Total video-blogging noob here, with a question ...
I am the vicar of an Anglican parish. I currently own and much enjoy using a Sony PCM-M10 digital audio recorder to record my weekly homilies. The recorder is about the size of a deck of cards, runs forever (well, okay; maybe 30 hours) on two AA batteries, and produces great quality stereo recordings in WAV and MP3 formats in many resolutions.
Now, I wish to begin to video my homilies. It would help me evaluate cameras if I knew beforehand that it is possible to take a video file, an audio file, and to synch the two together, though they were recorded by different devices. The camera would need to be positioned about 15 feet away from me because of various factors in the environment; the Sony audio recorder would be (as usual) about two feet away from my mouth, lying on the pulpit, effectively invisible to those in the pews.
I'm pretty sure that very high-end video editing software can do what I need, though it may come at a very high end price!
Does "standard" hobbyist-level video-editing software allow the synching of an audio and a video track? If the video file already had an audio track embedded within it, can this be stripped out and replaced with a differen audio track?
