The invention discloses a method for realizing time point alignment of video files recorded by multi-channel recording elements. The method comprises the following steps: a synchronous generator synchronizes video line and field synchronizing signals from video cameras, and transmits generated black burst to a time code generator in order to take the black burst as a time code timing reference for the time code generator, and the time code generator generates a time code data flow synchronizing with the black burst; the time code generator simultaneously transmits the time code data flow to the recording elements; and each recording element starts recording and correspondingly embeds received time code data flow into each video frame of respective self-recorded video file after a control unit sends a record command to the recording elements. By the method, editors can easily find frames at the same time point during post editing and compositing; align, edit and compose contents recorded by a plurality of recording elements, thus improving post video production speed and quality, and reducing difficulty for editors.
