It might sound a slow process, but with practice, it can be done fast. The workflow extracts the data from Pluraleyes XML, deletes duplicated timecodes (you can’t have markers with the same timecode), and creates sync markers (the markers names will be same as the video and audio files) for the video and audio clips to be placed to the prefer timeline tracks at the correct sync timecode. footage in spanned files, different framerates or you don’t like how EDIUS splits the stereo tracks into separate left and right tracks when importing from an XML or AAF project, you could try my workflow using sync markers, (my converter creates milliseconds markers for accurate conversion and is suitable for all framerates) SEE BELOW If you are having trouble with importing the XML sync sequence, e.g. Also, it would be a better workflow if EDIUS or GV Browser could export a compatible XML for Pluraleyes to sync. I’m very frustrated that EDIUS still splits the stereo tracks into separate left and right tracks when importing by XML or AAF (Final Cut 7 and Avid MC splits the stereo tracks). Also, FCP 7 XML and AAF projects containing mixed or mismatch frame rate footage, can not be imported into an EDIUS timeline. The frame rate and timecode data of the first track are used to start the frame number count and position.ĮDIUS doesn’t import mixed or mismatch frame rate projects, including its own project format. Using frames rather than timecode allows Pluraleyes to sync clips of mixed framerates . Pluraleyes sync XML file doesn’t contain a list of timeline timecodes but instead uses frame numbers to determine where a clip position should be on a timeline. You can join spanned files from other AVCHD cameras but only Sony footage can be viewed in Catalyst Browse.
PLURALEYES 4 PREMIERE SLOW FREE
A solution is to use the free program Sony Catalyst Browse which can import/copy spanned files to create one complete joined up clip without transcoding.

Luckily EDIUS knows they are spanned files and you can extend the clip to its full length on the timeline. Although there’s an error message the files will now import into the bin with the sync sequence, but again the spanned files don’t appear joined up. Pluraleyes 4.1 creates a new type of XML file to be more compatible with EDIUS but I still get an error message when importing some video formats that use spanned files (EDIUS is selected at Pluraleyes export and the frame rate is matching the EDIUS project). I did find EDIUS could import the XML file from Pluraleyes 3 if the video clips are not spanned files (found on memory cards). Unfortunately, these XML files can’t be imported into Pluraleyes which is a pity but you can drag and drop video/audio files from the GV Browser to Pluraleyes. The new GV Browser creates an XML file to import the Browser’s catalogs into EDIUS bins. When you look at the bugs fixed over Pluraleyes updates, you will see lots of XML compatible problems fixed.
PLURALEYES 4 PREMIERE SLOW PRO
Final Cut Pro has tried to make an interchangeable format see here XML files are human-readable but unfortunately, it’s markup tags doesn’t always follow an interchangeable format, making the file incompatible with other programs. XML files are normally associated with a program or website settings/data. At present, it’s still the most reliable way of reading and writing the editing program’s timeline rather than importing and exporting an XML file into the standalone program. The extension creates a temporary type of XML file only Pluraleyes understands and when Pluraleyes is finished processing another temporary XML file is created for the extension to make a new sync EDIUS timeline. Version 2 had an extension plug-in that communicated between EDIUS timeline and Pluraleyes. The core of Pluraleyes program seems to only read and write XML files. But at present (July 2016) they have not reintroduced a Pluraleyes extension plug-in for EDIUS 8 similar to the old version 2 that worked with EDIUS 6.5 (back then Pluraleyes was owned by Singular). Red Giant have a Pluraleyes extension for Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere which works better than using the standalone program (explain later). It was always a hit and miss importing a Premiere’s XML project file into EDIUS, especially when the video clips are spread over spanned files (found on memory cards). On July 2016 Red Giant release Pluraleyes 4.1 which supposedly now supports EDIUS but no longer supports Avid’s AAF project files.
