Synclay
Sync your multi-cam GoPro/DJI footage into one PiP video
Download Synclay
Synclay is available for macOS and Windows. Star us on GitHub for updates.
How It Works
Synclay makes multi-camera video editing effortless with a simple 4-step workflow:
1. Drop your videos
Point Synclay at your video folder. It automatically detects simultaneously recorded pairs based on metadata timestamps.
2. Auto-sync via audio
Frame-accurate synchronization using audio cross-correlation. No manual alignment needed.
3. Preview & adjust
Real-time playback with timeline, waveforms, and drag-and-drop PiP positioning. Choose your crop preset for social media.
4. Export
Production-quality FFmpeg render with automatic quality presets based on resolution.
Installation
- Download the DMG file using the button above
- Open the DMG and drag Synclay to your Applications folder
- Launch Synclay from your Applications folder
Synclay is code-signed and notarized by Apple, so it installs and runs without any security warnings.
- Download the .exe installer using the button above
- Run the installer (it will install to Program Files)
- Launch Synclay from the Start menu
Windows may show a SmartScreen warning since the app is not yet code-signed. Click "More info" then "Run anyway" to proceed.
System requirements: Windows 10 or later (64-bit)
