Film And Audio Post-Production Practice Test

What term describes a rough mix quickly assembled to support a picture edit that is not yet locked?

Telecine Tail Pop Temp Dub Tri-Level Sync

Correct Answer:

Temp Dub

Explanation:

A temporary dub is used here. When an edit isn’t yet locked, editors and sound teams quickly assemble a rough audio track to test how the picture feels with sound. This provisional mix, often called a temp dub, uses placeholder music, dialogue timing, and basic effects so the edit can be reviewed and refined without committing to the final soundtrack. The other terms refer to different technical processes (telecine is film-to-video transfer, tri-level sync is a sync signal standard, and tail pop isn’t the standard term for this practice), so they don’t describe the practice of a quick, provisional audio mix for an unfinished cut.
