    Hey all,
    Attached is an extremely small and brief video to point out the kind of clicks I'm referring to. The most obvious click is in the second segment, when the actress says "reTurn". The click is right on the "T". The first segment has some clicking too though. The sound of the character smacking the newspaper seems a bit too "clicky". These kinds of clicks occur every now and then throughout the film. It's very irritating.
    Thanks

  2. You'll need to extract the audio from the video, import it into a audio editing program such as Adobe Audition.
    I've tried on the audio from the file, but the result are dulled clicks rather than completely removed.

  3. Audacity (free) has automated click removal (reduction) too. You can get better results doing it manually, marking each click and reducing the volume. But that's a lot of work if there are many clicks.

    Well there aren't too many, so I'll probably do it manually. I also tried Audition, but with poor results.

    UPDATE:
    I didn't mention that this is VHS data I'm referring to. I don't want to say a "rip" because it's not. I sent the tape to be converted completely uncompressed in both audio and video. Yes, the result is an external hard drive I needed delivered in order to hold it all. Anyway...
    I looked at the waveforms and noticed that the pops only occur on the right channel. So, as an amateur (yet very effective) technique, I merely copied to "popped" moments from the clean (left) channel, muted the right and mix-pasted from the left. Yes, it does mean that for the brief second a pop occurs, the mix becomes mono, but I still find it acceptable. It works much better than the pop/click tools that Audition has, which do pretty much nothing.

    That should work fine. Depending on the nature of the audio surrounding the pop you might copy a prior or later section from the same channel.
