New Version of Audio/Video Synching Software Features a Faster Timeline-Based Interface
Red Giant has begun shipping PluralEyes 3 for Mac OS X, which the company says brings with it 20 times faster processing for preparing edit-ready footage. The new version was demonstrated during NAB and automates audio/video synchronization in mere seconds.
PluralEyes 3 for the Mac, the first standalone version of the product, combines elements from DualEyes to give the synching software support of a much broader selection of camera file formats, including DSLR. It also introduces a new timeline-based view. Following Red Giant's partnership with Singular Software, the development team integrated features from DualEyes to give users access to a more robust package in one version with a single, convenient serial number.
The company says that new visually-based tools, including a "Test & Tweak" feature with a Two-Up View and Snap to Sync, vastly accelerate the time it takes to lock down your sync and head into the edit.
New PluralEyes customers can buy PluralEyes 3 for the Mac for $199. Existing PluralEyes 2 and DualEyes owners can upgrade for only $79. There is no Windows version or support for Avid Media Composer yet, but the new package does bundle a copy of PluralEyes 2 and DualEyes, both of which run on Windows and support a wider range of NLEs. If you're on Windows and decide to upgrade now, you'll receive free updates when the Windows version and MC support become available.

Love it! Can’t believe you did it in a day. Really funny script. And the score sets it all off superbly. Can’t wait to see the movie. Can I work on it? Great “making of” too.
Question: Once you have footage synched in PluralEyes, how does that translate into something you can edit with? Do you get a project full of multiclips? Or a populated timeline?
