As I've pointed out above the problem was not lining up the video during editing, in fact a single flash discharge is much simpler (since we were shooting in the dark). The problem was synchronising the actual capture of the frames themselves. As I think I also commented the solution we ended up using was buying cameras that had proper synchronisation (don't know if it was GENLOCK or otherwise, they came from a scientific camera company and worked over ethernet). Also this was all 5 years ago! But I appreciate this question still occasionally gets comments... | |
| Jun 1, 2017 at 20:24 | comment | added | Michael Tiemann | This is not a solution. The correct solution is to acquire cameras that support GENLOCK. GENLOCK ensures that the shutters of both cameras are in sync. There is simply no mechanism other that that that can guarantee any consistency of synchronization based on any attempt to start the cameras all at the same time. | |
