audible effect, so you should make changes in small
amounts then pause to check if there is an improvement.
Noise reduction: When a camcorder is used outdoors
with the actors distant from the microphone, the
“source noise” may be very high, and to make matters
worse the internal noise of the camcorder may be
amplified to intrusive levels. If a lapel microphone
connected to the line input of the camcorder were used
when taping the scene, however, the source noise could
be quite low. Adjust this control to match the noise
conditions of the actual signal.
Fine tuning: This controls the amount of cleaning to
be used. It is only needed when the Noise reduction
level is low, since at higher levels the noise has already
been eliminated.
Auto adapt: When this option is checked, the filter
automatically adjusts to changes in the type or amount
of noise in the clip. The Fine tuning is not used when
Auto adapt is active.
Remove wind: This checkbox engages a filter that
reduces wind noise and similar unwanted background
sounds in the audio clip.
Note: The Noise reduction filter will help with a wide
range of material, but it is not a panacea. Your results
will vary depending on the original material and the
severity and nature of the problems.
