Why Use Smart Media Cutter?

Smart Media Cutter is a user-friendly tool that allows you to clean up your audio tracks without the need for expensive software. Whether you’re dealing with fan noise, traffic sounds, or other unwanted background noise, this tool can help you fix it in seconds. Plus, it’s free to use with no need for signups or subscriptions.

Step-by-Step Tutorial: Removing Background Noise

Step 1: Open Your Video in Smart Media Cutter

  • Start by opening your video in Smart Media Cutter. This software is great for simple edits and quick fixes like background noise removal.

Step 2: Go to the Export Section

  • Once your video is loaded, head straight to the export section. Since we’re focusing on cleaning up the audio and not making other edits, you can skip straight to this step.

Step 3: Enable Mixed Track Export

  • In the export options, enable the “mixed track export” feature. This allows you to access the background noise removal option.

Step 4: Choose the Track to Clean

  • If your video has multiple audio tracks (like a microphone track and a separate desktop audio track), you’ll need to select which track to clean. In most cases, you’ll want to remove noise from the microphone track to keep your voice clear.

Step 5: Wait for the Background Noise Removal Timer

  • If you’re using the trial version of Smart Media Cutter, a pop-up will appear asking you to wait for 10 seconds before you can use the background noise removal feature. Don’t worry—just wait for the timer, and you can continue without any cost.

Step 6: Activate Background Noise Removal

  • After the timer ends, click “Continue,” and the background noise removal will be active. Now, your audio will be processed to remove unwanted noise.

Step 7: Export Your Video

  • Once the noise removal is complete, go ahead and export your project. Your video will now have much cleaner audio, free from distracting background noise.

Pro Tip:

To get the best results, make sure any background sounds you want to keep—like music or desktop audio—are recorded on a separate track. This ensures you only remove unwanted noise from your microphone track, keeping your final output sounding exactly how you want.

  • No Signup: You don’t need to create an account or sign up for anything.
