    uniE608 Ambient Audio Mixing
    A cinematic highlights reel built from the client’s separate clips. I selected the best shots, stitched them into one flowing story, and focused on ambient audio—cleaning noise, layering natural sounds (wind, footsteps, city hum), and balancing levels for depth. Subtle crossfades, gentle whooshes, and room tone glue each scene together. Light color grading, smooth stabilization, and simple film-style transitions create a polished, cinematic feel—perfect for socials or portfolio use. Short caption (optional): Multiple clips, one mood. Cinematic shots + layered ambient sound for an immersive reel. 🎬🔊 video explainervideo advert animator filmdirector videoeditor audiomixing noise reduction…
