Guide Align To Process lavs to match phase with the boom

    Love the idea of the new Guide Align!
    But had a question how can I use it for ex selecting multiple clips and have them all get processed and aligned to align to match the lav to the boom.
    for ex select Boom 1 as the sidechain in the Auto Align Plug in and batch process multiple clips

    Thanks

      Thanks for the question @Michael_Keeley,

      I'll let @Dustin_Harris answer that :-)

          HI @Michael_Keeley to use GuideAlign the way you're describing, you could select the lav tracks that you would like to shift, and then GuideAlign ask for which track to be the sync reference track, choose Boom 1.

          Some notes on this though:
          GuideAlign works using Auto-Align Post to find the offset using static mode, so it will align the very beginning of the clip being nudged to the reference track. If the distance between the two microphones changes over time (eg, an actor walking around) the time alignment will no longer be intact, and you will hear comb filtering. Auto-Align Post by itself in dynamic mode would be the better tool for that situation (in my opinion :) )

          Thanks!
