Sony camcorder to iMovie: sync to audio?

[G3User]

Hi! Please allow me to try and explain what I intend to do. I will own a Sony camcorder soon, (30 gig Hard drive type). I intend to play and sing over stuff I have already multitracked and mixed in Logic Pro 7.

My live performance, over the top of that, I intend to capture with the Sony camcorder.

Then, of course, I will (or attempt to anyway) use iMovie to capture that from the Sony camera.

Now, I will have an audio version from the Sony's microphone of all parts: the pre recorded stuff coming from my speakers, and the stuff I perform live.

But since I will be recording as I do this to Logic, I think the audio from Logic will be much better. I would either mix the two, or mute the Sony's audio completely and just use the to Logic 7 recording.

I know that the audio i record to Logic and the Sony won't be synced, but using my ears and eye, it is possible to line them up, right? I don't need down to the sample accuracy as one would when film scoring, just the ability to line nudge the audio in iMovie back and forth until I am satisfied with the sync.

I look forward to your response. Thank you!


P.S. JVC or Panasonic camcorder is also an option, if Sony is incompatible with Mac. All I need though, is for iMovie to recognize and capture it. Of course Sony's software that comes with the camera won't worn on Mac. I'm used to being a Mac person in a PCcentric world. If iMovie can capture the video, then I think that will be enough.
