Regarding syncing the hand-clap, if I understand you correctly, a high frame rate negates the need to exactly line up the audio in each video. Did you mention the frame rate you use? I appreciate your comments on my videos. I haven't done any in awhile and want to get back at it.

The frame rate of the HD videos my cameras are taking and the frame rate that I render to is essentially 30 frames per second (29.97, I believe). So each frame covers about 33 msec. It's rare that the synchronization is off by more than half of that. So getting the video lined up within about 16 msec is not too bad. Thanks, Glenn

Very nice video, Glenn and a clear and thoughtful explanation of a pretty complicated process. I would add as an aside that the newest version of Apples Final Cut Pro X has a multi-camera editing tool in it that makes the process simpler, but I am an old fan of Final Cut fan so I may be biased. I am astonished at the scope of your technical set-up, congratulations on that. The real revolution in production equipment—cameras, mikes, lights and editing software—has made what was once realm of the professional priesthood completely accessible to anyone who wants to take a little time to learn it (and spend some money as well). Obviously what you have described here could be applied to a multi-camera performance as well. Thanks for sharing this.
Rob

Thank you for your comments and insight! Apple has repeatedly done a good job over the years of making complex production work a little simpler. I am rather limited in my knowledge of Apple products because I have gravitated towards the PC since my work experience was all based on the PC. And over the years my work experience and my home experience on the PC have always made me a stronger computer user. This is certainly true with video, where over the last couple of years since my retirement from full time work, I have been working part time for my old company doing training videos to share my knowledge of 40 years of experience at that company. My YouTube hobby work has greatly added to my ability to make these training videos and vice versa. As I noted earlier in this thread, my method for doing these videos is just my method. There are almost an infinite number of approaches that could be used, some undoubtedly better than the methods I am using. I had comments in my video about this subject that I ended up having to edit out to meet the 15-minute time limit. I think the key for people is to see how someone they sort of know does this video business to give them confidence to take a stab at making a video themselves. Because it's at that point where a person really starts to learn, when we immerse ourselves and start to see the possibilities. Thanks again for watching and for commenting here. I have been very gratified to see how many people are showing an interest in this tutorial video. - Glenn

Hi Glenn
thanks for this great video (and by the way I find the sound you have really top!) Just one quick question. In adobe premiere pro you can use the multicamera editing: instead of synchronising on the clap, the software do it basically itself (simply by comparing the wave form of the different input). And then it's just a camera selection and it is super easy. I thought there was the same option in adobe premiere element (but it depends probably of the version) Di you check that? If eventually you have it in the software you should check maybe a quick video on it on youtube because that's a super cool tool Thanks again for this nice video

I finally carved out 15 minutes in my busy retired schedule (aka between naps to watch all of this ... it's answered some lingering "how do they DO that" questions I've had for a while. Very helpful though I'm sure I'll never get to your marvelous level of production. You've added a very helpful resource to AGF ... Cheers Glenn!

Thanks for your comments and feedback! I am not aware of anything in Adobe Premier Elements that allows any kind of automatic synchronization between audio channels, but there might be and I'm just not aware of it. There have been times when I have forgotten to do the handclap and then had a good take on the audio and video and decided to see if I could synch things up, in spite of my lapse. In those situations, I have always found some audio peak to line up on with good results. Once I video recorded a musical using my best camera and a separate audio recorder, my Tascam DR-44WL. I wasn't going to do any hand clap as that play started, which seemed kind of rude. Yet later I was able to synch the audio with the video fairly easily in my studio. So hand clap or no hand clap, a person can find a way to synch audio and video. Still, the hand clap makes things easy. You can synch without it, but it's just so easy this way. Thanks for your thoughts! - Glenn PS: I did some searching on the Internet and found that Adobe Premier Elements does not have any automatic or simple way to align video and separately recorded audio. Based on this, I still believe that some kind of fast transient sound, such as a hand clap, allows a very simple means of aligning separate audio and video tracks. My version of Premier Elements cost about $70; I think the latest version is about $90 now. Adobe Premier Pro costs about $240/year on a continuing subscription, so it's a considerably more expensive program. For the hobbyist, that additional cost may not be worth the difference between Elements and Pro. - Glenn
