Hey there,
Just wanted to ask this question here: What are your thoughts on using a reference video while making/editing your own DIY music videos and how can one go about setting it up in a video editing software?
In audio, it seems like a very common practice to use a reference mix while mixing one's songs in order to make the "right" decisions with regards to things like relative levels, compression, brightness or dullness, loudness, wetness, etc (especially common if one is a relatively inexperienced or a new mixer not fully confident about his/her abilities and/or monitoring environment) Does the same concept apply to video editing as well? Would it be applicable to use a reference video in a similar way in order to make the "right" choices with regards to things like color, contrast, brightness, clip speed, clip duration, etc?
I'm currently in the process of creating/editing my own DIY music video and I am not feeling very confident about the editing choices that I'm making. Also, if using a reference video is indeed applicable, is it even possible to set it up in a video editing software in order to make side-by-side comparisons as one would do with an audio reference mix? For instance, wouldn't two videos play at the same time? (I know in an audio DAW one can mute or solo the mix or the reference to only hear one or the other.
Furthermore, while using an audio reference mix, it is advisable to have the volume/loudness of the reference match with the mix before making any mixing decisions based on the reference. What should one match between the reference video and one's own video before making video editing decisions based on the reference? I would love to hear your opinions on this matter! Thanks.
