Several cameras. One recorder. Latch listens to the audio, not file clocks or jammed timecode, and writes a DaVinci Resolve timeline on your Mac. Original files are never copied or changed.

Review & ExportCameras lined to the recorderInstead of Auto Align
Resolve guesses from a waveform. Latch listens to the night.
Auto Align using waveform is built into DaVinci Resolve. It is the right tool for a few short clips with a clean clap. A long set against a recorder is a different job. Latch does that job on your Mac, then hands Resolve a timeline.
Resolve
Auto Align using waveform
Matches selected clips to each other inside the timeline. Fine when the sound is short and distinct. On repeated music, buried claps, and clocks that were never jammed, it snaps to the wrong chorus or leaves cameras sitting there.
Latch
Each camera against the recorder
Listens to the audio, not file clocks or jammed timecode. Checks the placement against the original sound before it trusts it. Failed clips stay visible and say why. Export writes a Resolve XML. Original files never move.
Creation times drift. Timecode was never jammed. The clap is buried in a PA. Sliding clips by ear is how the morning disappears.
02
Repeated music fools a lazy match
A chorus can look like every other chorus. Latch checks the match against the original audio before it trusts a placement.
03
The media should not move
Nothing is transcoded for delivery. The XML points at the files you already have. Original media stays on the card or disk.
The same night, three angles
The music is the clock.
Wide room. Close stage. Side aisle. Latch lines them to the recorder by listening, not by trusting the file clock.

One project. Three stages.
Setup. Sync. Review.
One obvious action at each stage. Nothing extra in the way.
01 / Setup
Drop the night in
Name the project. Add the cameras and the recorder. Fix any camera grouping that looks wrong. Then synchronize.
02 / Sync
Watch the file that is working
No fake percentages. You see the active clip and how many have finished. Longer recordings can take several minutes. That is honest.
03 / Review
Export what you can trust
Play the tiles. Failed clips say why in one sentence. Export to Resolve needs a license. Unverified exports stay labeled.
Local only
The work stays on your Mac.
No account. No upload. Projects live in Movies/Latch. Camera cards and external disks are read only after you pick them. The license checkout is contacted only if you activate a key.
