The most common request that you can receive from video producers is to remove the annoying noise such as rumble or hum from a finished piece of video, no matter if it is a corporate piece, a short film, a short commercial, or more. In most cases, recording high-quality audio during shooting is difficult since the dialog is commonly hard to hear or competing with the background hums from the environment, for instance, a dreaded air conditioner or fans. The background noise commonly has to be eradicated when mixing and recording sound effects or several other design elements for the video.
Fortunately, there are some methods that can be used to get rid of this background noise. You can reduce the noise by adding some background music to your video or denoise with some audio or video editing software. This article will show you how to remove background noise from video on Windows, Mac, and Online in both Free and Paid ways.
Though there is so much software you can use to remove background noise, here, we recommend you to try Wondershare Filmora. Let's go straight to the point. Here is the video tutorial about how to fix the video footage with Filmora, including how to remove the background noise in 3 ways. Check it out and download the free trial version to test.
Besides the normal audio editing tools, the newly released Filmora features improved waveforms, volume keyframing, peak metering, and audio transitions, which provides you with a higher quality audio editing experience. Here are some benefits of Removing Background Audio Noise with Filmora:
Whether you're removing the background noise from audio or a video, Filmora Video Editor can handle it easily. With this easy-to-use video editor, you can also detach the audio from the video, use the Audio Mixer or Audio Equalizer tools to edit the audio further, and then Export and save your audio as MP3 format. Below are the detailed steps.
Step 2: Right-click the video in the timeline, and then hover over the Audio option. You will see 4 options: silence detection, adjust audio, detach audio, and mute. To separate the audio from the video, select the "Audio Detach" option.
Step 4: You can also fine-tune the audio with the Equalizer feature to make the audio sounds more natural. If you want to have a better effect, just adjust the audio to fit perfectly the video frame by frame. After reviewing the result, you can click the Export to save the video with noise reduced to your computer or share it to YouTube or Vimeo directly.
But when it comes to other noises like people talking in the background, cars, birds chirping, doors slamming, foot traffic, etc. It's been nearly impossible to remove them while keeping your audio in good quality. So, we recommend masking them instead of trying to fix the issues, and just adding some background music to your video can solve this problem.
In Wondershare Filmora, you can simply drag a song or music in the Music Library into the audio track of your timeline, then edit and adjust its volume, speed, pitch. Then you can cover the background noise without drawing attention away from your dialogue.
Besides the inbuilt music and sound effects, you can also add your own music and audio file from the computer and adjust it accordingly. Then you can export and save the video with the background noise hidden in any format you like.
Audacity is a free, open-source, and professional audio editing software available both on Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can use it to record live audio, edit the audio such as cut, copy or paste tools, or do some advanced audio analysis with the Spectrogram view mode for visualizing.
And, of course, you can remove background noise from your audio file or video file with it for free. Justin Brown from Primal Video has published a video about How to Remove Background Noise in Videos a few years ago, and you can check it below.
After launching Audacity, go to the File option, and select Open or Import to import the audio or video file into Audacity. Audacity will remind you to make a copy of the audio file before editing. I think this is very caring. However, if you're importing a video file to Audacity, you may need to first download and install FFmpeg Library. Otherwise, you need to detach the audio from the video or convert the video to audio to compatible formats.
Go to the Effect tab and then select "Noise Reduction," start with the defaults, and then click on "Get Noise Profile" so that Audacity will figure out what to filter out based on your selected segment.
And then, choose the whole audio that needs to remove noise, go back to the Noise Reduction windows again, choose how much noise you want to remove, and click OK to reduce the noise. You can use the default settings. Audacity will reduce the noise automatically, and you can see the result straight away in the audio track.
Go to Effect and Amplify to fix the muffling of your audio. Click "Preview" to check whether the noise has been removed. If yes, click "OK" and then export the denoised audio to MP3, WAV, or other formats from Audacity.
If you don't want to download software to remove the background noise, you can try some online audio removers. For example, we found a free online audio remover - AudioRemover.com. It can help you remove audio from video in just 2 steps.
For those who want to denoise mobile devices, I've researched the best apps to remove background noise for iPhone and Android devices, while the frustrating news is that I didn't find a specially Denoise app, which rating 4+ or above for this task.
Most of the time, you should check if your video editing app features the Denoise function if you're editing videos on mobile. Or it's better to remove background noise on your Windows or Mac computer. Here are some apps that you can try:
1. How do I get rid of background noise from a video?
To remove the background noise from the video is easy if you are using Wondershare Filmora video editor, all you need to do is enable the Denoise option under the Audio editing panel. And the background noise such as wind will be removed automatically.
Now, you have got an audio file with noise reduced or removed. I hope you will find that it is not hard to remove background noise from the video with the solutions provided above. For those who want to make their audio more creative, try Filmora video editor to empower your imagination today.
I looked to see the frame rate and it is 60 fps. I changed the music to a .wav file instead of a .mp3. I tried disabling Parallel Processing (something I do usually). And I tried to simplify the video to be less chaotic. Still nothing.
I actually spent 9 hours editing a 3 minute video last night. Usually I just work with 1 video and 1 audio track, but this one required 4 video tracks and one audio track, because I had to edit out teamspeak chatter and I had to crop the video to hide stuff on the player HUD for a game. So there was a lot of tiny edits and the cropping apparently puts a lot of stress on my computer. So I was having to take it even farther and editing 10 seconds at a time.
I am a total newbie with the numerous settings on the R7 for shooting with video. Is there a group of settings I can use that will allow me to download a useable video that won't need color grading, CLOG3 fiddling and hours of study to get a passable clip? I am looking for something similar to JPEG if we were talking about still shots. I will be learning the complicated stuff eventually, but right now I am coming from a stills (mostly nature shots) background. In stills, I save both raw and JPEG with each shot and know how to get the look I desire. I use CLOG3 now but just don't have the time at the moment to tame something I didn't know existed.
On a related note, when I download the clips, they all show up on Windows 10 in MP4 format. Is this correct? I sort of expected something like a video version of CR3 I use the Canon EOS Utility 3, which then opens the Digital Photo Professional 4 program. For my video editing, I had been using Wondershare Filmora, but I am willing to update to Premier Pro or something else. Filmora is just what I am familiar with.
See page 374 - 376 of the User Manual. Turn off CLOG3 for starters. That will then capture video in either Wide Dynamic Range or Rec709. Rec709 would effectively be like JPEG in that it has a very similar color space (BT/Rec709 has the same colors as sRGB, just a different gamma). And you wouldn't need to grade it in post.
When I insert a movie clip into a presentation and there are other text animations in the presentation, when I export it to a movie format, the video does not play. It just jitters on the first second. The sound exports correctly, as do the text animations.
I am having the same problem. Tried all settings for an entire day, thinking it might be a subtile setting. Worked fine before is what boggled me. Now I understand it is a bug after update to 13.2. And a humongous bug I should say. The "movie export" is bust if you use embedded video or animations. I wonder how many people are struggling with this as we speak. Apple please fix asap. If only I could roll back to 13.1
This just worked for me -> exporting the Keynote file to my iPad and exporting to a movie from there. I realise that path may not be available to you, but it just dug me out of a very big hole. Hope someone may find the info useful.
