In this video I'm going to teach you how to sync external audio with your video

in iMovie and we are starting right now.

Hey, welcome to my channel. My name is Karin Carr and I teach Realtors how to

use their YouTube channel to get business. Why do I know this? Because

that's what I'm doing. I am a Realtor® with Keller Williams in Savannah, Georgia

and I get at least 75% of my business - not just leads, actual clients, closings,

and commission checks - from my Youtube channel. One of the things I've been

struggling with though is when you use an external audio... I've got a Zoom H1 for

example. When you go to import it into iMovie you're trying to sync your video

line and your audio line together and then if you make a cut suddenly you've

got to make sure that you're cutting the audio and the video in the exact same

spot. Otherwise it doesn't line up anymore and it kind of looks like a bad

kung-fu movie.

So here is the trick that I have learned to make that easier. First

thing you're going to do is import your video and the external audio into iMovie.

Put your video in the timeline, drop your audio down in the timeline. Now when I

start recording one of the very first things I do once the camera is running

and the microphone is running is to go like this. That way there is a spike in

the audio and I see it on video and it's very easy for me to then line the two up

so that my audio is exactly in sync with my video. Don't forget to mute the audio

from the video line (or you can even detach the audio and delete it altogether.)

You want to make sure that you don't have two lines of audio - the audio

from the camera that you were recording with AND

the audio from your external device. Once I have it perfect I'm going to download

it. So go up in iMovie, click on this button to export it to your desktop (you

can use whatever resolution you want), save it with a name. Now delete

everything that you just did in your timeline. Just select all of it, hit the

delete button, and import the one that you just downloaded. Now when you put it

into iMovie the audio from your external device is part of the video and now you

can go about and edit it the way you normally would. You can chop off the

beginning and the end, you can take out all the mistakes, you can put in b-roll

and do whatever you want to do without having to worry that you're gonna mess

up that audio and it won't be in sync anymore. So now comment down below. What

other sort of tutorials would you like to see? Do you want to know about making

custom thumbnails? Do you want to learn more editing skills? Do you want to learn...

I don't know, ways to make the entire process faster? Comment down below and
