The home movie you\u2019re watching goes quiet. The audio drops out, there\u2019s a nasty, noticeable jump cut. You can\u2019t show this to your family! Right? Well…<\/p>\n
Fixing Audio Issues<\/strong><\/p>\n Problems with audio are fairly common, particularly with older films. After all, you\u2019re probably not running a professional set-up with boom mics and the like. The usual audio complaints include:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By getting your movie transferred on to DVD, USB or HDD in advance, you\u2019ll have the luxury of being able to upload it to your laptop and open the film inside an editing studio, like Adobe Premiere or Avid or even Windows Movie Maker. Here you\u2019ll have total control over every frame of your home movie \u2013 from the visuals to the audio.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That means you can balance the sound levels before your big unveiling, rather than fumbling around with a remote control while apologising profusely as you turn the volume up and down.<\/p>\n For moments where you lose audio entirely, there\u2019s always the option of cutting this particular section out entirely, or adding an over-dub. This is where you add fresh audio over your existing track \u2013 whether that\u2019s music, re-voicing, or adding sound effects to hide it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Alternatively, if sound isn\u2019t a requirement, you could always opt to have us over-dub the film with some classical or easy listening music. Problem solved!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fixing Video Issues<\/strong><\/p>\n With a bit of simple editing, you can also hide any visual troubles with relative ease. And since you\u2019ve already got a master copy on DVD or USB, you don\u2019t need to worry about making mistakes with the edited version.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Typical problems with the video include:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So let\u2019s fix that!<\/p>\n You\u2019re no doubt aware of the fantastic quality of video that comes with transferring to DVD- there must have been a reason DVD killed the video star right?<\/p>\n Again, if you transfer your video to USB and put it onto your laptop, you\u2019ll be able to open it with some kind of editing software \u2013 software which specialises in correcting image faults, especially ones including lighting and colour saturation.<\/p>\n You\u2019ve heard of re-mastered editions? Well, that can be a simple case of fixing lighting problems and perfecting the colour on the screen!<\/p>\n Jump cuts are a little trickier, but what you do have several options. You could add a title card that transitions into the jump cut so the cut isn\u2019t a complete surprise, plus the video will run smoother.<\/p>\n![\"middle-aged](\"https:\/\/www.cine2dvdtransfers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Lady-filming-family-video-iStock_000002429764_Medium-1024x685.jpg\")
