This tutorial covers the basic concepts of time-warping a video track to a different audio track using Twixtor in Premiere Pro. As an example, we lip-synch an outdoor shoot to a studio recording. This method could also be used to sync video to another video track.

Additional Credits:
A special thank you goes out to Christopher Hawley, (please visit at www.ChristopherHawley.net) for letting me shoot footage of you singing/playing "Dance all Day" for this tutorial.

Re: Lip-Synch with Twixtor in Premiere Pro

The actual numerical values being lower then the frame numbers is arbitrary.. what I was doing was taking a key frame from the video that I got by watching the the video and marking when he started and ended each phrase, that video frame number was then re-mapped to the corresponding key frame of the audio. I hope that makes sense. I am not sure how else to explain it. Maybe you can watch the AE version of the same tutorial. It might make it more clear. Let me know if you are still confused.

First off thank you for taking the time to create and share this tutorial. I think you did a great job explaining everything, until you got to the point of adding frame numbers. I got a bit confused, when you added numerical values that were lower then the frame numbers you first said matched certain frames in the video. I wasn't sure if you added markers to the new audio file/track that was just hard to see on the video. Again I think the tutorial was pretty good. Thank you again.
