The frame rate and timecode data of theВ first track are used to start the frame number count and position.Д®DIUS doesnвЂ™t import mixed or mismatch frame rate projects, including its own project format. Using frames rather than timecode allowsВ Pluraleyes to sync clips of mixed frameratesВ . Pluraleyes sync XML file doesnвЂ™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 inВ Catalyst Browse.

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 thereвЂ™s an error message the files will now import into the bin with the sync sequence, but again the spanned files donвЂ™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 canвЂ™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 BrowserвЂ™s catalogs into EDIUS bins. When you look at the bugs fixed over Pluraleyes updates, you will see lots of XML compatible problems fixed.

Final Cut Pro has tried to make an interchangeable format see here XML files are human-readable but unfortunately, itвЂ™s markup tags doesnвЂ™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, itвЂ™s still the most reliable way of reading and writing the editing programвЂ™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 PremiereвЂ™s XML project file into EDIUS, especially when the video clips are spread over spanned files (found on memory cards). Project is even more different from export.On July 2016 Red Giant release Pluraleyes 4.1 which supposedly now supports EDIUS but no longer supports AvidвЂ™s AAF project files. My source files are not corrupt, timeline plays correctly after corrections, export is different from timeline. In the project after the export, some clips were completely striped (diagnol lines) out, and I could do nothing but delete it and find the same part in the clip to replace it. The physical cuts were mostly there, but some had different sections of video and audio in them from the same interview (similar to PluralEyes' lackluster attempt to sync in the beginning). Not by a little, by a ton, it was like Premiere took my cuts, and just moved the time of where my particular clip/audio was.

When I exported my master sequence, which was 10 sequences all laid out, the clips (in their individual sequences) became un-synced.

I'm not sure if this is important or not.

When I did sync it, I only let it line the clip/audio up, I did not have it make new files. I had to trim clips to have similar match points then it would sync. It would try to sync the interview audio and video, but it would be way off. I did not sync all the interviews with PluralEyes, as it did some wonky things in the beginning. I have 9 interviews, all separated into their own sequences with Interview video, Zoom Audio, and B-Roll - they are between 40 and 90 seconds long. Have a pretty strange problem, but I'm hoping some collective experience will save me here.
