    What would be the best way to align the video to audio?

    I shot a music video of a singer. He sang the song to a boom box on the set, so I recorded that sound.

    He also gave me the studio audio file of the song.

    What is the most efficient way to get the video aligned with the studio audio track?

    Assuming you recorded the audio when he sang to the boom box, load the video with its audio track, then load the studio track below the video’s audio track and simply line up the waveforms. Look for significant drum hits or something that stands out. If they are indeed the exact same audio files you may just be able to line the up beginning to end. If you have some drift towards the end, due to speed differences, you may be able to get away with doing a control drag to shorten or lengthen the audio track to match.

    Since posting the original message, I figured that that was the way to do it.

    Thank you.
