Good Audio: the Unsung Hero of Video
Viewers notice beautiful cinematography but not great audio. It works unnoticed in the background to build and support the image. Bad audio stands out like nails on a chalkboard.
As an editor, you're typically doing it on your own. There is no one to hand the project off to for audio editing. It’s just you. So you not only have to be good at the visual stuff, but you also have to be really good at the audio as well.
- Why are some editors able to produce videos with great matching audio?
- What do they know that you don't?
