Audible edit errors
Editing errors are audible that affect the overall quality of the video. We would like to see the entire edit carefully checked for these errors, and that the errors are corrected. This concerns, for example, the following errors:
- Dips, short silences or clicks because a clip is trimmed just too far or not far enough. Or because there is a click audible in the audio source material.
- Parts of the audio are silent, because, for example, one or more audio layers are turned off. Because volume or channel settings are wrong. Or because there is "media offline". This means that the editing software has lost the link to a source file. The relevant clips must be relinked again, or replaced with other material.
- Parts of the audio cannot be processed properly because the source file is corrupted or incompatible with the editing software. This can cause silences, hitches, clicks or noise. Avoid using this source material.
- Strongly different (ambient) noise is audible. This may be because audio clips have been accidentally shifted in the timeline relative to the rest, or because wrong audio channels with setnoise have accidentally been placed on the timeline, such as a second audio channel from the camera with ambient noise.
- Phrases in speech or music are cut off too abruptly, or are faded off in a strange way.
- You can hear different audio mixed together which sounds very chaotic. This can happen for example with (too) long audio fades (transitions where one audio clip gradually blends into another audio clip).
- Unnecessary, distracting sounds can be heard in the audio clips. For example inhaling or swallowing sounds during speech. Or unwanted background sounds that are audible, just before or after a cut in the audio.
