High Quality Audio
I have professional audio recording equipment (pro tools) that I would like to sync recording with a camcorder. Is this possible and with which cameras?
If your looking to edit A roll video with B roll audio...this can be done in an editing program. Depending on the length of the project there might be a little drift over a long run of continuous footage, after 15minutes or so. This is due to variations in Frame Rate. Standard video is at 29.97fps with an option of either 32k or 48k audio recording on semi-pro camcorders. Most stand alone Audio Capture devices give you more options for kilohertz, anywhere from 12k to 48k (or more). If you record the audio in HQ you may have to change the hertz and still slightly adjust it during editing to keep in sync. When I'm working with B roll audio I usually record a little Nat Background Sound to use as a mask when I separate the audio track to re-sync. This helps fill in the hole that the edit makes. I just use the Nat Sound to fill in the silence.
If your Camcorder and Audio Recorder both have Time Code...syncing is much easier, but the Hertz must still match.
