Remove static noise from Camtasia studio

This tutorial will teach you how to remove static noise from Camtasia studio.

When you record a screen cast with voice narration, you will sometimes hear static noise in the background after you have finished with the recording. The noise can be especially annoying if want your recorded sound to be clear and crisp. However, there is a simple solution to removing the noise with Camtasia studio which I will share with you below.

1. Open up Camtasia Studio.


2. On the Edit Panel on the left of the screen, select the ‘Audio enhancement’ link as shown below.



3. The Audio Enhancement window should appear. Locate the section called ‘Background noise removal’. Now you can either let Camtasia automatically detect the static noise, or you can define an area on the timeline. I prefer to use the automatic option as this seems to be quite accurate at detecting the noise in the audio.



4. Click the ‘Remove Noise’ button and you will see the status of the noise removal in action. After the status has turned to a green colour, you can adjust the sensitivity settings using the slider control. You also have the option of restoring the noise by clicking on the checkbox.
