Sync sound to picture by reading lips.
Hocus Sync is a Premiere Pro panel that lines up separately recorded audio with video by watching the speaker's mouth. It works with no scratch audio, no slate and no matching timecode, and it sorts a folder of unlabelled clips into synced multicam sequences.
What it does
Syncs by lip movement
It compares how the mouth moves with how the sound moves, so it finds sync where waveform matching has nothing to work with.
Sorts the disaster folder
Point it at a bin of mixed cameras and recorders. It works out which clips belong together and builds synced multicam sequences.
You review first
Every result shows its offset in timecode and how sure it is. Nothing touches your timeline until you apply it, as one undoable step.
Stays on your Mac
Your footage, sound and projects are analysed on your own computer and never uploaded anywhere.
Fits your edit
Sync a timeline you already have, loose clips, or a whole bin, from a panel inside Premiere Pro.
Reads production formats
MXF, MOV, MP4 and multi-track WAV, with a warning up front for anything it can't read or will read slowly.
