Once installed, PluralEyes 4 operates on a deceptively simple premise. It analyzes the audio waveforms of the video files and the external audio files. It creates an "audio fingerprint" for each file and compares them.

The brilliance of version 4 specifically was its standalone nature. Previous versions often required opening the software as a plugin inside an NLE (Non-Linear Editor) like Final Cut Pro or Premiere Pro. PluralEyes 4, however, was designed to work externally. A user could launch the app, drag and drop an entire messy folder of footage and audio files into the window, and click "Sync."

The software then goes to work. It listens to the scratch track recorded by the camera’s on-board mic and matches it against the high-quality external recording. It automatically identifies which audio clip belongs to which video clip, aligns them perfectly, and even corrects for drift.
