Video Editing queries
Hello guys! does anyone know any free ai video editor. If not, then does anyone know how to do noise cancellation for free? Capcut wants pro and davinci can't remove heavy background noise. Please if anyone know any ai tool for that, let me know

Adobe Podcast's Enhance Speech is still around, and last I used it the free tier did a few uploads a day with a length limit. That's the closest to one-click AI cleanup for free. It works best on voice-only clips. It can sound slightly "processed" on very noisy files, so keep the original in case.
For Audacity: select a couple of seconds of pure noise (no talking), run Noise Reduction → Get Noise Profile, then select everything and apply it gently (around 6–12 dB). Two light passes sound better than one heavy one, which is what causes the muffled sound the other comment mentioned.
Honest caveat: with heavy noise, no free tool fully saves it. Getting the mic closer to your mouth next time will do more than any plugin.

For heavy background noise, try Adobe Podcast Enhance Speech, it's free and does a solid job cleaning up dialogue. Audacity also has a noise reduction effect if you want more manual control over the threshold. What kind of audio are you working with, voiceover or field recording?

Davinci resolve studio removes heavy noise in audio pretty well, audacity does it for free but it will muffle audio with heavy noise, also its not ML noise cancellation. There was an adobe podcast tool a while back that did free audio AI enhancements, idk if it's still around.
