Earwig Sync
From camera card to timeline
Earwig Sync is the free Mac app that turns your marks into an edit.
What it does
Sync takes the session you marked on the phone and the footage on your camera card, works out exactly how they line up, and builds a timeline in DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro: your earmarked selects cut together in order, cutaways and markers alongside, using the camera's own audio.
The flow
- Open Earwig Sync and sign in with the same account as the phone.
- Insert your camera card (or point Sync at the offloaded folder). Cards are detected automatically; the Refresh button rescans.
- Pick your session from the sidebar. Sync downloads the session audio and matches it against each clip.
- When you see Audio-synced to footage, the marks are aligned to the frame.
- Click Build in Resolve or Build in Premiere. Your NLE opens with the selects timeline assembled.
What lands in your NLE
- A selects timeline: every earmark as a cut, in shoot order, with handles.
- Your camera audio, on its own channels, untouched.
- Colour-coded markers matching your Earwig buttons, with the quote text on the marker.
- Cutaways as their own group, ready to lay over the selects.
Prefer a file handoff? Sync also exports standard formats (EDL, XML, OTIO) you can hand to any editor.
Requirements
Earwig Sync runs on macOS. The Resolve build talks to DaVinci Resolve's own scripting, so Resolve should be installed and open. The Premiere build imports via a standard project XML. Sync is free and included with every account.
