You might wonder what unusable footage means. It encompasses everything from mistakes like words wrongly spelt to shots in which the background noise is too loud. Indeed, you might sometimes need to save footage. However, cutting this unusable footage can bring better results. You do not want your video to be of poor quality just for a few rough sections, isn’t it?

Pace The Video Well
The pace is nothing but the consistency and speed of your video. Balancing the pace of the video is a common problem faced by video creators. Indeed, some areas of the video will be naturally fast. But, when there are constant changes in the paces of your videos, views will feel uncomfortable to watch.
You can generate a smooth pace in your videos by using cuts. When you do this, slow-paced areas of your videos will be lengthy with fewer cuts. On the other hand, quick scenes will have more cuts. When they are put together, the pace will look uniform in the entire video.
Balance Audio Levels
You know the importance of good quality video, audio is equally important to provide the best experience to viewers. Unbalanced or distorted audio can make your video unwatchable. So, you should remember to balance audio levels when editing your videos.
When recording, make sure to capture high-quality audio. When you do this, you can easily balance the audio levels during the post-production phase. Balanced audio means that there should not be sudden spikes or dips in audio levels in your recording.
To balance the audio in your videos, give importance to the sound of people talking. The audio levels of speeches in your videos should be fairly consistent. When editing your videos closely watch for imbalances in the audio levels between different speakers. The reason is that when you record with many people, some audio tracks can come out clearer and louder in comparison with others.
Once the voice levels are fixed, adjust sound and music effects to create a clear and smooth listening experience for your viewers.
Record in Separate Tracks
In general, audio recorded through a person’s microphone is referred to as a track in video production. Regardless of whether you have two people or 10 people in your videos, record the voice of each person individually. With multitrack recording, you will get more editing flexibility.
With these basic editing tips, you can ensure that your video production improves.
