Media Sync Tool · for Final Cut Pro

Sync and log your dailies.
Automatically.

Pairs every camera clip to external sound by jam-synced timecode. Reads your continuity notes and writes all the metadata onto every clip. The manual logging pass, gone.

How it works

Three steps. One synced, logged, organized project.

Drop in your media

Camera clips, externally recorded sound, and the script supervisor's continuity notes — a day or a whole season.

It pairs and logs the clips

Timecode marries every clip to its sound, assembles multicams, resolves overlapping timecode, and logs each clip.

You start cutting

Dailies land synced, rated, renamed, and sorted into keyword collections — ready to edit, nothing left to clean up.

Stop logging dailies by hand

Drop in continuity notes.
Get back fully logged dailies.

Have continuity notes? As it syncs, the app writes scene, shot, take, and any other metadata onto every clip, flags good and NG takes, and renames each clip to your pattern.

The logging pass that used to eat your hours is simply done.

  • Take metadata — on every clip, straight from the report.
  • Good/NG takes — the director's verdict, applied.
  • Custom naming — every clip, your naming convention.

Why editors switch

Most tools stop at simple sync

Matching audio to video is the easy part. The hours hide in the logging — and in the clips that pair wrong when timecode repeats across shoot days.

Made by an editor

Built by a working post professional

Media Sync Tool, developed by a seasoned film & TV post-production professional, originates from real shows.

Every job meant the same lost hours: syncing sound to picture, then re-typing the script supervisor's notes onto clip after clip. No tool did it the way an editor needs — so it was built.

It speaks your language because it comes from the same workflows.
