Video Editing Tips

There are basically two forms of sound editing which can be done as the shoot is going on. The video recorder takes audio from an external source and then feeds it at the same time a scene is taken. Say a scene with background music playing fading into script. For a more complex sound effect, you would need an audio mixer which can take audio input from two sources and with a selector allow you to choose which audio source to use. These nifty gadgets can also have built-in faders which allow a fade away effect for your audio sources. Audio dubbing requires the adding of audio into a pre-shot video sequence. This can have the full audio track recorded with the video intact or totally replaced with one you provide say a narration of the sequence of events being portrayed.
