Sync Audio & Video

Sync videos and audio recordings by their sound: it tells you where each clip goes on the main video, to the hundredth of a second.

Sync clips by sound

GoPro, phone or Tascam: add 2–6 files of the same moment and I'll tell you where each one goes.

The first video you add is the main video
Nothing is uploaded, it all runs on this device
Syncs by soundengine, horn, clap
Reads the clock toofile time
Copy the timeEdits, VN, CapCut
Tip: clap once or honk while all cameras are recording — the sync lands to the frame.

How to sync audio and video automatically

Sync Audio & Video lines up several videos of the same moment, or a separate audio recording, by their sound: it tells you exactly where each clip goes on the main video (mm:ss.hh). No dragging waveforms by hand, nothing uploaded; it all runs in your browser.

How to use it

  1. Add the videos and audio recordings. The first video you add is the main video.
  2. Press Sync. Only the sound is read, so even 4K GoPro files are quick.
  3. Copy the time shown for each clip and place the clip there in your editor.

Where to put the number

Where it helps

How it works

Wind is different on every mic, but the engine, the road and a horn are heard by all of them. The tool looks at the timing of the sound rather than its loudness (GCC-PHAT), measures at 30 points of the recording and keeps the answer most of them agree on. It also measures the small speed difference between camera clocks and warns you on long clips. When it is not sure, it says "not found" instead of guessing.

Tip

Clap once or honk while all cameras are recording: the sync then lands to the frame in any conditions.

Frequently asked questions

Are my videos uploaded?

No. The files never leave your device; the sound is read and matched in the browser.

Does it work with GoPro chapters (GX01, GX02)?

Yes. Parts of the same recording are recognised by their names and joined into one camera.

How accurate is it?

In our tests almost every matching clip landed within one frame (16.7 ms at 60 fps), most within 1 ms.

What if a video has no sound?

A silent video cannot be synced by sound; the tool tells you so.

The sound of my single video is out of sync — does this fix it?

This tool syncs several recordings to each other; it does not fix a delay inside one file.

Is it free?

Yes, free and no sign-up.
