Dialogue Editing In Pro Tools

[@cooperroth4234]

Needed a refresher before I dialogue edited for 310. Just realized you teach at my school. Thank you!

[@ChrisMoroccoSound]

Oh cool!

[@patrickpod]

This was exactly what I needed, thank you Chris!

[@ChrisMoroccoSound]

No problem!

[@icmiap]

thank you for actually explaining it slow and steady

[@VashaunBlanks]

Thanks for this. I always need little refreshers like this in pro tools.

[@ChrisMoroccoSound]

Glad it was helpful!

Solid video for beginners! However your fill at beginning and end of clips is considerably long. It would add a lot of time to an edit to ensure each clip has such long top & tails. Also I suggest using equal power fades that overlap equally for your dialogue in/outs!

[@paulbohak]

Do you ever worry about fill buildup, like when you have two tracks playing fill (room tone) simultaneously?

[@ChrisMoroccoSound]

I think room tone is dangerous in general and try to avoid it since it won't match each take. I completely agree with the idea that stacking fill or room tone will certainly cause more noise which is unwanted. I find that being careful with fades, using fill and avoiding room tone works well, especially trying to avoid adding a long track of room tone under a scene for example.

It seems that my audio does NOT have the little tabs on the bottom left which seems so easy to use. Any suggestions?

[@ChrisMoroccoSound]

I’d have to double check this but it is possible you need to have the “smart tool” engaged. I got over this tool in my Pro Tools Bootcamp video if you are unfamiliar. Lmk if that works! (Also I’m thinking you mean the small boxes for creating fades right?)

[@ChrisMoroccoSound]

Following up, do you mean the Clip Gain fader on the bottom left? If so, you can turn this back on by going to View > Clip > Clip Gain Info

You saying "hey dudes" almost made me click off of this video. I'd change your intro to be more inclusive to non-male audio editors.
