Sound Editing

I've been playing with the Platinum trial and I'm having trouble with editing some background noise. Can anyone tell me an easy way to edit out or tone down background noise like wind?
Thanks
Mary

While it might be such a way, it will take away a lot of the overall audio quality. Audio must get done correctly during shooting. Get a windscreen muff for your microphone, or use an external mic, and if your camcorder does not have a mic input, buy one that does. To avoid wind, you need a good mic with a good windscreen muff. The software-based "windscreen" does not really work.

Eugenia is right as far it's best to capture good quality audio from the start, but living in a very wind enviornment myself, I know that isn't always possible. There is a free audio program called 'Audacity' that is pretty easy to use, and can help quite a bit. Let us know. Cin

I have a Sony video camera with the blue tooth microphone which works pretty well. There are just a few spots in the film that have wind noise I'm going to play with the Audacity and see if that will help. Thanks for the info.
