    I want to do this in the most efficient manner.

    Here’s what I am guessing, making a new sequence for each clip then syncing by slate marks then editing all the sequences in a greater timeline, but that will require an extra step to do picture adjustments. How are you guys doing it?

    I just remembered the merge clips option, been a long day and a while since using dual system 🙂

    I have the same set up as you. You need to get this software…

    Watch the movie and see how simple it is. It does all the sync work for you by analyzing the camera’s mic with the Zoom audio. No need to record a sync clap in your audio any more.

    lars is 100% correct! Plural Eyes is fantastic! And saves so much time. You just need to be sure you also record audio on the camera as well as to your H4N. Its the combo of these two audio sources that Plural Eyes uses to sync

    After its done syncing you simply delete the camera audio link the the H4N audio with your video. Its seamless really
