Subject: [Puptcrit] Synching audio after the fact?


Hi all.
Someone mentionned a simple trick to add an audio track and sync it to what 
was already there before.
I can't remember who it was, but there was mention of a visual cue.

Can someone repeat it, or give me a similarly simple solution?
Please note that I don't know much about video editing, not even in the 
software that I have (Windows Movie Maker).


details:
After 6 hours of trying everything I could think of, I can't get proper 
audio synchronisation with my webcam.
Clearing memory, changing playback devices, reducing sound quality, using 
the microphone as the audio source, nothing works. I know, it's a little 
late to notice that now, but I've never really needed it to be perfect 
before, and I didn't know it was THAT bad. How can people accurately judge 
my puppeteering skills if the video is behind the audio by half a second?

I will definitely try to borrow an actual video camera for a week or two to 
make my puppeteering demos, but if that doesn't work, I'd still like to have 
something out there, until I can get my own camera.


I think in the meantime I'll make a visual performance and add a soundtrack 
after the fact.
