syncing externally recorded audio and video workflow
I'm looking for advice to sync externally recorded dialogue to video, exporting them, and importing them back into fcp7.
I've done this before, but not on this large scale. I have many clips and I did record audio with the camera as well.
I know how to sync everything up, I'm mostly looking for the best way to combine the footage and export it without loss of quality. Also wondering if I can keep the in camera audio AND the externally recorded audio. So, if at the end of the day, I absolutely need to use one or the other, I can choose which one and hide or delete the other.
My questions are...
1. What's the best way for lossless quality re-exporting and importing for this (some fomat that is still editable)?
2. Is there a way to keep multiple channels of audio (from the camera and the h4n) or do I have to choose before exporting?
3. Is there a "batch" way to do this? Does it consist of making multiple sequences?
Thanks for your help!!!

I shot it on a PMW EX3 and the audio was recorded on an H4N, if that helps.
