PluralEyes 4 is an automatic audio/video synchronization software developed by Red Giant (now owned by Maxon). It is standalone software (not a plug-in) that imports video and audio data directly from your computer and can export synced files to virtually any editing system.
| Tool | Platform | Notes | |------|----------|-------| | | Win/Mac | Free if you have CC. Works similarly but less automatic for many cameras. | | DaVinci Resolve | Win/Mac/Linux | Built-in "Auto Sync Audio" (waveform or timecode). Free version works well. | | Syncaila | Win/Mac | Dedicated standalone, modern UI, very accurate. ~€49. | | Vegas Pro (Scripting) | Win | Has its own auto-sync via scripts. | | PluralEyes 4 (legacy DMG) | macOS 10.14–11.x | Best only if you already own a license and run older macOS. |
Audio and video synchronization is a critical step in modern filmmaking and video editing. When you shoot a project using double-system audio—recording high-quality sound on a dedicated field recorder while capturing video on one or more cameras—you are left with completely separate files. Manually lining up these waveforms using clapperboards or transient peaks is incredibly time-consuming.
Unlike traditional workflows that require expensive timecode generators, PluralEyes uses the audio waveforms themselves to match clips, even if recording stopped and started frequently. pluraleyes 4 dmg
While many editors now rely on the built-in sync functions in DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro, PluralEyes remains better in certain scenarios:
PluralEyes 4 is ideal for a wide range of production scenarios:
If you want to sync directly inside Premiere Pro or FCPX, run the plugin installer included inside the DMG’s “Extras” folder. Works similarly but less automatic for many cameras
Double-click the installer application inside the mounted DMG window. macOS might ask for your administrator password to authorize the installation. Step 4: Follow the Setup Wizard
: Corrects timing discrepancies in long clips where audio might gradually fall out of sync with the video. Direct Integration

For many editors, the PluralEyes 4 DMG became a staple in their "emergency kit"—a folder of essential installers kept on a hard drive when traveling for gigs. If a system crashed on location, reinstalling the essential sync tool was a matter of seconds, ensuring the production pipeline could be restored quickly.
In the world of macOS, a DMG (Disk Image) file is a digital container that holds software installers. When you download a Mac app, it often comes as a .dmg file. Opening it mounts a virtual drive on your desktop, where you’ll find the application itself and sometimes additional resources. For PluralEyes 4, the DMG file contains the complete installer for the Red Giant software, ready to be dragged into your Applications folder.
PluralEyes 4 is an advanced software solution designed to produce precise depth maps from stereo image pairs. It is widely used in various applications, including autonomous driving, robotics, and 3D modeling. The software leverages sophisticated algorithms to compute depth information, enabling users to perceive the world in three dimensions.
