As most everybody in Camga knows by now, we have a great little digital audio recorder, the Zoom H2n, that we can use for great audio on our videos. The main obstacle to using it is that the sound from the recorder needs to be manually synchronized with the video from the camcorder. This is trivial using a professional editor with visual waveforms; you just line up the signals visually and you’re in business.
If you’re using a free editor like Windows Live Movie Maker (free and already installed on most Windows PCs) or iMovie (free and already installed on most Macs), it takes a little more thought, but it’s doable. In this new video, we lay out a simple technique for lining up the Zoom H2n sound with the Canon camcorder picture. Love to hear whether it works well for you!
