If I was to do this, I would probably just export the project (finished video) from the Movie Edit Pro a file that I could use in the other software.

I haven't used Audacity, so I couldn't really comment on that much. I do use the Audio Cleaning Lab from Magix, and have been pleased with those results for restoring audio.

Hi,

Just separate audio from video track, export the audio file and use Audacity to clean the ausio track. Save as the file. Import in Magix.

Audacity is much better than the cleaning function inside Magix video software.

Regards,

Thanks guys

Yvon-Robert, that works perfectly!

John-Auvil, try Audacity! It’s so simple, lightweight and free,  and the result is much better than Magix own DeNoiser.

Edit: John-Auvil, now I see that you use Magix seperate audio software, then Audacity is probably not better. Well, I don't know. I was talking about the built-in function in Movie Edit Pro.

I will take a look at it... eventually, but;

I rarely use the integrated noise reduction in Movie Edit Pro, mainly because I rarely use the audio from any of my cameras. My audio recordings (voice) are using a external stereo microphone (Olympus LS-100). The recording takes from the camera is only used for alignment of the separate audio material, it is deleted once I have aligned the separately recorded material.

I normally will import this separate audio material into the Audio Cleaning Lab to produce a noise print (which is taking a section of the sound where there is either no music or voice) and I use that noise print to filter out the room noise. This leaves me with a cleaner sound. Once I have finished using the Audio Cleaning Lab or for layering the Samplitude product, I will export that file to be used in Movie Edit Pro where I align it, then delete the original camera audio.

To align, I use a clap or loud snap at the time of recording so both the camera and the external microphone pick up the sound. This gives me a snap point for alignment.

I am still from the camp of... if its not broken, don't fix it. But, with that said, I always am intrigued how others create their projects.

The noise print procedure is what you do in audacity too
