Jeez, i cannot imagine why NOT to import sound.
And i'm truely amazed people recommend PluralEyes when there is common
timecode!
personally i'm not a big fan of Pluraleyes. Great under lab conditions, but
in (my) real life, it's dog slow and makes a lot of mistakes.
(or fails alltogether)
So, my way of dealing with a mess of non-common TC (after kicking the
client...)
Even if there isn't a lock, there is always free run TC, or even file
creation time / date.
Autosequence sound and video based on that, put them into one timeline,
shift the entire audio shebang to match one clip and the rest will match as
well.
(not exactly, but you're very close.)
Faster than Pluraleyes, not a lot of room for error.

Thanks. I imported the audio files and not AMA.
