Find a shared event
Look for a clap, impact, movement, spoken word, flash, or other moment that is clearly visible or audible in every recording.
Precise synchronization
How to sync videos that started at different times
Give every clip its own anchor at the same action, sound, or visual cue instead of forcing all timelines to use the same timestamp.
Quick answer
Move each video to the same real-world moment, save that position as its Sync Point, preview the relationship, and enable Sync Lock. The app preserves the offset between clips, so linked play and seeking keep the matching moments together even when the recordings began minutes apart.
Step by step
Give every clip its own anchor at the same action, sound, or visual cue instead of forcing all timelines to use the same timestamp.
Position every timeline
Drag each timeline to that event. Use −1 Frame and +1 Frame for compatible videos when the first alignment is close but not exact.
Preview before saving
Play the selected clips together and watch whether the shared motion stays visually aligned.
Save and enable Sync Lock
Store the Sync Points and turn on linked playback and seeking so each video keeps its own calculated offset.
Make it work better
Small choices make a clearer workspace.
Choose a sharp anchor
A sudden contact or sound is easier to match than a long, gradual movement.
Inspect at slow speed
Slow playback and millisecond time help reveal small drift or a one-frame mismatch.
Save checkpoints
Mark important comparison moments so every video can return to its corresponding point quickly.
