Learn how to remove background noise from videos and audio with the noise suppression tool in Clipchamp. The AI noise suppression feature is compatible with any audio file added to the timeline. To use noise suppression on a video, just separate the audio from the video first.
How to remove background noise
Step 1. Import a video or audio asset
To use the noise suppression tool, import noisy video footage or an audio file. Click on the your media tab on the toolbar, then import a video or audio asset from your computer. You can also upload using one of our integrations like OneDrive, or Google Drive. Drag and drop your video or audio onto the timeline to begin.
Step 2. Separate audio and video
Note: If you are removing background noise from a video, you'll need to detach the audio from video.
To do this, click on your video on the timeline, then click on the audio tab on the property panel. Next, click on the detach audio button.
Your audio asset will automatically download to your device as an MP3 file and will appear on the timeline below your video. The video asset will also appear as muted on the timeline as it now has no sound.
Step 3. Use the noise suppression tool
Click on your audio asset so it’s highlighted on the timeline. Next, click on the audio tab on the property panel. Here, you can toggle on the noise suppression option to remove any background noise, sounds, and echoes.
How to turn off noise suppression
If you want to revert your audio, just toggle off the noise suppression tool inside the audio tab. You can also delete your asset on the timeline, then drag and drop the original asset onto the timeline from the your media tab.
