Step 1: Remove Background Noise

Eliminate fans, traffic, or microphone hiss in 3 steps:

 

Method 1: Auto Denoise (Quick Fix)

  1. Right-click your audio clip in the timeline.
  2. Select “Audio” > “Denoise”.
  3. Adjust the slider (start at 50% to avoid over-processing).

🔊 Pro Tip: For heavy noise (e.g., wind), use “Advanced Settings” and tweak the Low/High Pass filters.

 

Method 2: Manual EQ Adjustments (Advanced)

  1. Double-click the audio clip > Go to “Equalizer”.
  2. Lower frequencies where noise lives (e.g., reduce 0-200Hz for rumble).
  3. Boost 2,000-5,000Hz for clearer vocals.

🎤 When to Use This: Interviews, podcasts, or ASMR recordings.

 


Step 2: Add Music & Sound Effects

Filmora’s built-in library has copyright-free tracks!

 

A. Adding Background Music

  1. Click the “Audio” tab (left panel).
  2. Browse categories like “Upbeat,” “Cinematic,” or “Vlog.”
  3. Drag your chosen track below the video timeline.

B. Adjusting Volume Levels

  • Lower music to 20-30% so dialogue stands out.
  • Use “Auto Ducking” (right-click music track > “Ducking”) to auto-lower music when someone speaks.

⚠ Avoid Copyright Strikes:  Stick to Filmora’s library or use YouTube Library (for YouTube videos)

 


Step 3: Record & Edit Voiceovers

Filmora lets you record directly into your project!

  1. Click the “Microphone” icon above the timeline.
  2. Select your mic > Press “Record”.
  3. Trim pauses by splitting the audio clip (Ctrl + B).

🎙 Pro Tip: Place a pop filter on your mic or enable “De-Esser” in Filmora to reduce harsh “S” sounds.

 


Step 4: Advanced Audio Editing Tricks

1. Keyframing Volume

  • Fade in/out music by clicking the volume line and adding keyframes.

2. Speed & Pitch Adjustments

  • Right-click audio > “Speed/Duration” to create slow-mo or chipmunk effects.

3. Audio Visualizer (For Music Videos)

  • Go to “Effects” > Search “Audio Visualizer” to add sound-reactive animations.

Step 5: Export with Perfect Audio Settings

  1. Click “Export” > Choose “Custom”.
  2. Under Audio Settings, select:
    • Format: AAC (best for YouTube)
    • Bitrate: 192kbps or higher
    • Sample Rate: 48kHz

📢 For Podcasts: Export as MP3 to reduce file size.
