This article is part of a series of posts with tips and tricks from our producers’ experience working with Adobe Premiere Pro CC after years of working in Final Cut Pro. To read more about why we made the switch, check out this post.

If you record interviews with more than one camera–and you should if you can–you’ll need to sync your footage before you begin to edit.

Premiere Pro CC provides a method to do this but only if every clip contains a sync marker such as a hand clap. In reality, clapping each time you stop and start your camera is not practical, especially during an interview.
