Sound Editing II

A good video production not only has to have the video well edited but also the sound. Another type of sound editing is called audio dubbing. It involves the addition of audio to an edited footage. It is added to the footage without affecting the video and sometimes the audio that was previously recorded. In order to do this, the VCR must be in HiFi Stereo with built-in audio dub.

Audio dubbing is done by putting the VCR in a Play/Pause mode, with the Audio Dub function enabled, and allowing the VCR to run the video while the audio is being recorded.

Sound Editing I

In video editing, the visual is only half the task. You still have the audio part. Audio plays a big role in a video production. It helps build the mood and the tone.

One type of sound editing is sound mixing. This can both be done in the original shoot process and in editing. You can connect sound sources, which can be two or more, to a sound mixer and then you can input it into the external mic jack of camcorder or to the audio input jack of a VCR. This process allows alteration or addition of sound during editing.
