What makes WaveXML unique
WaveXML fills the gap left by PluralEyes' discontinuation by offering free, local waveform-based audio-to-video synchronization. Unlike cloud-based solutions, it processes entirely on your computer and supports multiple professional NLE formats (FCP7 XML, FCPXML, OTIO). Its simplicity—drop timeline, press Synchronize, export—makes it more intuitive than paid competitors like Syncaila, while maintaining full feature parity in beta with no clip limits.
