Its not all that hard to sync them up in post. They may be a little bit
of drift, and if so, that is easily corrected as well.

All three of the most popular hobbiest editors (Vegas, Premire,

used the one for Vegas on about half a dozen short videos now, I can say
that it really makes the process easy.
