YouTube channel.
