What do you do?
If the audio came straight from the camera your issue maybe that it is to low? or just sound bad? Of course when you are filming a dialogue scene and the actors are distances from the camera the audio will be to low and will cause your videos to be unprofessional sounding.
Unfortunately there isn't any way to fix videos that you already created but if you want to have better audio in your videos you are going to need a external recorder, Also known as a Field Recorder. If you are looking for a cheap fix. I would recommend a product call Zoom H1 recorder.
There have been newer products made from Zoom but this is the cheapest option for a indie film maker.
Its about $99. and is very effective solution. It uses mini SD storage.
TO USE:
You record your audio separate from your camera internal mic and later replace the camera track with your zoom H1 audio in editing.
You can use the built in mic or you can plug in your own to the line in option. its very simple to use. You just press the red button on the front to start your recording. Once you have recorded your clips and have transferred them to your computer you will need to import them into your editing program.
Mute your original audio track that was recorded from your camera.
To get the audio to sync properly the best way would be to use a clapper when you record your video and audio.
When you are filming your video you use the clapper at the beginning of the video and later in editing when you see the clapper on the video you sync it to the clapping noise in your zoom audio file. Once its lined up correctly, you can trim the beginning of your video.
Some benefits when using the Zoom H1 is that you can put it on a boom pole and hold it close to your actors.
The mic is very sensitive so you are also able to get sound effects that you can't with the internal mic on your camera. if your using the headphones you can listen to the sound while your recording.. so later there are no surprises in editing.
