Remove speaking from video

Aegidius · 2014-11-09 13:57:04

Hello.

I would like to translate a video removing the speaking and replacing it with my one. Do you know any free Linux software that can do this job?

Thank you.

Why not split the audio from the video and merge it with a different track; any editor should be able to do this (cli included). Did you search for any tools yourself?

I do not want to remove all the audio, just the speaking trace. There are a lot of other sounds I want to keep.

Not easily accomplished unless the voice track is its own audio stream (highly unlikely).

What kind of video - is the dialog on a separate audio channel? If it is, the above still applies, many tools could do this. If the dialog is not in a separate channel then this would be virtually impossible.

You could try cutting out the frequencies of the human voice, but if there's other sounds in the same frequency range that you want to keep then you're screwed.

For stereo signals, usually, the voice is replicated equally on both channels, while the soundtrack and background effects differs slightly on the left and right channel.
Several "karaoke" tools exploit that to remove the voice using waveform invertion/sums. (subtracting the left channel by the right one would logically means remove the common thing, hopefully the voice)
However, the result quality may be not that good due to echoes and sound compression.

Ok, I'll try. If it will take too much time, I will reduce the volume and speak over it.

Thank you guys.
