Hello there!

Well i have something i can't solve so what better than to check mac forums. Nothing too tricky but basically; I have my camcorder connected to my mac via firewire just turned on like a webcam so i can import directly to an app like imovie.
How ever i want to import video from the camcorder but use the audio from my usb samson mic at the same time. iMovie can see the samson mic in the voice over preferences but when i import from my camera is uses the onboard mic.

Any ideas/apps/ways i can import video from the camcorder whilst audio from the mic?

I have ilife 09 and final cut express if that helps?

Any help is appreciated, thanks =]

Why dont you just record the audio separately? as in use a different app. in the background to capture all the audio, and later while you're editing you use the audio track you captured separately.

Yeah i thought about doing that, but i was just seeing if anyone knew any apps that'd save that hassle.

I know flash like in a browser say on youtube quick capture could select my camcorder then my usb mic at the same time. Maybe there something flash based i could use.
