Learn to use the native audio enhancement feature in Firefly video editor (beta) to reduce background noise and improve voice clarity in your video projects.
Enhance audio uses AI to automatically improve audio quality in your video clips by isolating speech and reducing background noise. Use Enhance audio directly in the Firefly video editor (beta) to improve audio quality without leaving your editing workflow. You can use this feature to enhance voice clarity, helping speech sound cleaner and more distinct for a more polished, professional result.
Apply audio enhancement to your clip
Open the Properties panel by selecting the Properties icon from the right rail.
Toggle Enhance audio at the bottom of the panel.
Note
Processing may take a few minutes, depending on the clip length and your internet connection. Results vary based on the original audio quality- clearer source recordings produce better enhancement results. Enhancement is only supported for clips up to 30 minutes in duration. If you select a clip longer than 30 minutes, a notification appears indicating that the action isn’t supported.
Adjust the speech and background levels using the sliders below the preview section:
- Speech enhancement: Controls the level of enhancement applied to isolated speech.
- Move the slider left to reduce enhancement.
- Move the slider right to increase clarity and prominence.
- Background noise: Controls the loudness of background noise.
- Move the slider left to reduce background noise.
- Move the slider right to increase background sound.
Preview your adjustments by playing the clip in the viewer or timeline.
Tip
Use moderate speech enhancement for natural-sounding results. If your recording has heavy background noise, reduce the Background slider significantly before increasing Speech enhancement.
Select Apply to save your changes to the clip.
The enhancement applies once you select Apply. You can adjust or remove the enhancement by returning to the Properties panel and modifying the sliders or toggling off Enhance audio.
