Learn to use the native audio enhancement feature in Firefly video editor (beta) to reduce background noise and improve voice clarity in your video projects.
Enhance audio uses AI to improve audio quality by isolating speech, music, sound effects, and background noise. You can use Enhance audio directly in the Firefly video editor (beta) to refine audio without leaving your workflow. Adjust speech, background noise, music, and sound effects with simple sliders to achieve clear, balanced, and professional-sounding results.
Apply audio enhancement to your clip
Open the Properties panel by selecting the Properties icon from the right rail.
Toggle Enhance audio at the bottom of the panel.
Note
Processing may take a few minutes, depending on the clip length and your internet connection. Results vary based on the original audio quality- clearer source recordings produce better enhancement results. Enhancement is only supported for clips up to 30 minutes in duration. If you select a clip longer than 30 minutes, a notification appears indicating that the action isn’t supported.
Adjust the speech and background levels using the sliders below the preview section:
- Speech enhancement: Controls the level of enhancement applied to isolated speech or dialogue. Move the slider left to reduce enhancement or right to increase clarity and prominence.
- Music: Controls the volume of music added in the clip. Move the slider left to decrease the music level or right to increase the music presence.
- Sound effects: Controls the volume of sound effects (example: walking, crunching leaves underfoot) in the clip. Move the slider left to reduce sound effects or right to make them more prominent.
- Noise: Controls the loudness of background noise. Move the slider left to reduce background noise or right to increase background sound.
Preview your adjustments by playing the clip in the viewer or timeline.
Tip
Use moderate speech enhancement for natural-sounding results. If your recording has heavy background noise, reduce the Noise slider significantly, Sound effects and Music moderately, before increasing Speech enhancement.
Select Enhance to save your changes to the clip.
Once the enhancement is applied, you can adjust or remove it by returning to the Properties panel and modifying the sliders or toggling off Enhance audio.
