I agree with the advice not to use PluralEyes. The main reason for this is that many cameras are not in sync with themselves. What I mean is that if you look at a file directly from a 5DMII, the audio will not be in perfect sync with the video. PluralEyes uses the audio to sync between cameras or between cameras and an audio source. So if you sync a 5DMII to a Zoom audio recorder, or to a C300, the 5DMII will be out of real sync by several frames because it's own audio is out of sync. If you do a manual sync visually - like from a slate or a simple hand clap - you will be in true sync. Also, Autosync in a film project lets you additionally sync at the sub-frame level - thirds or quarters of frames.

I teach students to sync "manually" without plural eyes. They often make this mistake, but it happens because they don't remember the instructions.
When you mark a clip in the sequence to "sub clip," you will get into trouble like this if you Ctrl+click on to enter the IN and then the OUT points of the clip. When you Ctrl+click, the position indicator goes to the first frame of the next clip, not the tail frame of the clip you want. So you end up with one frame at the end of each of the sub sequences. Usually the students can't see the one frame extra that's edited onto the clip, but if you zoom the timeline in, you'll see it.
It's better to use the T key to mark the clips. Not only is this faster, it will give you the first and last frames -- they will AutoSync.
