Izzy Video tutorials make it easy to learn video.

Which camcorder microphone should you choose? And why not just use the microphone that’s already built into your camera?

Let’s start with this last question — (more…)

Several viewers have asked me where to get music for their videos. Music for video can be a complex issue, but it doesn’t have to be. This tutorial will give you several different possibilities.

Audio can be a big problem in your video. It’s especially challenging when you’re shooting in a room with hard floors, walls, tables, and ceilings. The sound waves bounce around and reduce the quality of your audio with echo. If you’ve ever tried to capture good audio for your video in a room with hard floors, you’ll like this tutorial. In it, I show you how to dramatically reduce (or even eliminate) echo from your audio.

This is part three of my series on shooting video with a Digital SLR, and it’s all about dealing with the bad audio capabilities of these types of cameras. I’m going to go out on a limb and make a big statement here:

If you have a Canon 5D Mark II, this episode could save you money because it might prevent you from purchasing a tempting-but-unnecessary piece of gear.

If I would have seen this video or something like it before-hand, I wouldn’t have spent the $350 it took to purchase the piece of gear I show in this tutorial.

Sometimes when you’re shooting video, you’ll end up with bad audio. Many times this results from a persistent background noise of some sort. It could be a hum, wind noise, an air conditioner, traffic, an airplane flying overhead — you get the idea. You can’t always fix these problems in post production, but sometimes you can. In this episode of Izzy Video, I’ll show you how to use a tool called “Noise Reduction” inside of Soundtrack Pro (an application included in Final Cut Studio) to reduce or eliminate unwanted background noise from your video.
