One of the most overlooked yet critical aspects of trailer editing is music selection and syncing. A common mistake is choosing a soundtrack that doesn’t match the tone or pace of the trailer, leading to a disjointed viewing experience. Poor synchronization between visual transitions and audio cues can disrupt the overall flow and impact. Editors fail by not leveraging music to build suspense or highlight critical moments. Ensuring the music enhances rather than clashes with the visuals creates a more captivating trailer. Avoiding these common mistakes ensures the music serves as an emotional and rhythmic backbone, drawing viewers into the story.
