Im working on a project with multiple cameras shooting at the same time. I'd like to import it into iMovie and essentially sync up the time on both sets of clips. That would make transitioning from one camera to the other very easy. Is this possible?
Bonus question, I'd like to do the same with the audio I recorded in GarageBand.
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
You really need Final Cut Pro to do this sort of thing easily. It can sync the audio from multiple cameras automatically and allow you to switch the between them as you like.
In iMovie the easiest would probably be to select the clip with the longest duration or best quality audio and put this in the timeline as a base. You would detach the video from the other clips and place them above the first video clip as connected clips, moving them manually until they are in sync with the audio (I'm assuming you have people speaking or action which requires precise audio synncing.
