I’ve almost finished reading Jeff Bartsch’s book, Edit Better, and I decided to take a few pieces of advice for the sound editing and audio mixing. I decided to apply both audio compressors and EQ to each audio channel and adjust them individually. I’m already in love with the first 5 minutes of audio in the edit, but I will probably have to test it out on my 1080p HDTV just in case my computer speakers are lying to me on something.

I’ve also been entertaining some ideas to fix the export issues I’m having, and I think I’ve come up with a few solutions! I found out I can export the commentary track via an audio only track in Linear PCM. So, when I’m going through the film grain overlay stage, I can just pull out the audio-only track and apply it to the rest of the edit! And I think I can do the same thing for the stereo track as well! The only question, though, is whether it will work or not without crashing. There’s only one way to find out, but I’m keeping my chin up and assuming the best! The only downside is that I’ll probably have to do chapter markers again when I go through the film grain overlay export, which can be a time-consuming annoyance. But otherwise, I think I might be able to export the file with the grain after all!

And finally, yes, I’m recording more commentary stuff for the ending! 😊
