Can I cancle out wind noise?
ok two questions i need answered please.
1. Im doing a project for a family friend (im doing the editing), my dad shot our friends wedding video on my canon GL1, but during the outside scenes, some of the most important ones, the guests can hardly be heard over the wind hitting the microphone, almost sure the windscrene was turned on the mic but my dad may have gone into a different shooting mode where i didnt have it activated since i mostly use easy shooting mode. anways, i was wondering if there was any way for me to eliminate this wind noise, or at least reduce it with my version of FCP that im editing in. its FCP 3 which im sure dosent help since thats a fairly old version now. so if theres any hope for me let me know plz.
2. i need to upgrade my editing software, needs to be for mac, any recomendations? thanks alot everyone

You are already using FCP…why not stick with it? FCP 5.1 is very nice, and cheap to upgrade to right now.

Wind noise is typically in the lower frequencies. If it is not drowning out the other voices you can apply a 3-band equalizer to the audio and only lower the lowest frequency (100 hz and lower) This will get most of it out, but if it is real harsh wind that blocks out voices you might be out of luck restoring the voice.

I agree…..sometimes a “low shelf” filter will work well too. Set the gain to a high negative number, then sweep the frequency back and forth during playback and you will hear when the correct frequence is reached. Plus, its a cool swooosh…..sound as you sweep.
