Before the editor starts cutting, they need picture synced to the sound rolls and a stringout that shows which takes were circled on set. Every clip in it should lead back to its camera original.
How Stringout solves this
01
Multicam and external audio sync
Stringout brings mixed camera media and separate sound from the drives they already occupy into one project. It aligns picture and sound when timecode or audio gives it enough evidence, and shows the pairing and its review status. Check uncertain matches before using them in the editor’s sequence.
02
Rich camera metadata including circle takes
Stringout reads circle takes from an ALE and shot marks from Panasonic P2 and Sony cameras, and keeps them marked on each clip. Run Auto-assemble to build a stringout. When it finds useful moments, it adds named selects to the Selects bin. Check those selects against the circle take and the full clip before they go to the editor.
03
Clips are ranges of original camera files
Review the stringout and check any clips marked Provisional or Needs review before handoff. On Free, export it as EDL/ALE or OpenTimelineIO. With Stringout Pro, open it directly in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro. The editor gets editable picture and production sound with the camera source’s identity preserved, ready for the first cut.
Some NLE handoffs use HEVC edit media while preserving the original source’s identity. Use the camera originals for finishing.
The result
Synced stringouts and selects ready for the editor
The editor opens a synced stringout where every clip is a range of its camera original and sound roll. Circle takes and your selects stay marked separately in the Stringout project, so the next pass starts from the same material.
