🎙️ Audio to Video Workflow SOP

Goal: Efficiently create polished videos starting from recorded or AI-generated audio (voiceovers) to upload-ready video files.

Step 1: Prepare & Edit Audio

  1. Record your voiceover or generate AI TTS audio with clear pronunciation.
  2. Import the audio file into audio editing software (Audacity, Adobe Audition).
  3. Remove background noise and normalize volume levels.
  4. Cut out mistakes, long pauses, and breaths.
  5. Apply equalization (EQ) and compression for clarity and consistency.
  6. Export the final clean audio as WAV or high-quality MP3.

Step 2: Collect Visual Assets

  1. Gather related video clips, images, animations, or stock footage.
  2. Create or source relevant graphics like titles, lower thirds, logos.
  3. Organize assets into folders for easy access in video editing software.

Step 3: Create Video Timeline

  1. Open your video editor (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro).
  2. Import your cleaned audio and visual assets.
  3. Place the audio track on the timeline as the base.
  4. Arrange video clips and images to sync with the audio narration.
  5. Add smooth transitions between clips or images.
  6. Insert titles, captions, and branding elements as needed.

Step 4: Enhance Audio & Video

  1. Adjust audio levels to ensure voiceover is clear over background music or effects.
  2. Add background music at low volume to enhance engagement.
  3. Color correct video clips or images to ensure visual consistency.
  4. Check for any sync issues and correct them.

Step 5: Export & Review

  1. Export video with recommended settings (H.264 codec, 1080p or 4K resolution).
  2. Watch the full video to check for any errors or quality issues.
  3. Make corrections if necessary and re-export.

Step 6: Upload & Optimize

  1. Upload the video to YouTube or your platform of choice.
  2. Add descriptive title, keyword-rich description, tags, and custom thumbnail.
  3. Set video category and relevant playlists.
  4. Enable monetization and any other advanced settings.
  5. Publish or schedule for release.
💡 Tip: Maintain consistent branding and style across videos to build your channel identity and audience trust.
