Add sound to your drone videos! (Sound design tutorial)

[karlo_m]

Hello fellow pilots! I’m back after a while with another tutorial!

In this one I’m showing you how to design and mix the sound in your drone videos! It’s a fairly easy process but it enhances your videos drastically!

I’m showing the process in Adobe Premiere, but the same workflow can be applied in other editing software as well! I mainly cover the concepts needed for sound design and I rush through things to get the important info as fast as possible.

The tutorial is aimed towards users who already know their way around Premiere a bit, but I’m sure you’ll be able to follow along if you’re a newbie aswell!

If there’s anything left unclear, feel free to ask in the comments of the video or here!

Enjoy!

Music overlays are ok, but mixing them with ambient sounds - breaking surf, city noises, forest sounds, waterfalls, streams and lapping lake shores can make a video so much better!!

I tried this out on this video. Near the beginning, with the gator croak, the gator splash, and the osprey call.

When I've compiled dvd slide shows into video, I've incorporated streams running, church bells and cow bells. Similarly, I've allowed street entertainers prominence in video inclusions. I soften the music track and allow the ambient sounds to prevail for a bit and then bring the music back to prominence.

It basically comes to that yeah!

No problem mate! If you’re a newbie when it comes to flying drones or editing videos, check out my other videos, most of them are oriented towards beginners!
