Hello -- I'm an avid mac user and professional musician, but I've not kept up too well with video editing over the years.
The basic question: What is a simple and easy way for me to sync an audio file (The higher quality vocal track as AIFF or MP3) with a video file (AVCHD to MOV with the lower quality sound)
I've got a copy of FCP7 running on my iMac, but it all seems so clunky: import video file, import audio file, move audio track millimeter by millimeter until audio syncs exactly with me moving my mouth. Render for ages. Then export.
I'm wondering if I should be getting FCP X for more AVCHD and advanced fluidity ... or use some simple technique in iMovie or download a recommended app from the app store? Or switch over to Adobe software?
Or does quicktime have some extension where i can drag an audio file onto it and it will sync up with the video track at the correct time.
Any help is appreciated!
