You are recording a video from your DSLR or smartphone, and the audio is being recorded in two places. One, using the internal microphone of your device and second, you have an external microphone which cannot be directly connected to your recording device.

The issue that arises now is matching both the audio and using the external one, which is crisper and clearer. But don’t worry. Capcut comes to your rescue and will help you achieve this in a matter of minutes. But first, you need to add music to your project and you can learn to do that by going through this post.

Steps to sync two audios in Capcut

Step 1: Import your Media Files

1. Start a new project by selecting the aspect ratio.
2. Import your videos and other media files along with the audio which you recorded on an external microphone.
3. To record on an external microphone, you can use Audacity software, which is free to use and is loved by freelancers and voice artists.

Step 2: Arrange your timeline

1. Add the video with internal microphone audio on one layer.
2. Add the additional audio in a separate layer.
3. Increase the visibility of both layers by zooming in and spreading them out so that you can see the waveforms clearly.

Step 3: Match the Audio

1. As mentioned before, pinch outward to increase the view size of both layers.
2. Now, start observing the peaks on both your audios and try to match them together. It’s like a game in which you have to notice the patterns and sync them.
3. Bonus Tip: I always clap three times after my recording has started. Since the clapping sound is sharp and generates a high peak waveform in both the audios, so syncing them becomes a breeze.

Step 4: Fine Tune and Add SFX

1. If one of your audio files is longer than the other, then split the start or end of that audio to match with the other one.
2. When adding any music or sound effects to your video, do it after you have synced the original audio and removed one of them. Doing this prior to this process will not only delay the editing process but may even mess up your existing audio.
3. You can also use markers to add accuracy and match the audio.
4. Add some transitions like fade in or fade out for that smooth effect.

Step 5: Preview and Export

1. From time to time, keep listening to your matched audio using a good headphone because even a few milliseconds of non-synced audio will cause an echo effect, and your actor’s lip movement won’t match with the external audio.
2. Once everything is done, click on export and enter the necessary options like file name, destination, aspect ratio, resolution, etc. and render your video in your phone’s gallery.
3. You can do all this easily and experience many other features by downloading our capcut apk.

Bonus Tip: If you are adding two audios one after another, always add a fade transition between them for a seamless transition.
