I'm in a situation where I need to produce a little video tonight, and I am wondering if any of you could offer some advice.

My equipment:
* A Raspberry Pi 4, with an attached camera module. (Not the HQ one, but I don't need it for this purpose.) OS is Raspberry Pi OS 32-bit.
* A USB microphone, which I'll be using to record audio. (Worth noting that audio is vital for this, and is more important than video for this production.)
* A musical instrument, which will take up both hands during the video.

The biggest question I have is: How would I record the video and audio at the same time, and have them be in sync?

Also, I need to be able to look at the screen and see something other than the video (sheet music in this case).

(There's also a click track, but I think I may use a smartphone and headphones for that, as I didn't get headphones working on the Pi.)

So, any advice? (In particular about video/audio synchronization.)

The best solution (in your case) is to use a smartphone for the video and audio recording.

I've already decided to use the Pi, particularly since I already have the camera and microphone, and I don't have a stand for the phone.

Hollywood uses a clapper for this specific reason. A short, audible reference point telegraphed by a visible cue.
