Narrator: Okay guys 2 2
I'm going to show you some editing techniques 3 3
and I'm using Final Cut Pro X right now 4 4
but it's very similar in other editing softwares 5 5
you've got the files that you've imported 6 6
and the screen here will show whatever you have selected. 7 7
Whether it's in your event library 8 8
or whether it's in your project. 9 9
Now I've got some clips here that I want to 10 10
fix up a little bit so I've chosen kind of what I want. 11 11
There are a lot of outtakes here so 12 12
(laughing) 13 13
Those are not included in my project. 14 14
So, let's have a look here. 15 15
Okay. 16 16
All right, so I'm reacting to something. 17 17
I'm actually reacting to somebody knocking at the door. 18 18
And so I want 19 19
to kind of have the door knock sound 20 20
(door knocking) 21 21
over here but I don't want to have the hand knocking yet. 22 22
So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna choose that clip 23 23
and when I right click on it 24 24
I wanna detach the audio. 25 25
Okay. 26 26
And it might be different in your editing software 27 27
but detach audio is what you want. 28 28
And let me just take a little, a little clip of that. 29 29
(door knocking) 30 30
Okay, that's enough. 31 31
So I'm going to select just the audio 32 32
and I'm gonna cut that. 33 33
I'm gonna clip it. 34 34
And I'm gonna take this little piece 35 35
and I'm gonna put it right under 36 36
my shocked face so I have something to react to. 37 37
Let's play it again. 38 38
Oh, see she's gettin' shocked. 39 39
That must be the knock. 40 40
So I'm gonna move this right there. 41 41
(door knocking) 42 42
There. 43 43
Actor: Uh 44 44
-: Oh and she's shocked. 45 45
And now this, this part of the clip here 46 46
doesn't have any audio, I moved it, right. 47 47
So, I don't need that anymore. 48 48
And I'm just going to shorten it. 49 49
And let's see 50 50
if 51 51
I don't think I can move it with the audio this time. 52 52
So let me just move the clip over top of here. 53 53
(door knocking) 54 54
Actor: Uh 55 55
-: And I'm shocked. 56 56
And, oh maybe I wanna just move it over here. 57 57
(door knocking) 58 58
Okay, she's still shocked. 59 59
(door knocking) 60 60
I'm going to shorten that knocking even more. 61 61
And I'm going to make this audio here of the knocking 62 62
overlap again. 63 63
So, I'm just going to shorten the video part 64 64
and I'm not going to shorten the audio part 65 65
and let's see how that looks. 66 66
All right. 67 67
(door knocking) 68 68
Oh that's good. 69 69
And then I'll shorten the end just a little bit. 70 70
(actors speaking in Chinese) 71 71
Okay now she's going for the door. 72 72
All right, and that's how you 73 73
detach audio 74 74
and you can do this 75 75
when you have two people talking to each other too 76 76
and this works really well to make everything 77 77
a little more seamless when you're doing 78 78
scenes like this. 79 79
This is a silly, silly video concept I used to do. 80 80
So we've got somebody at the door here. 81 81
Where is she? 82 82
Okay. 83 83
What's goin' on? 84 84
The door opens. 85 85
(actors speaking in Chinese) 86 86
Okay 87 87
(Actor speaking In Chinese). 88 88
-: Okay, so 89 89
I can actually 90 90
detach the audio when she says "Hi I'm Jennifer", okay. 91 91
I can remove that. 92 92
Detach audio. 93 93
Okay. 94 94
and move it over to 95 95
me looking confused. 96 96
Because I'm just reacting to her 97 97
so it should work. 98 98
Let's have a look. 99 99
(Actors Speaking In Chinese) 100 100
-: Ahh, good right. 101 101
I'm gonna remove this 102 102
Sorry Jennifer because 103 103
I've removed the audio 104 104
and let's see 105 105
let's see if that works. 106 106
(Actors speaking in Chinese) 107 107
Oh that's nice, right. 108 108
That's really nice 109 109
it flows really well. 110 110
(Actors speaking in Chinese) 111 111
And that makes the editing more tight 112 112
and it also flows better. 113 113
So that's a technique you can do when you are editing 114 114
dialogue between two people 115 115
or when you're doing something like this. 116 116
Oh, by the way 117 117
I had a door knock sound already in my footage 118 118
but if you didn't have one 119 119
you can also get it from the sound effects 120 120
'cause there are sound effects 121 121
in your editing software, likely 122 122
but we'll talk about that later. 123 123
This was just showing you how to detach the audio 124 124
and improve your editing that way.
