Here\u2019s how to fix noisy audio and video in no time at all.<\/h2>\n<p><em>Top image via Shutterstock.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re in the business of editing or shooting, noisy footage is one of the most frustrating roadblocks you can encounter in your workflow. Though you can\u2019t make the footage picture perfect, you can improve the quality of video and audio enough to where the audience won\u2019t notice it. The magic of filmmaking always lies behind the scenes in post-production. Here are a few simple steps to follow for correcting noisy audio and video in Premiere Pro.<\/p>\n<h3>Cleaning up Noisy Video<\/h3>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N3b1uehPKMU?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So for this quick fix we\u2019ll be working in After Effects. So, select the clip you want to work on, right click and hit \u201cReplace with After Effects Composition.\u201d This will open up After Effects. Then, go to \u201cEffects\u201d and select \u201cRemove Grain.\u201d Drag this onto your composition and then go to the \u201cEffects Controls\u201d for the \u201cRemove Grain\u201d effect. This is where you\u2019ll be able to increase the \u201cde-noising\u201d of the clip by increasing the \u201cPasses.\u201d I suggest playing around from here to see what looks best for your clip.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/replace\/7cdd0e8c48382acb3b48c9984bcd6766.jpeg\" alt=\"How to Clean up Noisy Video and Audio in 30 Seconds\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve done this, the composition will automatically sync in Premiere Pro, so you can keep editing. This effect is render-heavy so you might want to render out once you\u2019ve done this (depending on how long your edit is). If you\u2019re still having trouble playing the clip in Premiere Pro, export the clip from After Effects then bring it back into Premiere. This should do the trick.<\/p>\n<h3>Clean up Noisy Audio in Premiere Pro<\/h3>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-ZsSWltYFGs?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So instead of working in After Effects, this time we\u2019ll be moving our intended clip over to Audition. Once you\u2019ve opened Audition take the \u201cTime Selection Tool\u201d and select a piece of the track that is just room tone (no dialogue). To do this you can just click and drag out the section of the clip you want. Now go to Effects&gt;Noise Reduction\/Restoration&gt;Capture Noise Print. What this does is take the piece you\u2019ve selected and identifies background noise. That way it can remove the sound from the rest of the clip, but not the dialogue.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/replace\/06989d1f69792554aba09dc3f7a825b5.jpeg\" alt=\"How to Clean up Noisy Video and Audio in 30 Seconds\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, click anywhere on the timeline, then go back up to Effects&gt;Noise Reduction\/Restoration,\u00a0and hit Noise Reduction(process). This is where you\u2019ll begin to play with the reduction of the noise. You can increase or decrease the amount of noise reduction, or play with the decibel levels. It\u2019s entirely your choice. Just play around with it enough so that your clip sounds the way you want it to.\u00a0Once you\u2019ve successfully removed the noise, send the clip back to Premiere by hitting \u201cCommand+S.\u201d This will place the altered clip right back into your timeline as it was before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for audio clean-up tips for Premiere Pro or After Effects?
