Passion for CrumplePop: Insights from Video Editor Paul Diaz
Paul Diaz Relying on CrumplePop's AI-Powered Audio Plugins for Polished Video Production
Paul Diaz, an Emmy Award-winning producer/editor with over 25 years of experience in video and post-production, has found a reliable solution for common audio issues in his projects. He relies heavily on CrumplePop's audio plugins, which are designed specifically for cleaning and enhancing audio in video editing workflows.
Running his own content creation company, P23 Productions, Inc., Diaz frequently encounters issues such as background noise, inconsistent levels, plosives, and poor vocal clarity. To address these, he uses CrumplePop's suite of tools, which include DeNoise, DeReverb, PopGo, and Dialogue Match.
DeNoise is used to reduce or eliminate background noise like hum, hiss, and ambient sounds, making the dialogue clearer. DeReverb removes unwanted room echo and reverb, giving the audio a cleaner and more professional sound. PopGo tackles plosives—those harsh “p” and “b” sounds caused by bursts of air hitting the microphone. Dialogue Match ensures consistent sound throughout the edit by matching audio tone and ambiance between different clips.
Diaz finds CrumplePop's plugins effective and powerful for repairing audio issues. He appreciates the quick and effective results they provide, especially compared to other apps that require more tinkering. He also values the simple layout and the option for both subscription and perpetual plans.
In addition to CrumplePop, Diaz uses Boris FX products, including Continuum and Sapphire for transitions and visual effects. However, he has not directly used Mocha Pro. Diaz's passion for audio, which stems from his early years as a DJ, extends to his video editing work, where he uses CrumplePop plugins in a variety of editing applications, including Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and FCPX.
One notable project that benefited from CrumplePop's plugins was a project for NBC that was captured on phones due to budget restraints. Despite the less-than-ideal recording conditions, CrumplePop's tools were instrumental in cleaning the audio to produce a polished final product.
Diaz recommends CrumplePop to other video editors for its ease of use, quick results, and powerful audio repair capabilities. The tools, which are powered by AI technology, stand out in the market for their ability to address issues with noise, echo/room reverb, wind, and crackling in audio.
In the realm of video editing and post-production, Paul Diaz leverages the AI-powered audio plugins from CrumplePop to transform his lifestyle, ensuring polished audio content within his projects. The technologically advanced tools, including DeNoise, DeReverb, PopGo, and Dialogue Match, help him address various audio irregularities, such as background noise, inconsistent levels, plosives, and poor vocal clarity, all while maintaining a user-friendly interface that complements his entertainment-focused work.
