(If anyone else wants to weigh in on this as well, that would be great).
That article is a couple of years old. The concepts should apply, but probably any specific technology mentioned is out of date. I'm told you can now sync in iMovie (maybe there was a way back then, and I just missed it), tho I haven't tried it. It's very easy in Final Cut , Premiere, and many others. In the latest Final Cut version (sort of iMovie on steroids), you can just import as many audio and video clips as you want, and they can be synced automatically. Maybe iMovie does that too, now? I don't know In any case, any editor that allows you to have multiple tracks and move them relative to each other can let you line up based on a clap. You can even do it in some "audio" editors, like Logic, that let you import video, even if they aren't full-featured video editors.
