Mecano
Multicam sync software

Sync all your cameras. Review footage in half the time.

Mecano organizes multicam footage using the temporal reference stored in your files. It generates a multicam timeline for Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and compatible workflows without transcoding or modifying your originals.

EditHacks Pro includes Mecano + CropFlow + ImageFlow for €199.

Manual multicam syncing steals hours from every project

In multicam projects, sorting hundreds of clips and reconstructing when each shot happened can consume a large amount of time before editing even begins. Mecano automates that stage when the files preserve a coherent temporal reference in their metadata.

It does not magically sync every possible file. Accuracy depends on the temporal information recorded by each manufacturer, so hardware compatibility matters.

What makes Mecano different

Frame-accurate via metadata

Fraction engine with exact arithmetic — no rounding errors. No waveform analysis, no clean audio needed.

Thermal drift correction

Dual anchoring at start and end of event. Progressive interpolation. Perfect for 8-12 hour events.

Mixed framerates

25fps, 50fps, 29.97fps, 120fps — all on the same timeline. No conforming. No prior transcoding.

Smart compaction

Removes dead gaps. A 10-hour wedding becomes 4 hours of useful footage. Or keep real time if you prefer.

Three export formats

FCP7 XML for Premiere, Resolve and Final Cut. CSV for verification and scripts. ALE for Avid Media Composer.

100% non-destructive

Never touches your video files. Only reads metadata and generates interchange files. Your originals stay intact.

Why Mecano exists

After every wedding I came home with three cards, two operators and a whole day to piece back together before I could even start editing. Nothing I tried organised the full day. They all just built a one-off multicam.

— Israel Díaz, wedding videographer and photographer

IMPORTANT BEFORE YOU BUY

Mecano needs a coherent temporal reference

Mecano relies on the camera preserving a valid time correlation between clips. If a device does not maintain that relationship in its metadata, Mecano cannot automatically reconstruct the real position of those files.

Tested with valid results

Nikon · Blackmagic · Panasonic · Sony · Canon

In our tests, some Blackmagic cameras can show timecode drift while still preserving the day-level temporal reference Mecano needs.

Hardware without temporal correlation

It is not compatible with Mecano’s automatic workflow. We have encountered this behavior with some DJI devices we tested.

For other brands and models, compatibility depends on how the manufacturer writes metadata. If in doubt, use the 7-day trial with your own footage before purchasing.

Real-world cases

Multicam wedding

Footage from Nikon, Sony, Canon or Panasonic with coherent temporal references. Mecano orders the clips and prepares the timeline so review can start sooner.

Blackmagic production

Although some cameras may show timecode drift, the tested material preserves the temporal reference Mecano needs for its workflow.

Long events

When compatible cameras develop progressive drift, the dual-reference workflow can adjust the offset across the event.

Coming from an audio-based sync workflow?

Mecano takes a different approach: instead of relying mainly on audio waveforms, it works with the temporal information available in the files and adjustment references when the project needs them. That avoids requiring every camera to have clean, comparable audio.

One-time purchase: €159. Includes 1 year of updates and support. The license covers the version purchased; OS changes, new versions or some machine-transfer operations may require active maintenance.
