Audio Video
Sync & Editing
Here’s what we do…
Audio and Video Synchronising
We can synchronise any audio that you require. If you have separate audio and video files and you need them merging together so the audio lines up exactly with the video. Also known as AV sync and lip sync.
It’s a service you can utilise for live shows, where the projected video needs to be synchronised to the backing audio. We are equipped to handle both the audio and video side of things in most formats. The final product can be produced to the required broadcasting regulation, as specified by the customer.
Audio and Video Editing
We can provide you with a service to edit any audio or video files. You may have some drum or vocal audio that needs timing correctly, comping together or you may have some instruments or vocals that need tuning correctly. There may be files with noise issues that you need removing. We use the latest software to deal with such instances.
You may have several video clips that need compiling in to one or part of a video removing for privacy or copyright issues. We can handle pretty much whatever you throw at us.

Further Information
Audio Video Editing Details
Vocal Editing
- Vocal editing is for the entire project. The project length will be no more than 5 minutes (or thereabouts). A longer project will need another Vocal editing bolt on purchasing per extra 5 minutes.
- All the vocals will be scrutinised for tuning and timing errors. A varying degree of correction will be applied according to the genre of music. For example, pop music is tightly tuned and edited, where more organic genre’s will need a little breathing space leaving for that human feel. You can also specify what it is you require.
- All tuning will be done in a transparent way, on a note by note basis. It will not be a blanket auto-tune.
- All timing will be done manually. It will not be a blanket quantisation.
- Clip gain will also be applied, which will turn up parts that are too quiet and down, parts that are too loud. This is a pre mix procedure, that allows for a better result from the actual mix.
Instrument Editing
- Instrument editing is for an individual instrument. The project length will be no more than 5 minutes (or thereabouts). A longer project will need another Vocal editing bolt on purchasing per extra 5 minutes.
- The specific instrument will be scrutinised for tuning and timing errors and corrected accordingly.
- All tuning will be done in a transparent way, on a note by note basis. It will not be a blanket auto-tune.
- All timing will be done manually. It will not be a blanket quantisation. It will not be timed to 'the grid', it will be timed to the other instruments.
- Clip gain will also be applied, which will turn up parts that are too quiet and down, parts that are too loud. This is a pre mix procedure, that allows for a better result from the actual mix.
Drum Kit Editing
- Drum kit editing is for the entire kit. The project length will be no more than 5 minutes (or thereabouts). A longer project will need another Vocal editing bolt on purchasing per extra 5 minutes.
- The drums will be scrutinised for timing errors and corrected accordingly.
- All timing will be done manually. It will not be a blanket quantisation. It will not be timed to 'the grid', it will be timed to the groove of the track.
- Clip gain will also be applied, which will turn up parts that are too quiet and down, parts that are too loud. This is a pre mix procedure, that allows for a better result from the actual mix.
- All drum files will be affected (kick, snare, Oheads, rooms, toms hats).
- Phase correlation will be preserved.
Splitting/Fragmenting Audio or Video
- This is where you may have a long recording and you'd like it splitting out in to several files.
- For example, you may have a recording of an entire concerts, but want the songs splitting out so you can put them in a playlist.
- You may have a piece of audio or video, but need some parts of it removing and the remainder making back in to one video.
- This works for both audio and video.
- If it's video that you're having edited and the audio is part of the video, then you only have to pay for video editing.
- The final price will depend on how many edits overall there are.
Consolodating/Merging
- This is where you have several audio or video clips and want them making in to one or more file.
- For example, you may have lots of different video clips of a particular band you've been to see, along with all the clips of you and friends in the audience while you're seeing them. You may want these putting in to one film so you can watch it as such.
- Or you may have an audio project where the instruments have been recorded in chunks, but you need them as one file to send them off for mixing.
- This works for both audio and video.
- If it's video that you're having edited and the audio is part of the video, then you only have to pay for video editing.
- The final price will depend on how many edits overall there are.
Noise Reduction
- Remove any type of noise from a track (or reduce it, if it's too damaged).
- Audio - Clicks, pops, crackles, hiss etc.
- Video - Visual noise which appears as unwanted digital grains, especially in the shadows and darker areas, but also across the entire spectrum.
- The price for video is done on a scene by scene basis. A scene is a shot that is in a continual location.
- Admin charges will apply if the editing required is only minor. The admin charge will cover the cost of uploading and downloading the project and communicating with the customer. If the editing is part of a larger project, then this will already be covered.
Colour Enhancement Video
- Add a little life and vibrancy to old or poorly filmed footage.
- The price for video is done on a scene by scene basis. A scene is a shot that is in a continual location.
- Scene that repeat throughout the video will only incur a minimal cost.
- Admin charges will apply if the editing required is only minor. The admin charge will cover the cost of uploading and downloading the project and communicating with the customer. If the editing is part of a larger project, then this will already be covered.
Terms and Conditions
Payments
- Prior to any project being undertaken, you will be provided with an agreement, that you will need to date and sign (online or on paper).
- Unless otherwise stated, a minimum 50% deposit will need paying up front, before any work is carried out on your project.
- Some projects will require a 100% deposit. This will be specified at the bottom the the relevant service page.
- The remaining 50% must be paid before the final ‘un-watermarked’ project is sent you.
- Full payment must be made immediately upon completion of the project (revisions can be made up to 30 days after that time).
Watermarks are used for approval
- Projects that have not been paid in full, that are sent for approval, will be ‘watermarked’.
- If it’s a video project, then an actually watermark will be on screen.
- If it’s an audio project, that ‘watermark’ will either take the form of an audio sound occurring at points throughout, or it will take the form of a snippet of the project, where only the relevant part of it will be sent.
- If you have paid a 100% deposit up front, all watermarks are removed. You will receive all updates without any watermarks embedded.
How many revisions are included?
- A total of two revision requests are included in the price.
- Each request could contain any number of alterations.
- Revisions are claimed after the finished project and within 30 days.
- Further revisions after the two allowed or that time period will be charged, either at studio rates or as a fixed price as stated in the information found at the bottom of the relevant services page.
