S6E09 - Sound and Vision

There is an old joke which goes “Audio without video is radio. Video without audio is surveillance.”. While it may be true, it also underscores the key role which audio plays in our experience when we are watching a show or an event. Audio is every bit as complex as video, but for many editors – whose key focus is the picture – audio can be a bit of a chore. This is where ESION from Acclaim Audio comes into play, using AI to enhance and streamline audio work, enabling the editor to deliver the best looking story, which also sounds great. And ESION is now available as an Extension in Media Composer.Our guests for this episode: Wayne Lappi, Acclaim Audio CEOWayne Lappi is the CEO of Acclaim Audio, his third successful company.
