It’s been known that people will sit through bad video much longer than they will sit through bad audio. For this reason, capturing great audio is invaluable to the process of making a video. Unfortunately, audio is often considered to be something that can easily be fixed in post production. Video producers have had to learn the hard way that there is no substitution for properly recorded audio.

To help you capture the best audio possible, Videomaker’s Audio for Video Webinar covers types of mics and their pick-up patterns, which mics are the best fit for each situation and tips on how to capture quality audio every time you shoot.

In addition to valuable information, our Audio for Video Webinar will also include a live Q&A segment; our team answering your questions. Videomaker’s Audio for Video Webinar starts at 11:00 AM (Wednesday, October 20^th), so be sure to sign up soon!
