First video I clicked on, got exactly what I needed. Thank you.

Then break apart clip items, drop the internal mic's volume to -96db (all the way down) and make that a compound clip.

I should have looked further down the threads: Sam Cel Roman nails it.

I did this, but when I dragged it onto the timeline and played the clip it was obvious I was hearing both channels, the embedded and the synched audio. I couldn't find a way to separate the two (only a single waveform showed). So instead of dragging the clip I clicked the drop down command "open in timeline". It seemed to open up in a separate stretch of timeline with both audio clips separate and visible, allowing me to mute the on-camera one. Not sure why I have to got through this extra loop!

Guess you forgoten something: After you sync them you have to turn OFF the orig. audio source.

[Ryan Perrella]

Thanks for the short 90 second video that gave me the just answer I needed!

[WarmothStrat]

Curious as to what kind of message you get if you click on the wrong video clip? Also wondering how it works if you started your audio recording say, a minute, before you hit record on the camera?

Geez, LOUISE, you got right to it. I was home doing a test to simply know how. Now, I KNOW HOW. Thank you very much. Can you tell me how many source fils you can synch the audio to? I mean if you have 10 cameras that made at least traceable sound will it handle it no prob? Thanks.
