Dialogue editor
|
|
The dialogue editor assembles, synchronises, and edits all the dialogue in a film or television production. Usually s/he will use the production tracks, that is the sound that was recorded on the set, and smooth it out in terms of volume and equalisation. If any of the production tracks are unusable they can be replaced by either alternate production tracks recorded on set or by ADR, automated dialogue replacement, which is recorded after the shoot with the actors watching their performances in a sound studio and rerecording the lines.
Once the dialogue editor has completed the dialogue track it is then mixed with the music and sound effects tracks to produce the final soundtrack.
