[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 627932, member: 15805"] Same way Hollywood has done it since the introduction of the talkies. A slapboard. That's those two-piece wood boards with a chalk-board on one side for filming info (movie title, roll no., take no., date, scene, etc). The editor would use the visual motion of the boards striking each other with the clap sound on the sound track. If they were off, the audio was adjusted to match the film. But instead of lugging around a slapboard, I just clap my hands three times in front of the lens at the beginning of each recording. Since the camera automatically records audio, it will record three huge spikes in the audio track that will be obvious in post. My remote audio recorder will also record the same three huge spikes. Slide the audio track left or right in the editing software so the spikes coincide with each other. Play the clip and if the audio is in synch, you'll hear only one clap. If it's off a bit, it will sound like an echo. Once they're lined up, I mute the video's audio track. I can then edit to my heart's content. [/QUOTE]
