How to Get Rid of Reverb in My Video

Taking reverb out of a video is difficult because the sound is overlapped and overlaid on the film. Reverb is common if you shoot your film in large spaces, such as churches, gyms, and pool rooms. Programs such as Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack come with a built in parametric equalizer that is used to filter audio for audio enhancement. This equalizer is also useful to minimize reverb problems.

Instructions

      Launch your film editing software and load your film into the work space.

      Click on the "Parametric Equalizer" in the workspace.

    • 3

      Pump up the gain to somewhere in between 60 and 85 percent.

    • 4

      Put the section of video that has reverb on loop and press "Play."

    • 5

      Adjust the Frequency in the Parametric Equalizer to high or low while the audio is playing. When the reverb is most high, lock the Frequency bar at that percentage and the time stamp of the video. Cut the gain to a low percentage at those frequencies.
