1 Choose the right software

The first step is to choose the right software for your project. There are many editing tools available, but not all of them offer the same features and functions. You should look for a software that allows you to import and edit audio, video, and image files, as well as adjust the timing, volume, and effects of each track. Some popular options are Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Audacity, and iMovie. Depending on your budget and preferences, you can choose a software that suits your needs and skills.

You can synchronize your media manually or automatically. Any software like Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve (this one has a free version) can do this job for you. If you are unsure if an app can do this automatically, consider checking about it on Google before buying the app. Nowadays it's pretty easy and fast to know if a specific software is able to do something or not. Premiere Rush is the Adobe option to edit videos on a smartphone, and iMovie is an Apple-only software. Filmora is another option available to iOS, Android, Windows, etc.

2 Import and organize your files

The next step is to import and organize your files into the editing software. You should create separate folders for your audio, video, and image files, and name them clearly. Then, you should drag and drop them into the software's timeline or project window. You should also create separate tracks for each type of file, and label them accordingly. For example, you can have one track for your voiceover, one for your background music, one for your video clips, and one for your images.

Here's a standard folder structure for video editing: Project (the editing project) Footage (everything you shot in sub-folders) Images (JPGs, PNGs, etc) Audio (Music, SFX and Dialogue) Outputs (for versions, if needed) Final (final version) Organize your files within your operational system before importing them into your video-editing software. All NLE (non-linear editing) software work with linked files. It means that everything you do inside the software doesn't affect the files on your computer. It makes your video-editing projects lighter, but it also means that the software will search the files on your drive every time you open the project. If the link is broken, the software will inform you and ask you to show where the file is.

3 Align and trim your tracks

The third step is to align and trim your tracks to make sure they sync well. You can use the software's playback and zoom functions to view and listen to your tracks in detail. You should align the start and end points of your audio and video tracks, and trim any excess or unwanted parts. You should also align your images with the corresponding audio segments, and adjust their duration and transition effects. You can use the software's markers or grid lines to help you align and trim your tracks precisely.

Always clap on the frame whenever shooting something with audio and video separated. Make sure your hands are visible and clap every time you start a new take. Also, try to start audio and video recording within a few seconds of each other, it will make your life easier to identify the clips visually. We clap on the frame because it creates a "sync moment" on every clip. You will have a peak in your waveform right at the moment your hands touch on the shot. You only have to align both, and voilà, you synched different clips manually for the first time. =)

4 Adjust and enhance your tracks

The final step is to adjust and enhance your tracks to improve their quality and appeal. You can use the software's audio mixer and effects panel to adjust the volume, balance, equalization, and compression of your audio tracks. You should aim for a clear and consistent sound level, and avoid clipping or distortion. You can also use the software's video effects and filters to adjust the brightness, contrast, color, and sharpness of your video and image tracks. You should aim for a coherent and attractive visual style, and avoid overdoing the effects.

By following these four steps, you can synchronize audio with video and images using editing software, and create multimedia content that captivates your audience. You can also experiment with different software features and options to customize your content and express your creativity.

When mixing the golden rule is: avoid peaking. Peaking makes the waveform become flat and makes you lose information (google Audio Peaking if you need to understand it better). A good (and safe) standard when editing for the web is equalizing your voice to -3 dB. If you have music playing in the background, my standard is to always have a difference of around 20 dB between the dialogue and the song. For example, if your dialogue is getting to -3 dB, your song should be getting to -20 dB to -23 dB. Keep in mind that every song is mixed differently, so you might have to use less or more than the 20 dB difference based on how "loud" the song is to you.

Always use "flat" headphones when you are editing audio. It means you should turn off any plug-ins, spatial sound settings or enhancers you might have in your system in order to have a more "neutral" audio coming from your OS. You don't have to worry too much about this if you're not editing any fancy stuff. In this case, just make sure you can hear it without headphones and you're pretty much covered. Have fun!
