During this editing workshop we were taught about some new tools as well as modifying different audio channels. We were given four clips and had to modify the audio channels in order to find the clearest one to use, to start with it seemed very complicated but then the more that I practiced it the easier it got, and this will be useful for when recording using clip mics and trying to find the different recordings as most cameras record up to four channels.

Edit Workshop
