    As the title suggests… I have tried with windows movie maker but the syncing audio with video is way to tricky and time consuming.. so any good software out there for this?

    Adobe Premier Pro 2.0 is very nice, it’s a video editing software like windows movie maker but much more technical and way more tools. It’ll be much easier to sync with that, all you’d have to do is drag either the video or audio forward or backward to get it to start at a diff time.

    just a little bit expensive for what I’m looking for but looks like a great video editing tool thanks:)

    For videos on IG I use Sony Vegas which is along the same lines to the Adobe suite. It is not cheap either though. Maybe get on download.com and search for free ware video editing software. There are usually loads of simple programs that offer these kinds of mixing features. You will just need to experiment with what is available until you find a good one.

    Hmm.. I use windowns movie maker and it might take a minute or so.. Does the camera you have have audio on it too? Because then it shouldn’t be to hard to sync the two audio files together..

    Hey Bill,

    I used to use movie maker and it’s not too bad to sync them up.

    As TJ said, keep the audio from your camera on so that it is easier to sync up the mp3 audio with it. Once you’ve done that just mute the cam audio so only the mp3 audio remains.
    Also, when you are lining up the audio, make sure you use the zoom function so that you can line it up more accurately.

    OT, TJ I totally forgot about the backing so I’ll get that sent today for you man šŸ˜‰
