Edit audio from wedding video - File formats

[the1chemist]

Im really struggling to edit this video of my sisters wedding..
All I want to do is remove the audio noise (wind) slightly so that the people speaking are clearer..

The Video was filmed on a Sony HD cam.
Media format is .mts
Which (free if possible) programm will I be able to use?

Im not very clued up on audio and video edditing programs and something simple would be prefered.

Any help/suggestion would be much apreciated

Simple and free are kind of mutually exclusive in this case.

If you can finish this project in less than 30 days, download the free trial of sony vegas movie studio. It will handle your footage natively and has excellent audio filters. There's a learning curve, but it really won't get any simpler than this.


Otherwise with free tools you will be demuxing your ac3 audio, converting it to wav, modifying it in audacity (or some such) remuxing it either before or after you import it into an NLE for edting... you get the idea.

Thanks. I've tried it with audacity, but said it couldn't edit advanced audio codecs..
Will give sony movie studio a try

There's a free AC-3 plugin for Audacity. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_installation_and_plug_ins.html#ffdown
