One of the most common things to fix in video editing in post production is the audio coming from our subject who is speaking on camera.įor example, if they made three points in their video, but they were made in the wrong order: Sometimes, you may not realize there’s an audio issue until you’re in the post-production stage. Adjust the audio until the voice and music harmoniously blend together without one sounding more powerful than the other. Most video editors have audio control right on the track. If it sounds off, it needs to be adjusted regardless of how amazing your footage is! How To Fix: Pro Tip:Ĭlose your eyes and just listen to your video. Pay special attention to your final edit by focusing on the sound. Make sure the music blends in with your voice talent, or sits just below the voice. Newbie editors often have their music track overpowering their other tracks. In Camtasia, you can turn that off by right clicking and selecting “separate audio and video” then just delete or hide the audio track. If you do not need audio from the original clip, the first thing you can do is turn that off. On your timeline, there will usually be two to three audio components. To save you time and energy, here are 7 common video editing mistakes that can be corrected in post production process: 1. Don’t let mistakes intimidate you- some of the best new video editing “techniques” have come from mistakes. There are many mistakes that will be made along the way.īut a lot of mistakes can be corrected with a few simple tweaks in post-production editing. Same in Bonnie and Clyde, always to serve the story.Creating a video can feel daunting. The rules were broken on purpose to serve the story. Kubrick broke rules as well The shining has line crossings in the bathroom scene that are used to show the instability of the main character. but you don't get to determine the success of your storytelling ability, that's your audiences job - and they have specific expectations. If you want to break the rules, you'll have to do so knowing that you may fail miserably. Most of the time we stuck to the rules in this one - because they work and you don't have to figure out whether or not they work as they're tested. The story is presented in an entirely different order than the original script - it's so much better than it was. We're on rough edit pass 10 or 12, just about ready to declare a picture lock. they worked for the scene, but not within the story as a whole. The current edit I'm working on had hard jump cuts for 2 revisions, then we removed them. If not - your audience will let you know. if you break the rules well, no one will care. The 90s move from analog film to digital non-linear editing.įeel free. The access to new foreign cinema styles (see the commentary track on the original Die Hard). The 80s undercurrents with the Reagan era pro-family cinema in the mainstream. The rise of the film degree kids in the 70s and their disregard for the rules the Hollywood had settled into. The advent of the super8mm cameras in the 60s along with the drug culture of the 60s. The influx of cheap 16mm film cameras at the end of the war in the late 40s. Stylistic changes from the German expressionists fleeing the Nazis. Closeups (which pissed off the studio heads who had paid for the actor and wanted to see the whole actor they'd purchased), then bigger rigs for camera movement, then jump cuts brought from Eisenstein and company. Unless I am wrong, and this happened a lot in pre-1967 movies? But their is still Goldfinger and other movies off the top of my head that used cuts, so how is Bonnie and Clyde revolutionary?Ī whole litany of films changed editing. In fact I don't ever recall seeing a movie that does a move like they were talking about in Bonnie and Clyde, and it seems like a complete avant garde move. They cut to the hand, then cut back to him or Bond. When Q points to the switches in Bond's car, they cut to his hand pointing out the switches, and do not tilt down to his hand, then tilt back up to him, or pan over to Bond. I re-watched Goldfinger recently, which was 3 years before. But their have been several movies to do this before Bonnie and Clyde. As if cutting instead of moving the camera, is something new. They say that it cuts to what Bonnie is looking at, rather than just tilting the camera, towards what she is looking at. They say how that movie changed editing and they use the street corner scene as an example. If you fast forward to to 6:25 in the video:
