Sync RED files with ext Audio files in Premiere CC TIMECODE

[Martijn de Vre]

For a big FAST project i have to sync 100+RED dragon files with 100+ audio files. Camera and external audio recorder are synced bij timecode.
My client want to edit the files in PremiereCC. Now i know you can sync the files with merge clips, but this is only for one clip at the time! This takes to much time!
Is there a more efficient way to do this???

I can't find a good solution on internet

Red Giants PluralEyes 3 doesn't support R3D files (anymore/yet), but maybe one of those workarounds works for you: http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?94385-PluralEyes-3-1-1-and-R3D-in-Premiere-Pro
I use it with Canon 5d3 footage, works great!

Do not merge clips in Adobe Premiere, it will have disastrous consequences later in post.

Sync audio by TC in Davinci Resolve, and output offline 1080p files for editorial. That's probably your best bet at this point, then relink to the R3D files once you're in Premiere.

Yup - sadly this is the biggest issue stopping full native editing. For the record - syncing and adjusting sync in Scratch or Scratch Lab is more powerful and efficient than in Resolve. You can now get Scratch for free for 90 days. Highly recommend for syncing dailies.

Davinci Resolve LT is free and doesn't expire after 10, 30, or 90 days.

If there's a TC sync with the project, I'm not sure how much more in sync the Video/Audio elements will be with Scratch or Scratch Lab. And I'm not sure how much faster Scratch will be, when it takes about 5 seconds to sync sound for the entire day in Resolve.

Thank you guys! I will try these options. It is very frustrating that Adobe still can't do that.

We synced all the files in REDCINE X. Then we did a audio only export (BWF).
Then we opened Premiere and put the R3D on a timeline.
And then we imported the audio export files from REDCINE X. These files have the same clip name as the R3D! Worked very well!

It is still very strange that Premiere doesn't support multi clip audio sync!!
