This is when you have had to crank the audio on a Canon DSLR camera (not ideal but the reality sometimes).

Thank you!

You need to place your clip on the timeline, select it, then click the “filter” tab, then press the “+” icon , then you can search for the filter by typing “noise…”
However, this Noise gate filter was only introduced in version 19.12 (December 2019), which is easily downloadable from here:

As an alternative, you could

1. Import your footage into Shotcut. Detach the audio so it appears on an audio track.
   2 Export as an mp3. Close Shotcut.
2. Open the mp3 in Audacity.
3. Apply Noise reduction in Audacity. Export. Give it a new name.
4. Re-import the new audio file into SC to replace the original.
