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.

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

HOLY CRAP THAT INTRO. The production value on this is so crazy high. It's a tutorial, you didn't have to put sweat and tears into this, but you did anyway. The video is entertaining on It's own. I am so impressed, MAD respect

Epic video. Editing masterclass.

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.

Thank you Ted!

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. :)

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!

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

[@JavierMercedes]

Thanks for the comment Steve! Much appreciated!

[@LucaDickson]

jesus christ this video is incredible, not just informative but so well edited, 5k views is legitimately ridiculous

[@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.

[@wildfiresoup]

Might be the single best tutorial I've ever watched on KZbin. And I have watched a lot of em. Great work!

[@JavierMercedes]

Thanks Sam!

[@darkochristopher5905]

Bro, you are the best unorthodox creator have seen. Your style and delivery is an art. Thank you for the impact and style of delivery.

Wow! This is hands down the best single premiere tutorial I have ever seen on KZbin (and I’ve seen quite a few). Material and presentation all turned up to 11. Bravo!

[@JavierMercedes]

Thank you!

[@justcallmemoses]

I hope you save my life, syning audio manually is a real pan for making my music videos

I'm new to video editing, but so far I'm convinced that this is THE BEST channel on this subject here. Thanks for the incredible detailed and delightful to watch content!

[@son.basement]

Please don't ever stop. Just discovered you today and this is the best tutorial I've ever watched on the internet.

[@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.

[@JustinandJess]

Every clip of this video is a masterclass! AMAZING work Javier... you are such an inspiration to our channel.

[@dominicrunnalls5304]

This is the single best tutorial i have ever seen. Absolutely demolishing most skill share and Udemy courses as well. Thanks for this content man, Instant subscriber

I've never subscribed to a channel after watching a single video but This video was so amazing I couldn't resist! Thank you for bringing such a creative way to an audio tutorial!

[@guilhermefdcv]

Javier, you just killed in this tutorial. Dam! What an awesome work. Probably your best work until now. Keep it up (if you can, cause this takes a lot of work, I know). Great job

[@wildekatz]

I'm not even finished with the video but I just HAD to comment. What a great and entertaining tutorial. I often lose interest when videos are "longer" on KZbin, but this is so good and funny, awesome editing! And informative content about syncing audio! Thanks a lot!

[@JavierMercedes]

Thank you Wildekatz!

[@BuddyBearCreator]

Wow Javier - this was an insane amount of work to make this video. I'll have to watch it a couple more times to "get it". Thanks again for all the effort and the coffee machine looks pretty pro.

Your editing is just next level. If only I could do 10% of the epic edits you make in your vids. Awesome tutorial Javier! :)

[@chriswonderart]

This is definitely one of the best tutorials I’ve watched on KZbin. It’s sooo good

[@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

[@SamirYasif1]

I've been using premiere for 6 years, still blown away with multicam toggle tricks you showed. I never know about it. Keep up the good work !

[@TheMuslimBr0ther]

I can 100% say this tutorial is the best premier pro I have watched on KZbin keep up the good work man

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.

As a filmmaker and fellow 'youtuber', I thought I knew how to tell a great story in an engaging and entertaining way. But you have absolutely taken it to a new level Javier. I learnt much more than multicam audio today, and I am truly grateful. Now...I have to restart this project as multicam and forget the last few hours of manual syncing.

[@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!!

[@tomasferreira-editor-director]

Your tutorials are always great in the info they deliver. Thank you for putting the time and the effort on them. One suggestion I would give (and this is personally), would be to make them just simpler in their presentation. Often times, I am distracted by the whole change of scenery, upbeat music and wild camera movements you do. I understand the intention behind them, of course, in keeping things exciting for the viewer as he receives all this information, but at least for me, all that makes it difficult to focus on the important stuff. I enjoy to just listen in to the explanation in a straightforward and minimal way and I've seen other people on youtube having a preference for that sort of style of tutorials. But to each its own. Just thought of mentioning it. Might help.
