I'll preface by saying that I'm completely new to video editing. I have more experience in audio but this is my first real video project. I shot video with a Canon HF10 and recorded the audio to a Zoom H2. I'm editing it all in Vegas Platinum.
So let me draw this scenario out...I have a scene which we recorded in 3 different shots: medium shot of both characters, closeup of one character, closeup of the other. I want to cut between all of those shots for the end scene. So what I need to do is sync the audio from the H2 to the video of the HF10 for each take, and save those takes somehow so that I can easily cut between the different shots.
What's the best way to handle this? Should I sync the audio for one, render it to a new file, then repeat the process for all three? Doesn't that result in a degradation of the quality? Should I have 3 video tracks and 3 audio tracks, then split it all up and move them onto a single track?
Help a newb out, please!
