Features · Audio Sync

Match your audio,
to the right video

Sync audio to video automatically using timecode and waveform analysis. FrameQuery matches separate audio recordings to video files across your entire library, verifies with confidence scores, and exports synced pairs to your NLE.

Automatic Matching

Scanned, matched, linked

Add your audio sources and FrameQuery scans timecodes and waveforms across your entire video library. Matches surface automatically with confidence scores.

Match Review

Review every match before confirming

FrameQuery matches audio to video using embedded timecode from BWF files or waveform analysis for files without timecode. Every match surfaces with a confidence score and method so you can verify before linking.

Manual Linking

Full control when you need it

Not every recording has clean timecode. Link any audio file to any video with a custom timecode offset. Reorder multiple audio tracks per video, unlink and re-link as needed.

Custom offsets

Set a precise timecode offset when linking manually

Multi-track

Multiple audio tracks per video with independent offsets

Non-destructive

Unlink without deleting the audio file from your library

Proxy Integration

Audio baked into your proxy

When audio is linked, FrameQuery remuxes it into the proxy for seamless playback. Your originals stay untouched. FCPXML export resolves audio links into sync-clip structures so your NLE receives both tracks already aligned.

FAQ

Common questions

What if my audio has no timecode?

Use waveform sync analysis or manual linking with a timecode offset. FrameQuery supports all three approaches so you can match any recording setup.

Can I link multiple audio files to one video?

Yes. Multiple audio tracks can be linked to a single video with independent timecode offsets and sort order.

Does audio sync affect my search results?

Linked audio is used for proxy playback and NLE export. Your search index uses the video's original embedded audio track for transcription.
