 Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here. I want to do a video today about how you can use two open source softwares in conjunction, one being the CadenLive video editor, the second being Audacity in order to improve the noise in your video. So obviously CadenLive does have a number of built-in audio correction tools, but it's missing some things very notably the noise reduction tool. There's a couple more there as well. So if you want to take advantage of using or you just prefer using an audio editor, then here is a workflow that you can use to use these two tools in conjunction. So let's take the example of noise reduction. I just jumped into CadenLive and I shot this a few second clip of my wife picking out a bottle of wine a few days ago. This is what happens when you marry to somebody learning video. You become a constant test subject. So here is the video clip. Now you might be able to see or hear that there is between these kind of bursts of speech here where I'm asking questions and my wife is responding once there is you know a lot of chatter in the store and there is the store is playing some music as well. So let's say I wanted to improve upon this audio slightly. So what you can do is firstly I'm going to ungroup. So let's just say we're gonna we're gonna apply an audio for the sake of comparison. What I'm going to do is firstly ungroup the video and audio here and I'm going to duplicate the video and not duplicate the audio. So we're going to lay out our timeline like this and see this is just for the sake of comparison in this video if we can improve on that audio. So the first thing is in the clip bay if you right click there is a extract audio button and you can extract audio the default profile here is a 48,000 Hertz WAV file. So I'm going to click on that and once I do it's just pulled out the audio. Now the question is if you want to open this up in audacity where is that located? Well if you just kind of hover over it you can see the path. For me it's in the exact folder where this clip originated. So that's the default behavior in Caden live. If this clips in this location and you can see that it's in basically the exact same folder as in MP4 then it's going to generate that extracted audio file in the same folder. So now you're going to pop into audacity and open this clip up. Okay I've jumped into audacity here and this is basically the same file that was just pulled out of Caden live. So what you can do here is just do any edit you want. Now I mentioned that you can if you want to do editing work in audacity and not just not just noise reduction because there's a lot more that you can do with audio in audacity. You can even do some of the things. I mean you can apply a fade in and a fade out, fades within Caden live itself but you might prefer to work in audacity for whatever reason. But the most common one as I mentioned was noise reduction. So you know you can do that and reduce the background noise. That's what I'm going to do now and see if that works. If you don't know how to do that there are separate tutorials, loads of tutorials on YouTube about that. But do anything that you want in audacity. I'm not actually going to do something now and then you can just export this back to the clip in. Now unfortunately Caden live lacks the feature whereby the project bin or a folder in the project bin will automatically sync so that when you create a new file in that folder it's automatically in your Caden live library. So you have to do this manually. You're going to have to export each clip from audacity after you make your improvements and then import that into Caden live. So it's a little bit tedious but that's those these are the areas where Caden live is a little bit limited. So do that firstly and then jump back to your timeline in Caden. Okay so I'm back in Caden live. Now I've exported this modacity. So I'm just going to drag this into Caden live and you can see now that I have two audio clips in my project bin. One is Hannah in drink store noise reduce web and this is Hannah in drink store 001. So this is when I pulled out of the timeline and this is the this is a clip after I've applied the noise reduction in Caden live. Now you can even see just looking at those audio waveforms if I bring myself back down a little bit here you can see this is the original audio as we got it with the video clip. This the bits between the verses speech are is the background noise and this is after Caden live you can see we still have those. So I told audacity I just dragged some some background noise between the verses speech and told it to focus on those and reduce those. So I'm going to play back the clip now you can be the judge of how well it works. Who's Hannah buying wine? Tell us a wine story. Wine story. Who's Hannah buying wine? Tell us a wine story. Wine story. Thank you guys for watching there's a lot you can do in order to improve your audio if you're using Caden live and audacity together.
