Syncing Audio with Video in Audition 5.5

I've recorded myself playing drums into Audition while video taping at the same time. Now I want to replace the video cameras audio with the audio from Audition.

Is it as easy as importing the video into Audition (which should show two tracks, one audio/one video) then align the two audio tracks and delete the videos audio track replacing it with the recorded track, right? Thanks
 
Yup, it's just a matter of importing the video file into Audition in the normal way.

The only "but" is that CS5.5 is a bit fussy about the video formats it supports, the published list being:

AVI
DV
MOV (including files with up to 32 audio channels)
MPEG-1
MPEG-4
3GPP and 3GPP2

In Waveform view you should see the associated audio, in multitrack you should have a video track plus you audio in a separate track.

The only other issue you may have is that your camcorder was free-running to its own sync source while Audition was working to its own wordclock. Over a longish take, the differences can cause you sync to drift and you'll need to drag it in again.
