Is it possible to clean up the audio "noise" that happens on point and shoot cameras when used for video recording?

No, you will have to download a separate program to cut down background noise. Muvee will not allow you to do that within the program.

Yes, but I want to stress how little it is. I'd compare it to something like moving your mouse on a pad. Also, slower movements gives off less noise. If your only method of audio capture is on or very near your camera, it might faintly pick it up. But this is something you'll encounter with any slider, in varying degrees.

Hi John, Yes, you may turn off Optical Steady Shot/ Image Stabilization on your camcorder. Vincent

Not sure - I returned mine because it was horrible during videos - lots of noise.

Well some noise is normal and that seems to be what you have going on. If your near a computer or router or any fluorescent lights you will get some EM interference. And that is what it sounds like in your video. You can buy a cheap noise gate and set the threshold to say -75 db and that will clean all that up.

The back ground noise is SO loud. I have tried many things to make it quieter because I can't hear the voices and words over the noise. Most recently some one told me to put a piece of bread over it's speaker while recording to cut fuzz, that kind of worked but I would suggest an audio program to cut it out maybe?

The audio was great until recently. I've not used my camera all that much since receiving it as a gift about 2 years ago. I recorded less than 30 videos. But this week when I made a video after a few months of little or no use, the audio has a clicking static sound that's louder than the audio track itself. Very annoying, and it ruined birthday video shots. I checked out different recommendations to ensure the battery was fully charged, reload the system software, and it didn't help. I can only use this camera to record video and will have to create a sound track if I decide to keep it. I can make decent videos with my point and shoot digital SLR and the sound is okay on those. Too bad; until this happened I really liked my FLIP HD camera.

Thank you very much for your response. I was beginning to think I was the only one with this problem. Your explanation is probably correct. I have had two other digital cameras and neither had this problem. I doubt if much can be done about it...

Yes. I use the camera input audio. Make sure you use a high gain microphone for best results. I'm using a Creative Sounds boom microphone.

Yikes, mine is not that loud. If your cameras don't immediately work, then press the little black button on the back of the camera 5 or 6 times fairly rapidly and that should solve that. I can hear mine running but it is not overly loud.

I haven't noticed noise from the shutter, but there is some noise when the camera is turned on - I suspect from the sensor cleaning unit. Noise, however, is not usually an issue since I shoot mostly outside.

The motorized sounds you are getting are not normal in my experience. I have no sounds from the unit during video and no sounds out of the ordinary during normal everyday use. I would look into a return/swap out for another camera.

Built in microphone is realy sensitive. I have to use this camera only in manual mode setting sound attenuation on (not available in auto mode). Otherwise you will hear the camera's motor noise

Yes! We recorded some of a concert we went to concert and when we replayed it, it all came out muffled. We disappointed in this case.

I had not tried that feature yet. I usually only leave the camera at its native settings for the highest quality. I usually edit the photos/videos after the raw footage is uploaded to keep the full resolution.

The camera does record sound for videos, but the microphone isn't the best and sound is a little distorted, and I am talking about when the camera is dry.

Although I have not tried video, I was truly embarrassed at a seminar when every shot made a BING noise turning heads all around. I have not figured out how to stop this. Help? Otherwise, I have much to learn but am sorry they don't seem to make these pocket sized cameras anymore with a viewfinder. Mostly I am shooting outdoors and find it impossible in the sunshine.
