Hoot Studios - Audio Post Production

31/07/2025

📱Once a podcast episode is fully mixed and approved, we often extract short social media clips to help clients promote key moments.

In this video, we’re taking comments and timecodes directly from Frame.io and jumping into Avid Media Composer to create 9x16 vertical exports, ready for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.

🖼 Using the “Mask Image” effect in Media Composer, we crop the frame to focus on whoever’s speaking — giving the clip a clean, vertical look while keeping the audio synced from the final Pro Tools mix.

🎯 It’s a fast, efficient workflow that keeps social content on-brand, high quality, and tailored for each platform.

Need help turning your podcast or video content into standout social clips? Drop us a message — we can help.

Congratulations to Rhys Young for the final mix and deliverables & a big thank you to the team at redmountain_films for trusting us with this project.

🎬 It’s been a busy few weeks here at Hoot working across some brilliant podcast, TV, and film projects — and we’re excited to show you a bit of what’s been going on behind the scenes.

In this clip, we’re pulling together an edit for one of our latest podcast video productions.

▶️ Using a Blackmagic Design Multiview 16, we synced 3 ISO camera feeds with 3 mic WAVs recorded in Pro Tools — all aligned with a good old-fashioned clap. Everything is then multigrouped in Avid Media Composer, which gives us the flexibility to build the edit quickly based on who’s speaking.

🎥 Camera cuts follow the speaker, and any slip-ups or edits are disguised using the wide shot. Once the full cut is assembled, we upload it to Frame.io for client review and notes.

🎧 After that, it’s over to Pro Tools for the dub — and here’s where Media Composer’s ‘Export to Pro Tools’ feature really shines. It streamlines our workflow and keeps everything moving efficiently toward final delivery.

📩 If you’re producing a podcast or need end-to-end post-production for your video content, we’d love to hear from you.

📸 Just your average day at the studio… lying next to a foley pit with some sand!

We’re deep in the world of foley for an upcoming short film—and yes, we love getting a little silly in the name of sound. Whether it’s sand scrapes, fabric rustles, or weird mouth noises (you know the ones), we’re always looking for fun, inventive ways to bring a scene to life.

Sound is half the story—and this is the part where we get messy.

🎙️✨ Foley magic by the Hoot Studios team.

It's been a pleasure working with the team at Red Mountain Films on this feature documentary about Olympiacos football club in their centenary year. It's full of energy, history and some great footballing moments.

The documentary is due to be broadcast on MEGA TV in Greece this evening. We're also re-mixing it for an up-coming Amazon Prime release & creating a theatrical mix for screenings.

Thanks to everyone who's worked on the audio post and especially to Rhys Young here at Hoot.
