Editing Passes

The following are the six main passes made while editing a final project:


  1. Construct the primary audio narrative: Insert sound bites, narration, and voiceover from the start to the end of the timeline.  
  2. Insert B-Roll and natural sound: Now that the primary audio is there, you can start at the beginning of the timeline and add B-Roll and natural sound.  
  3. Insert titles and graphics: Next you can insert lower-thirds and graphics.  
  4. Add sound effects and music: Now that the basic structure is complete, sound effects and music can be added.  If you're constructing a music video, the song must be added earlier so that the beat of the song can be used for timing of the video clips.
  5. Add transitions and effects: Once all of the clips have been added into the timeline and in their proper locations, you can begin adding transitions and effects.    
  6. Finishing touches: The final step is to adjust the placement of the clips and the timing of transitions, titles, and effects.  Sometimes color correction to video clips or tweaking audio clips is necessary.

All things being equal, a professional external microphone will have better sound recording specs than the built-in microphone attached to your device. Professional external microphones use a blanked XLR connector, which is better for reducing RF interference and other types of transmission noise. 2. What are the two ways to monitor your audio recording?  measuring sound intensity and setting the record levels listening to the audio signal ...
