We're in the process of finishing an independent film... however, we've come across a few instances where the audio is clipped.
How acceptable is clipping? As a sound/music guy I hate it- it makes me sick. However, we had a very slim budget, and I also realize that I am quite bias because I've heard the clipped scenes so many time.
Does anyone know of examples where independent films have been successfully distributed in spite of clipped audio? Also, what is the best way to cover up clipped audio? I have access to Adobe CS 5.5 & Adobe After Effects. What would you do in our shoes w/2 weeks before our due date, probably no hopes for reshoots, and the programs that we have at our disposal?
