An honest obituary, and what comes after

PluralEyes is gone. The hard sync problem isn't.

PluralEyes was revolutionary. Born in 2009 at Singular Software, in the era when DSLR music videos were cut by ear, it defined waveform sync for a generation of editors — first as its own tool, later under Red Giant, then Maxon.

On January 31, 2023, Maxon announced PluralEyes would enter limited maintenance, effective February 1, 2023, with support and critical fixes for one year — noting that its capabilities had become standard in modern editing tools, and pointing users to Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Avid Media Composer.

On February 1, 2024, PluralEyes was discontinued entirely.

Here is the honest gap in that farewell: native sync handles the easy cases — clean audio, one take, matching waveforms. But working editors kept reaching for PluralEyes for the hard music syncs the built-in tools could not handle. That hard case — a track buried under camera microphones, across dozens of takes — outlived the tool that retired.

What PimCut does about it — architecture, not promises:

Analysis runs entirely in your browser, on your machine. No frame, no audio, no filename ever uploads — not a setting, the architecture.

The machine separates what it certifies from what it proposes. A take it cannot prove comes back as an amber proposal at the machine's best placement — it never fakes certainty, and one click confirms it by ear.

Your ear work is remembered: a placement you confirm comes back on every future import of the same take, forever.

Exports open in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro as native timeline files — synced takes stacked over your track, proposals cut and live beside them, each named with how strongly it is backed.

Why do camera mics bury music? The science, in plain words.
