You have overlapping coverage from two to four cameras, separate sound and recordings of different lengths. The editor needs to know which placements are supported before cutting, and the same sources may serve a later version.
How Stringout solves this
01
How do I align cameras that start and stop at different times?
Add the recordings to a project, including each camera restart as its own source. Stringout can group two to four overlapping angles and place separate sound against the picture using available timecode, slate and audio evidence. Each recording keeps its own start and end, so a short angle does not have to fill the continuous camera’s whole roll.
02
How can I spot uncertain sync before the NLE handoff?
Project files show Synced, Provisional or Needs review when they belong to a sync group. Provisional means a placement still lacks confirming evidence. Needs review means the evidence conflicts. Export preflight counts conflicting and unverified clips before handoff, so you can flag those sources instead of presenting every placement as settled.
03
Can I reuse the aligned sources for a later cut?
Yes. The camera and sound recordings remain indexed in the project for another pass. Auto-assemble or a connected assistant can propose selects from them. Check those selects against the recordings before using them.
The export is a synced stack with one angle per track. On Free, export it as EDL/ALE or OpenTimelineIO. With Stringout Pro, open it directly in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro. Build the multicam clip in your NLE if you want to switch angles there.
The result
Aligned sources the editor can revisit
The project keeps the indexed camera and sound recordings for another cut. The NLE gets a synced stack with one angle per track, and the editor builds the multicam clip and sets up the sound there.
