Remove Camera Noise & Shakiness?

[Wayne Waag]

Okay well ill find a way to get izotope. How do i do it then?

My suggestion is to download the trial version. The module that you will probably use most often judging from just the first few seconds of the YT video is Spectral Repair. In simple terms, you can usually visually identify the noise you want to eliminate using the spectrogram. It has a variety of tools for making a selection, much like those available in Photoshop, e.g. lasso, magic wand, etc. Once you’ve made a noise selection, there are different ways that it can be processed. You’ll have to experiment to try and find the one that works best for your noise selection. Most often, I use the Attenuate or Replace. The help files in Izotope are actually pretty good. Bear in mind that reducing or eliminating noise in this manner is pretty tedious. Moreover, there are occasions when it may be next to impossible to really do a good job. For example, wind noise. Still, this is about the best set of tools around. Again, I would first try to simply replace the noise rather than filter it.

So Ive been using izotope and getting through most of the audio. I want to select the decibels of a voice being heard and raise that against the background noise but I cannot find a way to do it.. (I i dont want to reduce that background noise, just amplify the voice over it.)

On another section, I am trying to select just the decibel relating to a wind noise and lower that against voices by selecting that decibel over a few seconds and “learning” it then applying it all the way accross the audio.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to intricately work the spectral repair..

I realize those two circumstances kind of contradict eachother, but they do need to happen that way for the video to sound natural.

In the link above, this guy did it very well (i think) when removing variable wind sound around others. but i dont understand how to use the spectral graph to reduce targeted noises

Thank you very much for the help. Im really trying to get this done for christmas for my family.

im saying decibels instead of frequencies, pretty aggravated right now haha

I had forgotten about this Izotope Demo I did for someone else having a similar problem. It explains how to use Spectral Repair and Denoise in Izotope. Hopefully, it will be of use to you.

Question. Does your version of Izotope have the Dialog Denoiser. I use the automatic setting all the time for audio captured inside a moving car. You can vary the amount of noise reduction (in my case to reduce vehicle road noise) and then increase the output to increase the volume of the dialog itself.

It does. I downloaded RX5. Ill take a look at your video and hopefully get it figured out. I have messed with the dialog denoiser but again, to no real avail

wayne,

Your video tutorial did help me a lot. Now I’m sure im going to stump you. I want to create dvd menus that can be used for chapter selection but without burning an actual dvd.. So i can play it on my tv without a physical disc (I want super high quality video but my 2 hour long video is 40+ Gb) and i think 8GB is the highest dual layer disc size.

I know VLC media player and other programs can play .ISO files which is what most dvd files are but I think that would require streaming them to my tv where as I would like a standalone video file with menus..

Ever tried such a thing?

Thanks for all the help. The video came out pretty good (certainly to my liking at least). Being able to have a clean title menu and be able to skip to chapters is a bit of a cherry on top that i would like for presentation value

Glad you were able to finish it to your satisfaction. If you want to maintain quality, forget rendering to DVD. If your final HD file was 40 GB, you could author it to Blu-ray and burn it to a dual-layer disc which holds 50 GB. In that way, you could create whatever menus you like. It does require a blu-ray player.

I used to burn blu-ray discs but have gotten away from it completely, being content with the ability to stream videos to my TV and also to add chapters so I can quickly skip through them. Most of my projects, including GoPro footage are 1080 60P. My workflow: (1) render project to 1080 60P AVC using Handbrake; (2) export an XML chapter file from Vegas; (3)remux to MKV using MKVToolNix GUI adding chapter information; (4) stream MKV file from computer to Sony Blu-ray player (I have an older 2013 model); and (5) “play” the MKV file. The Sony Blu-ray player has no problem with 1080 60P footage and also supports MKV chapters.

I find that “streaming” is so much easier than using discs. If you don’t want to stream, you can always copy the MKV file to a USB drive, which also works with my Sony Blu-ray player. I might add that Blu-ray discs do NOT support 1080 60P–they only supports 1080 60i (or 50i in PAL land). If interested, I can provide additional details.

This is exactly what I want to do wayne. Like you, I would rather never touch a disk of any kind again. Im honestly surprised the medium still exists.

Anyway, I have fully rendered the video as a “MainConcept AVC/AAC (*.mp4)” file in Sony Vegas

Audio: 128kbps, 48,000 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo, AAC
Video: 29.970fps, 1920×1080 Progressive, YUV, 30Mbps, Pixel Aspect Ratio:1.000

I set a constant bit rate of 50,000,000bps

I might redo that adding “markers” for the chapter points rather than in another program. (if you suggest this i suppose)

I will download MKVtoolnix Gui if you could tell me your version and then maybe I could bang this thing out tonight!

Does this program give me the ability to add my own image as the background for the title menu and have two buttons: 1. being Play all and 2. being chapter select, which will bring me to another screen to choose which chapter or go back?

And this file that you create, is it the same file that i could put on a flash drive and plug into the blu ray player, or will i have to go through a different rendering method?

For your final delivery file, the bit rate is pretty high. Your blu-ray player may or may not play it. I’d render a small clip at that bit rate, put it on a thumbdrive or usb drive and see if it will work in your player.

I add markers in Vegas and export using Vegasaur. It has an option to export marks in the correct MKV chapter format.

I’m using the latest which is v8.6.1.

No. You misunderstood. There is no chapter menu. Chapter support simply enables to you to skip forward or backward using the Blu-ray remote.

And this file that you create, is it the same file that i could put on a flash drive and plug into the blu ray player, or will i have to go through a different rendering method?
It is the same file. There is no need to re-render from Vegas unless your bit rate is too high. I’d test it. Creation of the MKV file does not involve re-rendering. It is simply re-muxing from an MP4 container to an MKV container which supports chapters. Moreover, it is very fast–mostly copying. BTW, the MP4 container does support chapters, but the Sony blu-ray players do not recognize them–at least mine didn’t.

what bit rate would you recommend? I thought Blu-ray was capable of 54,000kbps so I chose 50,000kbps. I think my next closest option that I could lock at a constant rate was 20,000 kbps. Every time i tried to make it 30,000 or 40,000 it would snap back to the last default speed
