Even if your project has stunning visual images, your project will suffer if proper attention isn\u2019t paid to creating a quality, complimentary audio track. \u00a0We&#8217;ve put together the following tips for the video editor looking to improve the sound mix of their projects!<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"only-use-high-res-audio-in-your-projects\"><strong>Only use high-res audio in your projects<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>MP3s may be useful for web applications, but in video <strong>WAVs or AIFFs are better choices<\/strong>. These file types are less compressed and will sound cleaner and crisper. MP3s can also prove to be finicky in some video editing applications, like Final Cut Pro. An additional step you can take to avoid complications in post is ensuring that <strong>all the audio elements in your project have the same sample rate<\/strong> \u2013 the standard for digital video is 48 kHz. Check out our previous post on the\u00a0<a title=\"Best Audio Formats for Video Editing\" href=\"http:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wav-mp3-aiff-which-audio-file-types-are-best-for-final-cut-pro\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">best audio formats for video editing<\/a> for additional information.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"let-music-drive-the-video\"><strong>Let music drive the video<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><\/strong>Your goal is to use music to enhance the feeling of your video, not work against it. Pull a handful of songs that you think will work for a particular scene or project. Then, <strong>VERY roughly lay out the video track and audition each of these songs underneath it<\/strong> to see how they work together. Once you\u2019ve decided on an audio track,\u00a0<em>then<\/em>\u00a0use that <strong>music as a guide for editing the video<\/strong> (in most cases cutting to the tempo and beats).<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"keep-your-audio-tracks-organized\"><strong>Keep your audio tracks organized<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Assign different audio tracks in your project to different audio types<\/strong>. For instance, keep all dialogue on tracks 1-4, all music on tracks 5-8 and all sound effects on tracks 9-10. Think to yourself, \u201cif another editor had to sit down at this project would they be able to quickly identify each audio clip?\u201d It&#8217;s best practice to keep the project organized as you go, but it&#8217;s <strong>ESSENTIAL to clean it up before archiving<\/strong>. \u00a0Keeping an organized timeline will likely save you time and a bit of sanity.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"use-sound-effects-to-enhance-action\"><strong>Use sound effects to enhance action<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><\/strong>Sound effects are often one of the last things to get added to a mix, so it likely falls off when you\u2019re up against a deadline. Instead, <strong>think of sound effects early in the post process<\/strong>. When you\u2019re reviewing footage take notes of instances where sound effects may add value to a scene. If you\u2019re working with a sound designer, discuss opportunities for incorporating sound effects in the mix. <strong>The right sound effects can help set the tone and add pacing to your project<\/strong>. Check out our <a title=\"Sound Effects and Video Editing\" href=\"http:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/sound-effects-in-film-and-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">previous post for other tips on using sound effects<\/a> to improve your videos.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"dont-skimp-on-the-room-tone\"><strong>Don\u2019t skimp on the room tone<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><\/strong>Connect with the on-location audio person before the shoot to ensure they\u2019re<strong> recording room tone every time the scene or environment changes<\/strong>. Anytime the on-camera sound drops off (this can often happen between cuts) make sure you\u2019re using room tone to cover this audio dead space. This will keep the mix sounding most consistent and be less jarring to the listener.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"test-your-mix\"><strong>Test your mix<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><\/strong>On what device will your project be seen? With the wide variety of digital video devices it\u2019s important to <strong>listen to your mix just as the intended viewer would<\/strong>. \u00a0Get a strong baseline mix in you audio or video editing application, and then refine it to fit the final delivery format. For instance, you may want to consider adding extra bass to an audio track that will primarily be heard through treble heavy low-grade computer speakers. Keep the <strong>final<\/strong> output in mind when doing your <strong>final<\/strong> mix.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"utilize-meters-when-setting-levels\"><strong>Utilize meters when setting levels<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><\/strong>Your ears will fool you. It\u2019s impossible to keep a consistent mix when adjusting from your own hearing alone. If you\u2019re making adjustments by ear you\u2019ll likely find that the overall mix will get louder and louder through the timeline. As you become accustomed to the audio level you\u2019ll unknowingly raise the audio little by little, so that the end of the project sounds significantly louder than the start. \u00a0Avoid this editing mistake by utilizing<strong>\u00a0the audio meters within your video\u00a0editing\u00a0application<\/strong>. \u00a0A standard in digital video is to keep most audio around -12 db with audio spikes not exceed 0db (12 db of headroom). \u00a0If you&#8217;re outputting for web it&#8217;s likely you&#8217;ll want to run the mix a bit hotter to account for computer speakers (around -6db). \u00a0Everyone\u2019s hearing is different so use the audio meters to get a consistent result.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have audio tips to share?<\/strong> \u00a0Let us know in the comments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Make your projects sound incredible by keeping in mind these audio tips for video editors!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8071,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-class-post-6949","post-class-post","post-class-type-post","post-class-status-publish","post-class-format-standard","post-class-has-post-thumbnail","post-class-hentry","post-class-category-video-editing"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v27.7) -
