We've got one last step

before finally rendering out our project.

And we'll make it a short one

because we will, we'll kind of expand on it later,

but we're gonna introduce sound effects.

Now. Sound effects I'd like to introduce now

because understanding sound effects

and how do sound to design your videos is as important,

if not more important than the video edit.

I will say it again. Understanding how

to do sound design becomes more important than the video

edit often.

However, for this video it's,

it's a pretty straightforward edit,

so we probably don't need a ton

of sound effects in the video.

Now if you are still in the effects tab over here in the

upper left hand corner, go ahead

and head on back over to the media pool.

I'd like you to locate your audio folder

and then the sound effects or SFX folder.

And we've got three that we can play around with.

We've got a ding.

Ah, very nice.

We've got a riser,

very nice as well.

And a swoosh.

These three sound effects will probably be some

of the more common categories

that you'll use when you're editing the

ding might be considered an impact.

And while it's not exactly a thud, it hits.

And then trails off a riser is a tension building tool.

We have a slow build of audio that ends abruptly,

So we've got hits and impacts, risers,

and then swooshes, Swooshes

and whooshes are very common when it comes to highlighting

movement and scene changes.

But we don't have a lot of movement here in this video.

I don't know if I need to add some swooshes

when my head is turning.

All I'd like us to do is this,

lemme go ahead and play this real quick.

Let's talk about some editing mistakes

that a lot of beginners make.

So a mistake that a lot right here, right here.

When we're about to begin the conversation point,

I would like a little bit of a oomph, a little cue

that says, Hey, we're gonna talk about video editing.

So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna drag down the ding

to track four and I'm gonna try to line it up right here.

I would like the ding, so the beginning of this ding

to start right when the video transitions.

Now we can move our playhead one frame at a time using the

left and right arrow keys, remember.

And then I could drag this over to line up with our playhead

or we can use another little keyboard shortcut,

which is the comma key.

And the period key comma will shift a clip one frame

to the left period, one frame to the right.

And so we can fine tune this to kind

of sit exactly where we would like.

So let's go ahead and, uh, let's play that.

Hey, let's talk about some editing mistakes

that a lot of beginners make.

So a mistake that a lot of, uh, oh, problems

if you don't have headphones on,

you might not have heard it,

but if you did, you probably noticed that this ding

only comes in on the left headphone.

Well, uh, why mistakes that a lot of beginners make.

So a mistake that a lot of what happened here,

what did we do something wrong?

No, not exactly.

When you're given audio files,

there will be two very common formats for it.

There is mono and stereo.

Now stereo files are audio.

They get output to both the left

and right output of your speakers or your headphones.

So however you are monitoring your audio.

So inside that audio file there is a left

and a right audio track.

This is how music can pan

between the left and right headphone.

An audio file that has a mono format has one

singular audio output.

There is no left or right.

So if our ding is mono,

why are we only hearing it in the left headphone?

Well, if I go back to Da Vinci Resolve

and I hover over our audio track here, right

where this 2.0 is, you see how it says stereo?

That's because this audio track is formatted

for a stereo audio file.

So what Da Vinci's trying to do is output our audio file

to a left and right headphone,

but it only has one audio track, so it's only going

to the left headphone.

So there's two ways that we can correct it.

The easiest way is to just change this track to be mono.

And the way that we do

that is we right click change track type two mono

and you'll know if you had done it right,

if you get a 1.0 over here.

And now if we were to play it,

it should hit both some editing mistakes

that a lot of beginners make.

So a mistake that a lot of there we go loud

and proud, both earphones.

If for whatever reason you don't wanna change the track

type, there is a quick fix as well.

There's a little bit more convoluted,

but I will show you I'm, so I'm gonna change

this back to stereo.

You can also right click on whatever audio clip

that you'd like to change and go to clip attributes.

And over here on our audio tab you can see

that it's it's formatted for, for mono over here.

Well this is a stereo track type, so what we would need

to do is change the format to stereo.

And you see, here's the problem.

We've got nothing going in our, our right headphone here.

So what we would do is click here

and feed in that first channel either or works.

It's probably gonna be easier though

to just change this track type to mono.

Now it's a bit loud. Uh, I'd probably like it to sit.

Maybe we'll go down to like minus 10. Let's try that.

Let's talk about some editing mistakes

that a lot of beginners make.

So a mistake that a lot of beginners. Perfect.

And I think that's a nice little cue

that the video is about to begin.

And if I were to zoom out on our timeline, look at,

we did guys, we made a video edit, which means it's time

to render or save this final version of our video.
