Filmora: The Top Tool for Perfectly Syncing Audio and Video

Many YouTubers and video creators record their videos and sound separately. They use cameras like DSLRs for video and special microphones to produce better sound. This is because most cameras don’t have good microphones. After recording, they have to match the sound with the video, which can be tricky.But don’t worry; there are ways to do this easily! In this guide, we will show you how to sync or match audio to video using Wondershare Filmora. We’ll explain how to do it both automatically and manually so you can choose the method that works best for you.

Part 1: How To Manually Sync Audio With Video Using Filmora

Wondershare Filmora is a popular video editor that helps video creators make their videos look
amazing. This awesome software from Wondershare has many tools that can make any video
better. It also has a big collection of video effects, images, short clips, AI avatars, and more. You just pick what you like and add it to your video with one click. You can also change the sound in your videos with cool features like audio ducking, silent detection, audio mixing, and sync video and audio. You can sync the sound with the video manually or automatically. We’re going to explain both ways step by step so you can learn how to synchronize sound with video perfectly. Let’s start by showing you how to do it manually!

Step 1: Download & Install

If you don’t have the latest version of Filmora yet, click the button below to download it for free.
Once it’s downloaded, you can install it on your device right away.

Step 2: Import Your Files

Next, you need to bring your files into Filmora. Open the audio synchronizer Filmora and click
on the “New Project” button.

When the new project opens, you’ll see an “Import Media” section. Click on it to find your audio
and video files on your computer. You can also drag and drop your files into this section to
import them.

Step 3: Prepare Your Files

Now, it’s time to get your files ready for syncing. Drag the video file from the “Import Media”
section down to the timeline at the bottom. Then, drag the audio file and place it below the video
file on the timeline.

Step 4: Sync the Audio & Video Files Using the Audio Spike

With both the video and audio files on the timeline, find the moment when you clapped your
hands. Look at the waveforms (the squiggly lines) from both the camera’s audio and the
separate audio track. You’ll see a spike (a big jump) in the lines where the clap happened.

Bonus Tip: If you can’t find the spike, zoom in on the timeline to make it easier.
Now, take the separate audio clip and move it so that the spikes from both tracks match up.

Step 5: Remove the Camera’s Audio

To take out the camera’s audio, right-click on the video file and choose “Detach Audio.” You can
also use the shortcut “Ctrl+Alt+D.”
Once the audio is separated, you can delete it. Right-click on the audio track and select
“Delete.”

Step 6: Enjoy Your Video with the New Audio Track

And that’s it! Your video is now synced with the high-quality audio file. You can hit the Export
button to save your edited video. But wait! We promised to show you how to automatically
sync audio with video. Let’s dive into that method next.

Part 2: How To Automatically Sync Audio With Video Using Filmora

Did the last method seem a bit tricky? Don’t worry! Audio synchronization software
Wondershare Filmora can also automatically sync audio and video with just one click. Here’s
how you can do it:

Step 1: Prepare Your Files

This method starts just like the last one. You need to download Filmora and import your audio
and video files into a new project. Place them on the timeline.

Step 2: Select Both Audio & Video Files

Once your files are on the timeline, click to select both the audio and video files.

Step 3: Click on the Auto Synchronization Icon

After selecting the files, you’ll notice an “Auto Synchronization” icon appear on the toolbar under
the Import Media section. Click on this icon for audio and video synchronization, and let the
magic happen!

feature.

Step 4: Wait for the Syncing to Finish

Filmora will start syncing your files, and you’ll see a “Synchronization in process” message on
the screen. Just wait a little while until it’s done.

Step 5: Finish Your Editing

Once the audio file is perfectly synced with the video, you can delete the camera’s original audio
and hit the “Export” button to save your project.
