Synching sound with DSLR footage.
I am trying to sync Sound with pictures from a canon 7D with a top mic and sound recorded as Bwav with a time code slate. I place the picture file and Bwav on the time line and so far manually sync them using the spike on the wave file and the closing of the board. in CS5 i can only slightly move the sync using the mouse is there an offset i can type instead like +or minus in frames using the keyboard? and how can I get CS5 to read the time code in the Bwav so i can match it with the time line time code?
Kind regards Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
Since video is 30 frames per second, that is the unit of measurement used on the timeline, so when syncing audio your “precision” is limited to 1/30 of a second normally. There is an option to adjust at the sample level – at the top right corner of the Sequence window, click the little arrow and in the drop-down menu, choose “Show audio time units”. This will change the time units to thousandths of a second to adjust at the audio sample level very precisely (just zoom in as needed when adjusting).
When finished moving audio, toggle the units back to normal.
There is also a software that automates syncing sound to the video clips called Plural Eyes
