Noise Reduction filter request

[Hudson555x]

@Oulik

add a Noise reduction Filter for the sound, to suppress the roaring of the wind. In my opinion a lot of people will benefit from this, because noise because of the wind is a common occurrence.

@Steve_Ledger

Have you considered buying a ‘dead-cat’ for your recording device?

I definitely agree with @Steve_Ledger on this one. Preventing as much wind noise as possible will help you out post production.

@Francois_C

fix the audio in Audacity then import the “clean” audio into Shotcut.

I also agree with @Francois_C with using Audacity for fixing the current files you currently have. Audacity is really great at fixing audio, where just a generic filter will not fix issues such as deafening wind noise which may or may have not completely ruined the audio. I do suggest at least trying out Audacity with a few files. 250 does seem daunting.

But having fixed the currently damaged audio the right way is so much more pleasing than trying to band-aid bad audio with just one generic filter.

(funny editing story)
I’m someone who spent 6 hours with 4 other volunteers to film a very important public meeting, I had all of the right set up, hair lights correct, camera angles right, people zoomed in time every time I needed them, but the main mixing board I plugged into was bad, and only had one independent camera with a live mic outside the mixing board. Linear editing in 2000. I tried everything to fix the audio with the lone camera mic. Spent close to 40 to 50 hours trying edit that audio, with linear equipment. That meeting never seen the light of day.
