Audio Post Production for Film 101 - Dialog Editing pt.1

In this second tutorial I go over how to start dialog editing in Pro Tools for a narrative feature, short, or TV show.

For part 1 I will focus on finding fill, transitions between clips, clip gain, aligning boom and lav mics, and other basic editing techniques. This will create a cohesive dialog track without destructive processing, which will be covered in part 2.
