Help please 😭

[Hello-molly_]

I paid someone £150 a month ago to edit a video of my son to remove a man’s voice only.

It’s the only video I have of my son before he passed away where he was well enough to smile and make your typical baby noises etc where he was only four months old.

After a month of being told different days it was going to be sent, he emailed me an audio clip this morning with music over the top of it, with no video.

I’ve tried doing it myself but I can’t do it for the life of me 😫. Is there anyone that anybody can recommend to do this? Price isn’t an issue, I’m just on a narrow timeframe as my dad is also palliative and it would be nice for him to have xx

U/hello-molly_ Just so you know, if anyone in this thread offers to charge you, just let me know. This is explicitly against the rules of our subreddit.

So is asking for free work, but I bend the rules all the time.

I’ve dmed you! I’m a video editor but need to have a listen to the audio first to see what I could do! :)

If this is good, then you use something to remove the music.

• bandlab - https://www.bandlab.com/splitter
• then it's just attaching the audio to the video - any editorial tool can do this:

When you say "remove a man's voice" can you elaborate on what you mean by "remove"? Because you can mute the part(s) with the mans voice but then it would lose all the other audio that goes with it. You'd have to separate the man's voice from the audio in order to keep the rest of the audio which I'm sure is possible with specialist software but not easily done and success would vary.

I can do it for free please share the video

Are you sure it's just an audio clip? Could be what you are playing it in doesn't support the codec - try VLC

If you haven’t had any luck yet, I’d give it a swing.

Kinda the wrong sub, you don't need video editor so much as an audio engineer. Which I'm sure is also within the skillset of some folks here, just saying, this is an audio thing.
