I'm so happy it worked for you:) You asked if this was the way the pros do it, yes it is. I've done it like this on two large-scale productions, so believe me, the "pros" do it;)
This is also a perfect example of something you would need a higher-class editing program to achieve. Final Cut, Vegas, Avid or Premiere. iMovie, Movie Maker and such won't let you fine-tune the speed of audio/video. Happy to help!
