- If you start to edit too soon, before you've organized your workspace, you will undoubtedly run into trouble later down the line. This video addresses some of the issues you will face as you plan your editing universe. For much more on getting started see Chapters 7 and 10 of the book "Dialogue Editing for Motion Pictures - A Guide to the Invisible Art - 2nd Edition" by John Purcell - Focal Press

Remember, the most important part of the job is getting it done!
reading your book now John really enlightening now even many years later. thanks
@@Doty6String Hi Alex. Thanks for your note. The book and I are not as young as we once were, but it's a pleasure to know that we can still offer some help. Good luck.
I been in a sound production class for 13 weeks I have had a hard time understanding this from my instructor your videos are so helpful and easy to understand thank you.
Learning is a funny thing: you never know what will work. I'm glad that this helped. Now go to your instructor and tell him/her how helpful his/her class is and how much you've learned from him/her! A little politics can go a long way. Thanks for the comment.
This series is excellent. Thanks, José!
All credits goes to John Purcell.
Thank you so much! I'm about to make the sounddesign for a graduation film and i'm quite out of practice. This will help me a lot! :)
Thanks for sharing this tutorial. As I'm a little neurotic in organizing, I developed a way to name the regions with the spoken words. It's in Logic Pro, but I'm sure I can get it to work in Pro Tools too.

Hi Jose. I told some student filmmakers about your videos. If you don't get a jump in views over the next month, I'm going back there to chop some heads!
Ja,ja. Thanks Silvie.
I hope these videos can help them to understand better our work.
Ah these videos are a god send, how you don't have more views, I don't know. I'm currently moving into sound production and specialising on the subject in University. Been using Pro Tools for a while, but it's cool to see some useful lessons and tips.
Hi AngryMetalGamer,
Thanks for your comment.
John Purcell is a very didactic person. He is clear, shows examples, and speaks with honesty, doesn't try to sell you any lie. I recommend you to buy his book. To my taste is the best book about our field.
Good luck with your studies in the University.
Didactic has a negative connotation. "Instructive" would be a suitable alternative.
Hi Benjamin. My english is very limited. So, I can't handle some subtlety. I didn't know what you point.
Sorry and thanks for your correction.
Muchas Gracias José, tienes un magnifico canal!
Muchas gracias, Polar. En este caso, has escrito tu mensaje en un video cuyo principal responsable es John Purcell.
Nosotros solo le pedimos permiso para subtitularlo. Es decir, los créditos le pertenecen.
Pero muchas gracias por tus palabras, Polar.
Jose, thanks so much for doing these videos. I'm so sick and tired of hearing low budget films with dialogue tracks full of holes, background sound that jumps levels with each cut, and all around sloppy work. These should be required viewing for anyone making any narrative film!!!
Thanks Silvie.
I think the same way than you.
Fortunately there are people who have the gift to explain our tasks in a didactical way. John Purcell is one of them.
I asked him to let me upload some of his videos in my web page.
His book is a must.
Thanks again, Silvie.
Thanks a lot Jose !!!!!!!! That's help
Hi, Khoa. All credits belong to John Purcell.
Thanks. I'm happy it was useful.
Two Questions:
The upper track "2642" is that the audio and/or video from the editor?
Also, all tracks level must be measured by the level of the reference tone?
Two Questions:
The upper most track "2642" that says Ghostmonth ProRes 422 is the audio and/or the video from what was edited?
Also the reference tone is a way of telling others that if the level of a track is higher than the reference tone, it will sound too loud/distorted?
Christian Caicedo In this demo, the topmost audio track is the sound stripped from the video during import. Any self-respecting picture will provide a guide track on the video file. This gives you a reference of the editor's and director's "vision" of the sound (maybe), and it's a very good sync reference for you. You have the option to import this sound with the picture. Do it. Lock it.
The name on the file itself is the full file name. The "2462" you see in the track name cell is just's PT's way of truncating it in order to fit in the box. Evidently, PT has decided that numbers are more important than letters (probably rightly).
The reference tone is an indication of how much headroom there is. So a -20dBFS reference means that there is 20 dB left before digital clipping. It is also used as an alignment tool to match your "internal" levels with the outside world. A -20dBFS reference will align to 0 dB VU if the chain is set up in this traditional manner (reference levels vary with location, convention, etc.). When you're working on a project with other people, a reference tone is useful to make sure you all are listening to more-or-less the same thing.
can anyone tell me how to download the software
Hi. Please tell me what software you're looking for and I'll try to help.
Hi, may I ask why is the original volume automation not included in the copy? Thanks,
In general, I don't import the volume automation. I use the editor's mix as a reference, but I don't want to inherit his/her automation. I find it much easier to start from scratch.
How can I access these demo sessions? (the video and AAF file)
Hi Marshall. When this book came out (Dialogue Editing for Motion Pictures: A Guide to the invisible, 2013) there was a companion web site that gave away all of this material. I checked today and the link is dead. I'll keep looking and let you know.
Hi Marshall. Months ago I told you I'd find the demo material. I forgot. Now I remember: cw.routledge.com/textbooks/9780415828178/demo.asp. The password is "success." (I didn't come up with that one!) Sorry about the delay. Have fun and let me know if you have trouble accessing the files.
However!!!
