Re: [videoblogging] External camcorder mic suggestions?

[Randolfe Wicker]

 How involved is that?  How much would a digital recorder cost?  What program do you need to sync the sound later?  I have iMovie and Final Cut Express.  I'm still learning the basics of iMovie.     Randolfe (Randy) Wicker   Videographer, Writer, Activist Advisor: The Immortality Institute Hoboken, NJ http://www.randywickerreporting.blogspot.com/ 201-656-3280     ----- Original Message ----- From: Jan McLaughlin To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 7:07 AM Subject: Re: [videoblogging] External camcorder mic suggestions? Another way around cameras without mic inputs would be to record the  sound to a digital recorder and sync the sound to picture later. Jan --  "It isn't done alone.
