Audio filters
Wondering if anyone can give me suggestions on using FCP audio filters. I admit, I know nothing about audio besides adjusting levels. Some footage I’m working on has an inherent crackling throughout, not in the transfers, it’s in the original footage. I’ve been playing with the audio filters, but can’t figure out which one might lessen background crackle. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Lynne,
Noise removal is next to impossible within FCP. You need SoundSoap or Soundtrack Pro.
SoundSoap is pretty easy to use, but don’t let it go too far, same with soundtrack, in which you can sample the noise where it is by itself and remove much of it.
There’s a tutorial movie on the new features page for FCP Studio 2.
Sadly though, some noise cannot be removed by these without making the voice sound tinny, in which case you need to go to an audio house. I recently cleaned up a 5 minute show at a place with Pro Tools and it only took an hour, pretty cheap fix. You can output an OMF file for them.
Have a wonderful day.

Chris, I’m in a time crunch which is why I wasn’t considering a studio fix, but you’ve spurred me on to try and get it done at a place I know. Thanks!
