Clean up every clip’s audio automatically: background noise removal, echo reduction, and consistent loudness — without changing the clip’s timing.The Enhance Audio node is an editing action for sources recorded outside a studio — laptop mics, echoey rooms, background fans, or uneven speaker volumes. It rewrites each clip’s audio track with an AI-enhanced version while leaving the video and all timing untouched, so subtitles, transcripts, and overlays stay perfectly in sync.
Schema
- Input: Clips from an upstream node (typically Find Clips)
- Output: The same clips with studio-quality enhanced audio
Add the node
Open Workflows from the left sidebar and click New to open the workflow builder. Add a trigger and a Find Clips node first. In the Editing stage, choose Enhance Audio. Overlap adds the action node to the canvas and connects it to the workflow path. Place it anywhere after Find Clips. Since only clip minutes are processed (not the full source recording), placement after clip selection keeps processing fast.Configure the enhancement
- Studio sound — Removes echo and room reverb and boosts vocal clarity, making speakers sound close to the microphone.
- Remove background noise — Cleans up hiss, hum, fans, and other constant background sounds.
- Balance volume levels — Evens out quiet and loud speakers to a consistent, streaming-ready loudness.
- Protect music — Keeps intentional music (intro themes, music beds) out of the noise cleanup so it isn’t dulled or removed.
How it behaves
- Enhancement never cuts or shortens audio. The enhanced track is a drop-in replacement with identical duration, so every downstream timestamp remains valid.
- If enhancement fails for a clip (for example, a provider outage), the workflow continues with that clip’s original audio rather than failing the run.
- Re-running the same clip with the same settings reuses the previous result — no duplicate processing.
Enhance audio from the editor
You don’t need a workflow node to clean up a clip. Open any clip in the Studio editor, go to AI Tools in the right sidebar, and expand Enhance Audio under Video Edits. Turn Studio-quality audio on and Overlap enhances that clip on the spot. The first time usually takes a couple of minutes and the panel shows a spinner while it works; you can keep editing in the meantime.- If the clip was already enhanced — by a workflow, or by you earlier — the toggle is already on, and switching it off restores the original audio.
- If an enhanced version already exists, turning the toggle on is instant and doesn’t reprocess anything.
- The toggle changes what you hear in the editor, what you download, and what gets posted to social, so they always match.
- A few clips can’t be enhanced this way — for example clips that play directly from a long source recording. The panel says so instead of offering the toggle.
Clips enhanced before Overlap started keeping the original audio can’t be
switched back. The panel explains this when it applies.
