Question

Repair a choppy recording

Hello friends!

I got a video recording I have to edit and the audio is...OK. But it kind of stutters and chops like it was recorded with pretty bad latency or a slow computer. I don't want to ask for another recording since they did an excellent performance and the audio isn't a deal-killer.

 

But it drops to almost silent at several points throughout, making the whole thing sound rough, choppy, and stuttery.

Any chance to intelligently repair those tiny little gaps? I'm looking for the opposite of noise reduction I guess!

I'm afraid that there's no software available anywhere that guesses what is in small breaks and then recreats it using the same voice. Basically, if you have gaps, or stuttering, chopping, anything like that - then you are short of information, and I'm afraid that's unfixable.

    Thanks - I figured. But a part of me is hoping that with everyone talking about AI, someone will say "Hey! There's this experimental new plugin."

      Yes - it's easy to imagine that things that seemed impossible years ago can now happen, or might be able to in the future. But this is like curing distortion - no original reference, so no accurate (or even inaccurate) fix. And that won't alter either.

       

      I'd go back and ask them what else they've got...
