In Movie Studio, just place the b-roll below the fixed cam, and match a moving frame visually. Of course, if your b-roll was started and stopped repeatedly, the manual alignments are multiplied by the number of takes. Be sure you have Quantize to Frames enabled.

As for audio, that is a different story and will take a lot of time if you plan to use b-roll audio in the mix.

Multi-cam editing is a feature available in Vegas Pro.

I agree with Musicvid. Multi-cam editing is a HECK of a lot easier in Vegas Pro, which allows you to easily switch between camera angles.

Hope both cameras ran continuously during the shoot.

I would place both videos on your timeline, then expand the timeline out (zoom-in so that it expands horizontally) and watch the audio waveform while you do this. You don't want to zoom in too far, but you need to get a good close look at the waveform.

Find a sync point ... a noise, a word or something that you can find easily on both tracks. Slide one of the videos back and forth until the waveforms match as best you can .. then MUTE one (you don't want the audio to switch back and forth only the video)

Depending on how long the shoot is, and how closely the two cameras run .. you may need to re-sync later in the video.

This is not a perfect way, but it should work fairly well (I've used it before I got Vegas Pro)

Never start/stop a b-roll cam. That is, unless you really want the "church picnic" look to your video. Let it run.
