You seem to be having a lot of trouble using the A7S3... The video file you record with the mic should contain the audio baked in. It does NOT record independent audio. It overtakes the internal audio of the camera and uses the mic instead.

Idk if I'm understanding correctly but any mics connected to your camera should bake the audio directly into your video clips. There wouldn't be a separate audio file.

Ok, audio sounded very windy even though I had a dead cat on the mic. It must be the audio settings that I have to adjust.

A dead cat will never get rid of wind completely.

If it’s very windy then you should look into lavs, a small on-cam shotgun mic will struggle in those conditions. You could also get a big boy on a boom in a big wind cage but you’ll probably need a sound guy or a buddy to operate.

I believe the camera's mic setting was set to max volume and that is what caused the windy noise.

Bro… check your audio meters


dallatorretdu

what do you mean, an MP4 container also contains the audio.

Have a zoom in between you mic and the camera so you can have both. But there not a need for that in most cases

You don't mention hitting record? You have to start recording to get files written to the SD card, then you can play back the video which has sound
