Plural Eyes 2.0 (PE 2.0) extends automated audio–video synchronization workflows by integrating multi-track alignment, error-correction heuristics, and timeline-aware clip mapping into Adobe Premiere. This paper analyzes algorithmic foundations, practical integration with Premiere’s editing model, performance considerations for large multi-camera shoots, failure modes, and proposed enhancements including real-time synchronization, visual confidence metrics, and machine-learning–driven alignment refinements.
