Is there any easier way to getting clips synced to one another?

I'm using Premiere CS6 still (because I use fairly old camera's and it's still running great) and I 'm using it for many years now. Still, I have the idea that my workflow could be improved and that I'm missing out on something.

I have shot a wedding ceremony with a couple of camera's and the couple wants to receive the whole ceremony, so from the first to last minute, as a video file.

Now, I had 2 camera's on a tripod filming the whole thing and naturally that is an easy job to edit. I just sync them to each other based on the audio and put them on the timeline.

But, I also have shot footage while walking around with another camera which I would like to cut to at times. These are all short clips and as such are not as easy to sync to the other two clips.

Is there any way to 'automaticly' have these 3rd camera clips synced to the full lenght tripod clips? So that I don't need to manually sync those clips to the tripod footage?
I have the idea that this exists or should exist and that I'm making my life harder than it should :D

Would like to hear it if you know it!
Thanks.
 
Pluraleyes?

Thanks.
PluralEyes only syncs the video to a selected audio track right?

What I would like is that, on the timeline, the video clips are all already placed on top of the continous takes from the stationary cams exactly where it matches with the audio. Or at least tell me the exact second where the clip should be placed / where it matches with the audio of the continious takes.

Can it do that? Or am I asking an impossible thing?
 
If I understand correctly (sorry I am very tired) then yes. I have synced 2 or more cameras that recorded the entire event with other cameras that only recorded short segments of the event. I lay out each camera on it's own A/V track in Premiere CS6 and then run plural eyes and it will match up all the tracks. Then export it back to premiere and either multicam edit the project or just do manual cuts.
 
Multicam is the way to go. Get the audio synced first so you can align the tracks based on that.
