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.
