Solved! Audio/Video Out-of-Sync With USB Mic

I have spent perhaps 100 hours over the last 3 months on the issue of synchronizing my video from my camcorder with the audio from a USB microphone. The best I was ever able to do was to get the sound and video to match up when I solely produced it as a flash file. This is not a great solution and it really limited me on my editing capabilities as well as my video distribution efforts. Probing around the internet forums, I was not the only person with this problem and the only resolution appeared to be to buy a camera with an external microphone input (which meant I needed to buy an XLR to mini-jack converter). This just meant MONEY MONEY MONEY!

I don't know what I did not go to him earlier, but Mike Stewart (the InternetAudioGuy and InternetVideoGuy) gave me the solution: Video Capture Wizard.

The tool is fairly basic (and easy to use), but it is designed to take the video from the Firewire of a Camcorder and combine it with the audio of a USB microphone (like the LightSnake adapter that I currently use).

I tried it and it WORKED! After 20 different set-ups and 10 different capture software packages (including Sony, Adobe, Windows Movie Maker and a dozen shareware capture tools), I achieved success (and it only cost me 39 bucks at the end).

Thanks Mike for the great advice and tool!

(Actually, it was a fair comment!  No offense, bro!)...

This seems to be an infomercial in disguise. It's interesting that as the vid goes on the sound and video slip out of synch.

1) Yes, I do mention Mike Stewart in this because he is the one who helped me solve this problem with his software. (& in this case, I have no affiliate link nor do I receive any compensation for this video).

2) I do understand that on some people's machine that it may go out of sync due to YouTube Rendering in old Flash players.

I create a lot of videos using this SAME method now & they only produce great results. This solution works well for me, from both a video & audio standpoint.

3 month old MacBook Pro:

Out of sync Firefox 3.6.2; Flash Version: 10.3.183.5

In sync for Safari; Flash Version: 10.3 r183

Maybe in the 3 years, the software is now behind Flash? Anyway, I hope you got at least throse 3 years in good audio. ;)
