[@JavierMercedes]

Again, just a sincere thank you to those who watch my videos, I appreciate ya! Follow me on IG to see BTS of how I make these vids and more: @JavierMercedesX

[@feliponesmendes]

Man, you're going the same original road that FortNine did. Know his channel? I'm not just watching a tutorial, but having a highly informative audio-visual experience. Seriously, your vídeos are above average, they are awsome!

[@peterbyrne4770]

Actually the best video I’ve seen on KZbin in a long time. The production. The quality. The information. Inspirational.

[@hurryupharriet]

I only use Premiere Pro occasionally, and usually find ALL demo youtube videos far too longwinded with unnecessary intros from the presenter. Your clips are fantastic. So simple, quick and easy to follow with the fastest solutions, rather than technical detail. Thanks so much. I plan to watch the general tips one for my evening's entertainment viewing!

Not only have you taught us all how to sync audio - you've absolutely SCHOOLED us on how to create a whole-ass, compelling and practical how-to video as well. I stand up and applaud you. 16 minutes of amazing.

[@mrproboi]

my guy literally gave me everything I needed to hear in the first 25 seconds of the video. No intro, no shout outs, no plugs, no sponsors. Just BAM exactly what the title says. THANK YOUUUUU

[@JavierMercedes]

Thank you!

[@zactivitiesonly]

in the last 10 years of my video production journey, this has become what i would say is one of the most valuable youtube tutorials ive ever discovered

[@JeremiahDaws]

Same.

[@ATMTech]

Only half way through but this is easily one of the most well written, engaging, entertaining, creative tutorials I have ever watched👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@JavierMercedes]

Thank you!

[@PalokSingh]

Agreed!

[@JurajPadych]

I paused video, subscribed, and came here to say thank YOU!

Imagine how smart the world would be if all teachers were like this

They could be if we hired them!

"this is a clip in adobe premiere pro, you can sync it using a clip in adobe premiere pro."

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Here’s the thing. I knew pretty much all of this but I still watched the whole thing because it’s a fantastic video! Incredibly fun and comprehensive. This is THE video about syncing audio. Well done, Javier!

[@JavierMercedes]

Thank you! And thanks for the Patreon support!!! So cool.

[@krishnagautam2398]

5:55 i catch your audio sync mistake. But you're a really great teacher❤

[@AlexMichl]

THIS IS THE BEST TUTORIAL I'VE SEEN ON KZbin. Hands down.

[@damirurazbekov3792]

DAAAAMN! THESE TUTORIALS ARE MASTERPIECE!!!!!!

[@JavierMercedes]

Thank you Damir!

holy shit. the HOURS of manual sound syncing Ive done over the years 😮🤯my guy you've just literally changed my editing career for the better dramatically. Instant subscription!

[@Zdravko100]

@Javier Mercedes, you are going places on KZbin, mate! Mark my words, but your channel will explode soon. Great content! Thank you!

[@sehkhyro]

oh my god im like 30 seconds in and this is my favorite video ever. i almost cried tears of happiness when you started the tutorial right away and didn't wast 5 min just rambling. bless you javier. you're the best

[@tedmochen3730]

The entertainment value in this tutorial is INSANE. Even as someone who almost never comments on YT, I was compelled to leave a message here so the algorithm bless it more.

[@JavierMercedes]

Thank you Ted!

[@kieranhardcastle]

You're a god. This video is worth millions for how informative, thorough and engaging it is.

[@PalokSingh]

Such a good job at explaining syncing in premiere. Watched 10 popular videos before this but none covered so many aspects. I was specifically looking for multiple Multi-Cam sequences to open in timeline as individual layers and man, here it was. A simple button no one mentioned to turn on or off. Tells how teaching well is not everyone's cup of tea.

[@65Drums]

I keep thinking I've finally figured out all the Premier Pro tricks. But you keep showing me new stuff that improves my life! Thank you!

[@fearfulcat]

This video is my all time favorite description of how to sync audio in premiere. Love, love, love your techniques.

[@kevindiossi]

The first 30 seconds of this video changed my life. Thank you!!

[@ruttintheforest]

Watching like 6 different tutorials and they all talk, and talk, and talk, for like the first 5 minutes of their video before ever getting to the point. Javier showed me exactly what I was looking for in the first 40 seconds of the video. Like and subscribe because he is THE content creator for Premiere Pro! Thank you Javier!

[@KitchenCraftFood]

This video is a treasure. Please don't ever delete it!

[@jimmnoahh2200]

At 36 seconds into the video, I had to pause it because I was speechless and needed a few seconds to process what I just saw. Six months ago, it took me two weeks to sort and edit a 10-hour event video from three different cameras, just to make few short clips and event highlights. I really wish I had found your channel sooner, but as they say, better late than never! 🔥

[@JavierMercedes]

Hey thanks Jim and hope the info helps saves time in the future.

[@KellyAskam_MindExchangeMusic]

This is a really really really great tutorial! Thank you so much! I'm a production sound mixer who also does supervising sound editing, dialogue editing and 5.1 re-recording mixing for film. I can't tell you how many times I've had to explain to indie film editors how to do this process (to the best of my non-video-editing knowledge) because it makes a huge difference how smooth exporting the AAF is for use in Pro Tools. I believe the multi-cam workflow is the only way to preserve more of the iXML metadata that we enter in while on set (scene, shot, take, and channels names as well as notes, etc). For what it's worth, when you're talking about a "stereo" audio file that contains 2 different mics/sources it's not technically a stereo file, it's a polywav, which can have upwards of 32 channels. When working with music folks definitely want to retain the "stereo" file onto a "stereo/2 channel" audio track, but when splitting the isolated mics it's a little less confusing if we say polywav. The idea of changing the stereo/2 channel audio track to have "dual mono" (2 left or 2 right files) is kinda funny because it's just redundant and kind of deceivin how those mono mics are meant for mono tracks. Thank you, again, so much for this. I will now be sharing this to all Premier editors I encounter. Davinci Resolve has been much more reliable for AAFs with its Pro Tools preset, but that's another topic. Cheers!!

[@VivalenASMR]

You are just from another world, thank you so much for this gold knowledge and I really loved the way you edited this video, just amazing.

[@JavierMercedes]

Thank you Vivalen!

[@isaaccarlton]

Dude! This is insane.

[@carlobortoli]

I've been a video editor for over 10 years, using Adobe Premiere, and I still learned a few things from your videos (especially this one). Thanks a lot. :)

[@stevehargis4701]

I've been in the biz for 37 years. Because of your energy and style PLUS a healthy dose of pure creativity I'm watching an average of 5 of your videos per week and sharing with my staff. Thanks Javier for putting the effort into creating amazing work. So, so valuable on many levels.

[@JavierMercedes]

Thanks for the comment Steve! Much appreciated!

Javier, I'm far from a smoke blower but with this lesson I consider you one of the very best teachers on KZbin. So well explained. I have been studying for many years full time and have many teachers I am grateful to. I told you once in a post before I was not so impressed when you first came on the scene. LOL. Now I spend more time with you then my Girl Friend. Keep up the great work.

I have been struggling with fine tuning the sync from years. Thanks for this video! Problem is solved now.

[@leapnlarry]

I have watched hundreds of pp tutorials and this one was packed with stuff i will actually use. I thought I was a master of audio sync but now i actually am. using multi sync to sync multiple video and audio tracks is mind blowing as the time saver vs syncing each take individually, I cant wait to use this on my next video where i use a lav mic on a separate audio recorder. Also turning off the insert-over right when dropping the multicam, I had no idea you could do that, sometimes i just want all of the tracks. I am going to watch this video several times, write notes and make it part of my new workflow for syncing videos with zillions of takes and multiple audio tracks. Thank dude. Larry
