Drop in the whole shoot.

Every camera, phone and recorder at once, in as many folders as you like. Choose sound or timecode and press one button.

Key features of SyncLab.

An app for your Mac or PC, and a plugin inside each of the two editors. All three are on one license.

Sound or timecode

Pick how clips are placed. By sound, SyncLab listens to every file and lines them up. By timecode, each clip goes to the code its camera wrote.

Clear at a glance

When you sync by sound, every clip SyncLab matches by its sound turns green. A clip with nothing to match is placed by its clock and turns yellow, so you know which few to check.

Multiview

Every camera gets its own tile in one preview, fitted to the sequence's frame, so you can check the sync right away without building a multicam sequence.

Collapse the timeline

Squeeze out the gaps between takes. Clips that overlap move as one piece, so their sync can't change. In your editor it builds a second, collapsed timeline and leaves the original as it was.

Audio finer than a frame

Video is cut into frames, sound is not. Each audio file starts exactly where it belongs, between the frame lines, instead of snapping to the nearest one.

A backup before every sync

When you sync a timeline in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, SyncLab first saves a copy of it named “… before SyncLab”. You can always go back to the version you had.

Export for your editor

An XML for Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, ready the moment you click.

Messy files are fine

A file copied twice is recognized and skipped. A damaged file is set aside with a note on what's wrong, and everything else still syncs.

Any mix of devices

Cameras, phones, drones, webcams and recorders, each at its own frame rate, some with several audio tracks in one file. They all land on one timeline. No limit on files.

Adobe Premiere ProDaVinci Resolve

Run it inside your editor.

Works as a plugin in DaVinci Resolve Studio and Premiere Pro. Select the footage you want to sync, and SyncLab does the rest.

Your footage stays on your computer.

Syncing runs entirely on your computer. Footage and audio are never uploaded, so material under NDA stays with you.

No card to start. Nothing is charged when the trial ends.

Prices are in US dollars and shown without tax. Sales tax or VAT is added at checkout where your country requires it, and outside the United States checkout may show and charge the equivalent in your own currency at the payment provider’s rate — so the total you confirm may differ from the figure above. You see it before you pay, never after.

Questions? Answers.

The app runs on Macs with Apple Silicon (M1 or later) on macOS 14 Sonoma or later, and on Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Intel Macs are not supported. The plugins run inside DaVinci Resolve Studio, version 18 or newer, and Adobe Premiere Pro, version 2023 or newer. The free edition of Resolve doesn't allow the integration the plugin uses; with it, export an XML from the app and import that.
Yes — 14 days, everything unlocked, no card. Because there is no card, nothing can start charging you by accident when the trial ends. You need a CT Lab account, and the trial starts when you install SyncLab from CT Lab Hub, our free app.
It renews automatically until you cancel — monthly or yearly, whichever you picked. Canceling is self-serve from your account — tell us briefly why, then confirm. There is no retention gauntlet and no support ticket. Canceling stops the next charge and you keep access to the end of the period you already paid for. Anything unclear, just ask us.
One subscription runs on one computer — the first computer you sign in on. Another computer is refused until you move the license there: sign in on the new computer and choose to use it there, or release the old one in your account. On a paid plan you can move it once every 14 days; during your free trial there is no limit. Two people editing at the same time need two subscriptions.
