I've also found if you throw a large bunch of audio and video files at it and a few of them don't actually correspond to anything (shot MOS or false starts on the audio recorder, etc), it may balk at a large percentage of the batch..even if the scratch audio is good. Like it gets bogged down trying to find a waveform match on something and then giving up entirely...missing some stuff that should be obvious. Some people swear by PE, but it's rare that I don't end up having to figure out what it missed on some of the batches.

My experience matches Dom's. The closer the camera and audio recorder waveforms match, the better the result you get with PluralEyes.
So if production recorded audio separately from camera, but sent a wireless scratch track from the audio recorder to the camera, then PluralEyes usually works well.
But if production recorded primary audio to one recorder and camera audio with a mic stuck on the camera (or with the camera's built-in mic), the waveforms can be significantly different and therefore the PluralEyes results might not be so hot.
You may want to select the "Try Really Hard" and/or "Level Audio" options to help things along.
Poke around the Red Giant forum for more problems and suggestions/solutions:
