Zack demonstrates his system for naming audio tracks in Avid, which can also be applied to other NLEs like Adobe Premiere),so you can quickly and easily find media inside your timeline, akin to how a music composer would read sheet music. This system includes labeling your dialog, ADR and voice over narration, sound effects, and music.
- [Instructor] In a previous lesson,…I demonstrated my system for organizing video tracks,…so I can access any specific portion of my timeline,…or even specific shots quickly.…And in this lesson, I want to show you my same process…for organizing audio tracks.…Like I mentioned regarding the video tracks,…my philosophy is that not only should an editor…be able to make great creative decisions,…but a truly great editor should be able…to navigate a timeline, just like a great composer…reads a piece of sheet music.…At any given time, you should know…where anything is located, and once you master the skill,…you'll be able to wow any director or producer in the room.…
I'm going to show you how to make that happen…by organizing your audio tracks efficiently.…And once again, just as a reminder,…this isn't thee system of organization,…I'm just sharing my system.…So here we are in the main Avid default layout.…I'm first just going to change the layout,…so we can see the timeline more clearly.…The next thing that I'm going to do…
