MalibuSync matches camera and sound by timecode, automatically selects the best audio channel, pulls all metadata from the set — and delivers an FCPXML directly into Final Cut Pro. No roundtrip, no manual entry.
Timecode · Clap detection · ALE/CSV · Lockit Network · Multicam
MOV, MXF, MP4 und WAV, BWF, AIF. Rekursiv, beliebige Ordnerstruktur.
Timecode-Überlappung, Klappe, Metadaten aus ALE/CSV und Lockit — alles automatisch.
FCPXML mit synchronisierten Clips, Multicam und vollständigen Set-Metadaten. Direkt importierbar.
MalibuSync thinks through the entire workflow — from TC matching to the finished audio channel structure at the edit suite.
Reads TC directly from the MOV container (tmcd atom) and BWF files (bext chunk). Supports drop-frame, non-drop-frame, and all common frame rates. Offspeed and slow-motion clips are handled correctly.
When no timecode is available: adaptive transient detection finds the clap in the audio automatically. Works even with offspeed material that has unreliable TC.
MalibuSync analyzes all audio tracks and automatically selects the best channel per clip — Iso Mix, Boom, or Lav. The channel structure arrives in Final Cut Pro fully configured.
Camera reports in ALE or CSV format are read and the metadata (Scene, Take, Reel, Notes) written directly into FCP metadata fields — no manual entry required.
On productions using the Lockit wireless system, MalibuSync pulls set metadata live via the Lockit Network REST API. Scene, Take, timecode status — directly from the set.
When multiple cameras share timecode overlap, MalibuSync automatically creates multicam clips with separate angles — in addition to the individual synchronized clips.
No XML exports, no re-importing, no intermediate steps. MalibuSync produces a finished FCPXML — it goes into FCP once and that's it.
Scene, Take, Reel, channel names, audio roles — all pulled automatically from ALE, CSV, or Lockit. The assistant types nothing.
Which of the 8 audio tracks is the best? MalibuSync decides automatically and pre-configures the channel structure in FCP.
Everything runs on your Mac. No cloud upload, no privacy concern. Footage stays where it is.
