• D. Import footage, sync audio, color balance, rough cut, audio mix, add lower thirds and captions, export, archive

Answer: (C)

Postproduction works best when you move from bringing in all media to delivering a polished, shareable video and then saving the project for future use. Start by loading all footage and audio into the project so everything you’ll need is available. Once everything is in, synchronize the separate audio with its corresponding video so the sound matches the picture across the timeline. With synchronized media, you create the rough cut to establish the structure and pacing of the sermon, trimming away the unnecessary parts. After the edit is rough-edited, apply color balance so the footage looks consistent across shots. Then handle the audio mix to balance levels, reduce noise, and ensure clear, even sound throughout. With the audio solid and the edit in place, add lower thirds and captions to provide names, titles, and any on-screen context. Finally, export the finished video and archive the project files and media for safekeeping.
