Audio Post Production for Film 101 - Pro Tools Session Setup

In this first tutorial I go over how to get started doing audio post production for a narrative feature, short, or TV show.

This will lay the foundation for your dialog edit, a crucial stage of audio post production on most narrative films and TV shows. We will cover: AAF, video files, importing files, syncing up raw production sound, and selecting the best mic for each shot.
