Cheap/open-source NLE app to merge audio + video files?

[yetanotherlogin]

Hello,

I'll soon need to record a conference where my Sony camcorder will be set up too far from the audio source.

So I'm thinking of…
1. Running the camcorder and a Tascam audio recorder, and use my smartphone to play a one-second beep as timestamp
2. Filming with the camcorder
3. Putting the Tascam next to a loudspeaker on stage
4. Using an NLE application to merge both files, using the beep to sync the audio + video tracks.

If that sounds doable, is there a simple, cheap/open-source NLE application you would recommend for Windows/Linux?

Thank you.

You can't get any cheaper or easier then the video editing program that comes with Win 10. You should be able to do it especially if you have the one second beep timestamp. But I haven't actually tried it so let us know if it works.
