I have two good-for-what they do tiny cameras. Video is decent if not much action, audio is poor. Good limited use cameras.
I have a regular Canon video camera that does great video and audio (at my level), very easy to use, perfect for most of my uses. Main use now is soccer games and highlight videos, but the audio works well when used. That's a tripod device almost always, but it has good image stabilization if I need to hand record. I have done that for an hour at a time with good results.
I have an old Panasonic Lumix camera that records very well, too, high definition and good audio. I use that where cameras are handheld and accepted, but I want video.
Next I am looking at the possibility of getting a separate sound recorder and mixing the audio with a separate video recorder.
A) Is that hard to learn?
B) Any particular software that does it more easily than others?
I have in mind a Yi camera for video in situations where a wide view is called for, but good audio also desirable. Places where I would not have my Canon or Panasonic, and the primary objective is good audio, but better video desired than the tiny cameras would provide. I have in mind some audio recorders that are good, but I don't know if this is a many hours to learn, and pain in the rear to mix just right when getting the sound to match the singer. I have seen some hysterical movies where the actor's lips moved 3 seconds after you heard it. I don't want that.
I'm hoping technology has improved dramatically so that this is easy and precise. Get it matched up once, and the entire video and audio is synced properly.
Pipe dream? Realistic? Recommendations or thoughts?
