        • you can alter the playback speed of your video – eg convert your 50fps to 25fps to give slow motion effect
        • if you want to use your Zoom H4N recorded audio track instead then, in the timeline, select your video file, right click and select split audio and the GH-1 audio track will be separated out from the video and you can mute it and also see the audio trace which helps you match up with the audio track from the H4N you place in another audio track on the timeline – not that hard when you get the hang of it
