Important Things to Consider while Editing Music in Your Video

Music is the best way to give life to your scenes but what if the music doesn’t with the video or have jerks in audio? I am sure that you will not watch this type of video in the future. So, as a video editor that’s your responsibility to add the right music with perfectly edited. If you are a beginner and don’t have knowledge of using audio in videos then don’t worry. 

Today I will tell you some points that you should consider while editing music in the video.

Before that let's look at some applications in which you can edit audio:

• Adobe Audition: Adobe Audition is specifically audio editing software which formerly called cool edit pro. It is easy to use software.
• Audacity: Audacity is the open-source audio editor and recorder. This application can run in Windows, Mac or Linux.
• LogicPro X: This software is mainly for mac users. It was primarily launched in the 1990’s.
• Reaper: It is a digital audio editor in which you can edit audio with any format.
• Adobe Premiere Pro: You can edit audio in this an application like video.

Important things you should consider while audio editing

Use j and l cuts

J and L cuts are used to allow the viewers to see the context of the dialogue rather than audio itself. Using this cut one can combine his imagery with the dialogue. L cut means dialogue continues as the camera cuts to another image and J cut means the dialogue plays while we see contextual images.

• Importance of J and L cut: J and L cut are used to keep your audio inflow. If you don’t use this cut then the audience will understand the jerk.

Find songs with variations

Song selection should be good for an editor. Choose the right music which suits your visuals. If you use a variety of songs in your whole video then it makes interest to the viewers.

Show visual actions on the beat

It is very interesting to add beat on cut. Beats make the audio more powerful and no doubt, it creates a strong connection between the visual you are looking at and the audio you are listening. You can repeat the beat as well. It also gives a new effect to the audio.

Sudden music drops

Do you want to give amazement to your audience? If yes then, go for the sudden music drop. This is a very popular way to make your viewers into a moment. You should drop the music where the audience doesn't expect.

Visualize Playful elements

You can add playful elements to your audios to make it interesting like the cheerful or happy voice in the middle.

Organize your audio tracks

There are so many tracks to place audio. So, it is important to place every audio in the right manner. Don’t mess up all your audios together.

Controlling overall quality

Sometimes more than one video has many audios. You have to add different pieces of audio is one track. Then it is necessary to maintain the qualities of audios the same.

Mixing audio components

You can mix too many audios get together in the video. It looks like a mashup of the audios. But don’t put any type of audio in one track. Choose the audios which look pleasant while hearing.

Syncing your audio to your image

Your audio should match with your video otherwise, the viewers will distract and their flow will break.

Equalizing

Equalizing means your audios have an accurate level like background music should have less audio level than original music.

Now as a video editor, you should take all these things in mind while editing. I’m sure that when you will apply them all, they will definitely make difference in your editing.

No matter how hardworking you are, if you don’t work smartly then it will take more time with imperfections.

Uses of Chroma Key in After Effects

 
Before we go and take a look at Chroma key, we need to understand what is keying?

Keying is a composition effect that takes a part of an image or a video and makes it transparent. This part of the image or video is chosen based of color blue or green.

There are different types of keying Adobe After Effects such as

• Color difference key
• Inner/outer Key
•  Linear color key
•  Keylight or Chroma Key

In Keylight or Chroma Key in Adobe After Effects, we take a composition of two images or two videos and compose them together in a single timeline.

As now we have understood what is Keylight or Chroma Key in Adobe After Effects now let's see how to make this happen.

For example, let's make news channel compositions.

First you would need a background.

The background can be an image but it would be suitable if it is a video related to news channel appropriate.

Add an anchor

Now we would need an anchor who is reading some headlines with blue or green background for this part you can download this an appropriate and suitable clip from the internet or shoot it yourself in front of a green or blue background.

You can shoot this clip otherwise standing or sitting; if sitting makes sure there is a desk you are sitting behind to give your composition a formal look. If you are downloading the clip from the internet make sure the anchor and the news, he or she is reading, complements the background. If the size of the anchor is cropped or zoomed-in in the clip make sure you resize it to the proper proportions. 

Add a Table

To make it more realistic add an image of table in front of the anchor to hide any cropped areas. Remember to resize the table according to the proportions too otherwise it may look out of proportion and unrealistic. 

Now you can start to make the news channel composition

First, we need to go to a new project to make a new composition, give any composition name as you desire then choose preset for the composition. You can choose any preset from the several presets provided in the drop-down menu or choose custom and give your own desired size. 

After that choose the Pixel Aspect Ratio, you can leave it at 'square pixels' or choose any other from the drop-down menu. 

Then choose the Frame rate again you can leave it at 29.97 frames per second or choose any other option from the drop-down menu. 

After that, you need to resolution in which you want to work on while composing your video. 

Then you need to enter the duration in which you decide how long you want the video to be. After that, we finally choose the Background color you want to work on.

Remember whatever background color you choose in the final render the background will be black. For any other background color, you need to take a solid layer in the composition and make that the background. 

After clicking on OK go to File click on import and bring all the files in the project panel then drag all the files in the timeline panel. 

Arrange the clips and images wherever they look appropriate. Then choose the anchor layer with a green or blue background and to Effect options from many bars. 

Choose Keying then Keylight (1.2) then take the eyedropper from the Screen color option and choose the background of the clip which is blue or green. 

This will make the clip or image under this layer visible. 

 

Now readjust the layers above to make the composition look realistic. 

Add an adjustment layer to the composition to colorize the video and make it presentable. 

Now that we have seen how we can make a news video clip with the help of chroma key let's see where else chroma key is used. 

Chroma Key is used in movies as a visual effect (VFX), in whether showcase for news channels, in music videos or in any simple images with plain green background. 

Chroma key also has its pros and cons is a very simple and easy tool. 

Pros - With Croma key, we can make a different composition with the same image or video by just changing the background. 

Cons -But chroma key also has some of its difficulties after changing the background the edges of the foreground image have to adjusted so that it looks realistic.

Here we have seen how and where to use chroma key and compose a video, we have also seen some pros and cons of chroma key. And where it can be used.
