About This Class

This course teaches a practical, AI-assisted workflow for editing videos quickly and cleanly, using tools you can apply immediately.

You’ll learn how I use Dolby On and InShot together to clean audio, reduce noise, and improve clarity, and then use transcript-based editing to cut and refine video efficiently.

Instead of manually scrubbing timelines, you’ll edit by text—removing mistakes, silences, and unnecessary sections to make your videos more concise and watchable.

I walk through my entire real-world workflow, showing how I:

  • Clean and enhance audio using AI in both Dolby On and InShot

  • Reduce background noise and uneven levels

  • Remove silences, filler words, and dead sections

  • Edit videos using transcripts instead of timelines

  • Tighten pacing for tutorials, screen recordings, and voice-over videos

This is a hands-on, no-fluff course focused on speed, clarity, and consistency—not complex software or over-editing.

By the end, you’ll have a repeatable editing workflow you can use for courses, tutorials, explainers, and social media content.

1. Introduction: Hey, everyone. Welcome to audio editing using AI and Text. I'm Ricky Lahiri, decision scientist by profession and a hobbyist content creator. In this course, I teach my own real world audio editing workflow. The exact system I use to clean audio, remove errors, tighten pacing, and improve clarity using AI and text based editing tools. Instead of working with complex waveforms, you learn how to edit audio by simply editing text, making the process faster, more intuitive, and far more efficient. This course is built for creators who want results without unnecessary complexity. If you record podcasts, voice overs, or spoken content, this workflow will save you time and mental effort. So thank you so much for listening to this clip, and I hope you will enjoy the course, see you in the course. 2. Introduction to InShot and Walkthrough : Hey, everyone. Welcome to the first lecture in my audio editing using text cost. And in today's lecture, I'm going to introduce one of the apps I'm going to use to edit audio using text. And this app is called in short. Here's the app. I've clicked on it. Now, this is available on IOS and Android, and I'm using an iPad to record this. So I have it on IOS. Now, this app has a free tire and a pro tire. I would suggest you get the pro tire, which is very inexpensive. In India, this costs around 1,300 rupees or $15. In the US, it costs $40 and not for a month for a year. Now, this entire audio editing using transcripts and using text can be done using some more advanced apps such as Descript AI. But descript is far too expensive. Compared to what I'm using right here, in short, right? Descript will charge you per month what in short charges you per year, almost, right? So that way, this is a more inexpensive and reasonably priced way of doing and like I said, DScript can do it, but it's more video focused. And this workflow, which is my own workflow that I'll teach you, it uses this in short app and another app called Dolbon which I'll show you demonstrate in the next lecture. But for the time being, download in short. And like I said, if you want to do it on the cheap, if you want to do it inexpensively and make sure that you're not spending way too much money to do this while you're recording podcast and, you know, while you're recording audio for different purposes, maybe courses, maybe some other purposes, right? Maybe motivational speeches or whatever you are doing, right? If you are using my workflow, you can do it for as low as $16 per year. You need to spend $16 per year, and you can do the entire audio editing using text and using AI for $16 a year. At least in India, that is the price. Now, in the UK where I live, although my Apple account is from India, in the UK, it does not cost astronomically high. It costs more, but not as much as compared to something like descript.ai. Even in the UK, it's around, I believe 35 pounds the last time I checked per year, not per month per year, which is a very good deal. So I'll urge you to get the software. Like I said, it has a free tire and a paid pro tire, the free tire will not allow you to do what I'm doing right over here, right? So I'll click on open, and as you can see, the app is right over here. And as you can see, this is a video centric app, right? This does not have an audio option. So we need to get audio into this using a roundabout workflow. And it's a very easy workflow. It's my own workflow. But what you need to do is, you know, what you will need to do is you will need to click on video, and you'll need to get one of these videos into the software, right? And like I said, this app has a pro tire premium membership, and it costs $16 per year in India, and it costs a little bit more in the UK. The US price I'm not sure about, but it costs a little bit more in the UK, but like I said, still reasonably priced compared to descript.ai. Thank you so much. I'll catch you in the next lectter and I'll show you and walk through Dolby on to show you what Dolby on can do. And then I'll combine everything. And in three lectures, I'll demonstrate how you can edit audio using tech transcripts and AI. Thank you. 3. Introduction to Dolby On And Walkthrough: Hey, everyone. Welcome to a new lecture. And in this lecture, I'll show you how I'll use Dolby on a software that is free to remove noise, to add equalization, to boost my audio and do a bunch of other things. And Dolby O is free, is free of charge, and you don't need to spend a penny on it. That's the best part about Dolby on. So I'm going to click on Open. And as you can see, this is the Dolby on interface. You can record stuff over here using the microphone. You can record a video over here using the video option. Right? And what you can do is you can kick off for Live Stream two. So you can record audio, video and livestream, but we are not concerned about audio writer right now. While if you're using Android, you can record using Dolbon, and it's a great way to record. And I'll suggest if you are using Android, please do record using Dolbon. But we are not going to do that right now. What I'll do is I'll demonstrate this particular software and what it can do. As I would say, as a beginning to the entire workflow, which we'll be using clean up audio and edit audio using text, right? So I'll use this particular track called New Recording, which is something I recorded right now, and I'll play it. So as far as the Russia Ukraine war goes, I believe in, right now, it's a stalemate, but frankly, speaking, Ukraine has no chance of winning. So I have this his Audio write over here. It's just that with Western Western you can do with this audio, right? Now, you can go to tools. You have a bunch of options over here, and I have my iPad in landscape position, so it's appearing kind of like this because it does not automatically switch to landscape, but you can see it. You have tools, right? And you have this option, which is like download option, and you can download using messages, mail you know, you can download you can download to SoundCloud. You can share audio and you can share video, right? You can do all of these things using the Download option. You have the star option where you can star mark this recording, and you have the three dots over here. And when you click on them, you can see that you can add visuals. You can rename the audio file, you can delete it, right? We'll come to this later, especially the add Visuals option is how we are going to convert audio to video. Right? And you have tools over here. Look, follow my cursor. You have tools over here, right? And I'll click on tools. And as you can see, you have style over here, so you can choose different styles for your audio. I can use Tum let's see how it sounds. Russia's advanced. But Russia has what it needs. It has three if they sue for B. Modes, the different styles that you can apply to your audio. Kind of like mastering. Now, if you don't want to do any of that and if you want to reduce noise, let's listen to the audio. There's a lot of background noise. Click on noise reduction over here, and noise reduction runs from gentle to strong. So you have at the lower end of the spectrum, zero noise reduction, and at the highest end of the spectrum, you have complete noise reduction. I'll apply complete noise reduction. You can choose what you want based on the amount of noise you have in your audio. My audio is very noisy. Now listen to this. Let's compare to that. It's a lower end situation between h and ear. Now, it's much better, right? Some of the background noise is gone, of course. While I was recording this, I was in public and there were other people around, so you cannot filter that noise out. But, you know, most of the background noise is gone, right? Now you can adjust tone. You have treble, mids and bass. You can adjust tone if you want to adjust tone. So you can increase the treble. You can reduce the treble below zero. You can increase the base. You can increase the base, and you can reduce the mits to minus seven, or you can increase the base to plus two plus four, and it goes up to plus 19, right? So you can do that. Then you can add boost. You can boost your audio recording. Let's listen to this. France lost it. France wondered what he said. So if you add boost, you know, it makes your sound booming. It makes it more pronounced. And you can reduce the boost level, too, in order to make your audio less pronounced less emphatic, right? That is what you can do. Okay. And you have trim over here, and you can trim the audio, right? And you can use this particular round slider where my cursor is Look there, my cursor is hovering over the slider, and it's called start. You can use the slider. You can pull it towards the right to trim from the beginning. There or you can use the cursor or use a slider called end right over here where my cursor is. And you can pull it to the left to trim from the end. So that is Dalvon free of cost completely. And in the next lecture, I'll show you how I record my audio or my podcasts, and then you'll understand, you know, what you can do. And for Android, like I said, I shot is kind of cheaper is $10 in India, $16 on iPad, but $10 on Android in India. And I'll be on is free everywhere, right? And in the UK, in shot is around 30, $35 per year. And on Android is cheaper. Everything is cheaper on Android. That does not mean Android is cheap, but everything is cheaper on Android. But in the UK it's marginally higher price, but it's not too exorbitant, compared to descript, which is around $20 per month, right? Depending on the geography, right? So this is done, and what I will do is, I'll end this video over here, and then I'll show you how I record my audio. Thank you so much. I'll catch you in the next lecture. 4. Recording Audio: Hey, everyone. Welcome to a new lecture in the audio editing using transcripts and text and AI code. And today, I'm going to show you or in this lecture, I'm going to show you how I record my audio. I use the voice memos app. Now, this is an app that comes with your iPad for free. It's an Apple app, and it comes with the iPad and with the iPhone for free. So you do not need to buy it. It's already in your iPad and IOS. And it's a great app, and I use it usually to record my podcast. So I'll click on the app. And as you can see, I have a couple of recordings, so I'll not be bothered about those for the time being. What I'll do is I'll record a new recording. And to do so, you got to click on the record button. Now, if you have an Android, you don't have this app. Android has its own audio recorders depending on which tablet or phone you're using. But in case you want to, you know, apply some of the advanced tools, the voice memos app on iPad Allows, do not worry. You may not have those tools, but Dolby on can do whatever. And in short, and Dolby on combined can do whatever the voice memos app on iPad can do. I'll start recording, and I've started recording, and whatever I'm saying from now onwards until I stop the recording will be captured by the voice memos app. And I'm recording this in order to show you how you can use certain tools on the Voice Mimos app on iPad. So I'm going to click on Done because I'm done recording, and I have my recording right over here, right? Now, I can do some editing right here. How do I do that? Go to the top right corner. You have this option called Edit, click on Edit, right? So you can actually trim your audio by you have the slider, playhead right over here and on the playhead, my cursor is hovering right now. So so I can pull it towards the right to trim or I can pull it towards I can click at the end and pull it towards the left to trim. I can put it somewhere in the middle, right? And it will do nothing because it's a playhead the trick is either trim from the beginning, which is what I'm doing right now, clicking on the playhead and pulling it towards the right, and you can click on the end and you can trim from the end too, right? Now, I'm going to click on the slider button over here. There are a bunch of sliders. I'm going to click on this. And as you can see, you can increase playback speed. Let's play this audio. And I've started recording and whatever I'm saying from now onwards until I stop the recording, it'll be captured by the Voicemos app, and I'm recording this. As you can see, if I pull the slider to the right and increase the speed of the playback, the playback becomes really fast, right? But we don't want that. We don't want it to sound garbled. And another thing you can do is you can enhance recording. It's an AI based tool that suppresses all the background noise. It makes the audio recording sound much better, but this is not available on Android, by the way. Voice memos is not there on Android, but you can do the same thing using Dolby on as I'll demonstrate on the next lecture. But for the time being, you know, we are going to use enhanced recording in voice memos app to suppress all the background noise, and I've clicked on. I've toggled on enhanced recording. I can also toggle on Skip silences. What this will do is it'll skip all the silent portions of the video. For instance, at the beginning of the video, there's a silent portion. In between if there are silent portions, it will skip all the silent portions. And this is a double edge sword, because if you remove all the silences, then your voice might sound rushed. You recording might sound very, very rush. And it'll sound extremely, extremely fast. Now, some silences, if they're too long, can be removed, but Skip silence is not really an ideal tool to edit those silences out. I'll do them using in shot in the future lecture, and you'll see how I can do it using in shot. For the time being, this was just to demonstrate how skip silence works. But also, like I said, you know, enhanced recording is a great function that is available. In voice memos to suppress background noise. And like I said, skip silence is a double edge. I'd rather not use it in voice memos. I'd rather do this on in shot. And I'll click on Done. And now I have it over here as recording four. Now I'm going to save this recording, right? What I'll do is I will press on the recording, right? First, I will change the name of the recording. I'll name it test because this is the test recording, right? I'll click on return, and now what I'll do is I'm going to save this recording to files. So I'm going to click on the recording and the naming is done, and now I will click on this particular button over here, which is the download button. And what I'll do is I will send test. I'll save it to files right, and I'll save it in the folder where I'm saving all my lectures. So I'll save it in that folder. Now test is saved. Now we'll see what we can do using Dolbon in the next lecture. Thank you so much. I hope you learned a lot, and I hope this helps you catch you in the next lecture. 5. Convert Audio To Video And Edit Using Dolby On: Hey, everyone. Welcome to a new lecture in the audio editing course. And today, I'm going to show you how you can do three things. First, clean up messy audio. Does not matter if you recorded it on iPad or iPhone or Android phone or Android tablet. You can use any recording you have, and you can clean it up on Dolbon. I'll show you how to boost recording I'll show you how to improve the quality of recording, and then I'll show you how to create a video from an audio file easily in 1 second. You don't need I movies, final cut, filmora to create an audiogram or create an audio file with a still image that takes time. This will do it in 1 second. So first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to import the test file that I recorded in the previous lecture. I'll click on look at where my cursor is always follow my cursor. I'll click on the button over here. I'll go to Import from files. And what I'll do is I'll go to the audio editing using text folder, and I'll import the test audio file. And test is now in Dolby on. So I'll click on Test, right. What I'll do is then I'll minimize this window. And as you can see, I have the tools, all of it available. The first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to convert this into Video How. Go to the three dots over here where my cursor is and click on Add Visuals. And you can select which visual you want to add. There are a bunch of options. Add any visual I like the purple one. I'm going to click on Select now. Look at where my cursor is, right? Follow my cursor. I'm going to create the select one. And now my audio is a video. Simple as that, right? Look, it's a video. And I've started recording and whatever I'm seeing from now onwards. It's an audiogram, right? So I'm going to minimize the video again. Now I'll go to tools. The first thing I'll do is I'll clean up the audio noise reduction. That's why I told you, even if you're recording on Android and not on iPad and you don't have the enhanced recording option, it does not matter. You can use Dolbon the noise reduction feature in DolbuO to remove noise. So what I'll do is I'll just put in the strongest setting over here. I will apply the strongest noise reduction possible. If you have a cleaner audio, you can opt for level five noise reduction. I don't have a clean audio. I'll opt for level ten noise reduction, right, which will ensure that most of the background noise is gone, right? And if you have really clean audio, you can go for two no problem, but in this case, I'll go for ten. Now, how does it matter? Noise reduction matters because noise reduction suppresses the background noise, but it also suppresses the quality of your voice, right? So if you're applying more noise reduction, that means your voice may sound kind of robotic. So the golden rules apply five, at least when you're doing it on Doll Beyond. Apply five in the sense that apply mid level noise reduction rather than high level noise reduction, right? But if you have clean audio, you can apply two, but you have really messy audio, you have to apply ten, otherwise, it's going to sound really crappy. I've done this. I have applied noise reduction, cleaned up the audio. Now I can change tone. Now, let's say my voice is mid range, so I want to accentuate and emphasize on my voice. So I'll increase the mid two plus four. Treble, I'll increase two plus one, and bass, I'll increase two plus one, two. Let's see how it sounds. Until I stop the recording will be captured by the voice memos. Now, if I increase the treble to less than 16, let's see how it sounds. And I'm recording this. It sounds very trebly, right? Very trebly. So I'm going to pull it back. I'm going to use treble too. This is how you can adjust your base level, your treble level, your mid level. I'll click on the Tick Mark over here, and then I'm going to go to boost and boost the recording, right? So that it sounds really it sounds as if it's coming out of a loudspeaker, right? In order to show you how you can use certain tools on the voice Mimos app on iPad. So as you can see, I have boosted my voice. It's made my voice more emphatic. Louder, right? It has more gravity. That is what you can do with boost, right? Now, if you want to trim, you know, you can trim. I would suggest not to use trim over here because we'll use artificial intelligence to edit the audio. We'll edit the audio transcript, and by doing that, we'll edit the audio itself, right? Or in this case, the audio grab the audio with this video label or rather video wrapper or video, you know, cover. So I'm going to click on the Tick Mark over here, and now what I'll do is I'll click on Done. Look at where my cursor is. I'll click on Done. And now what I'll do is I'm going to export this video. Now, I can export as audio. I don't want to do that. It's a video. I'll export as video. I'll click on I can save video to photos, which is the image folder, image app on IOS, or I can use the more video apps option. And this will start exporting the video. Once it's exported, I get this I get this list of options. So I'm going to save two files. Look at where my cursor is. I'm going to save to files, right? And I'm going to save in the same folder, I saved the audio file, and I'll named test. And now it's a video file, right? I'll click on Save. That's it. So we have a cleaned up, nicely manicured, nicely processed audio sound right now, right? And what we'll do with this audiosund is we are going to edit this audio using artificial intelligence in in short. Thank you so much. I'll catch you in the next lecture, where I'll show you how to edit using artificial intelligence, edit using text and transcript in in short, and do it on the cheap or do it rather inexpensively so that you don't end up spending a fortune trying to get your podcast business running, trying to get your audio content business running, right? The idea is to go lean. Everyone is talking about lean is the buzzword. So if you can spend less to get the same results or get better results, why not? Thank you so much. I'll catch you in the next lecture. 6. Edit Audio Using Transcript And AI: Hey, everyone, welcome to a new lecture. And right now I'm in the folder where I have my test video file. So what I'll do is I'll press on the text and click it, and I'll go to share over here, and I'll share it to Ishot, which is my video editor, which I'll use to use AI to edit using transcript, right? And as you can see, my video is on is in short. Now, I'm going to actually discard this for the time being. Now, if you want to import video using the video option over here, right where my cursor is, click on it. You can import the video from your album. You can import it from your photos, or you can import it from other material, right? But since while we were on Dolby on, we did not save the video to photos. We saved it to files. You won't find the video over here in photos. So what you can do pretty much is you can go back to the folder where you saved your video test video, and I'm in the folder right now. I can click on this test video. I can click on Share and I'll send it to Ishot in this manner. Now, if you want to avoid all of this, just save it to photos from Dolby One. While you're saving save the video to photos, right? Is the basic save the video option on Darby O. So now I have the video. Let's play this. And I started recording and whatever and seeing now, we have cleaned up the video to a certain extent. Using the Dolby on noise reduction feature, right? But I want to clean it up further. What do I do? Now, I'll go to an option over here known as volume. The tool over here that I'll use is volume. I'll click on volume. The video, I think is loud enough. The audio is loud enough. I'll just click on D noise removes removes all sorts of noise, right? It cleans up the audio to a large extent. Even if Dolby on could not produce background noise completely, you can come into In shot. You can come to Inshot and use the volume option, and in the volume option, you'll find the denoise tool and you can denoise. I'm going to click on the tick Mark over here. Now, the volume option, the denoise option is available in the free tire on Ishot. But what I'm going to show you next is not available on the free tire. You have to pay for it. And remember, if you're using the free tire, there will be a watermark. If you're paying for the software, well, you can use something known as voice enhance. What does voice enhance do? It isolates your voice, it can either isolate the background or the voice. So if you want to focus on your voice, make certain that all the background noise is absolutely suppressed. You can click on voice only over here, right? So this is kind of a spectrum. At the left end of the spectrum, you have voice only, you have voice isolation at the right end of the spectrum, right at the end, you have background isolation, right? Background only. And as you move from background to the left, right? The voice becomes louder and more in focus. And finally, when you reach voice only where my cursor is, at this point, you're just going to hear the voice. So I'm going to click on voice only. And as you can see, this is the in short software is using artificial intelligence to make sure that all my background noise is gone and only my voice. I'm sorry, recording and whatever I'm saying from now on. Look at the quality of the recording now. All the background noise is gone because I've used voice isolation essentially voice only or voice isolation. Whatever you call it, this is a great tool, and this will absolutely clean up your audio. Click on the Tick Mark over here, and that's it. You have an audio that is completely free of background noise, right? Completely free of background noise. Now, what do we do now? Now that we are done with voice enhance, we are done with, you know, voice only, and we have a clip which sounds absolutely clean, professional level. What we need to do right now is we need to filter out the silences, and if we have made a mistake while speaking, right? If we have made a mistake in terms of saying something that is not factual, making a mistake with some logical assumption, or if you're recording audio content and you mispronounce something and you get your facts wrong, you want to from the recording, right? How do you do so? Well, you have to use the AI cut. Tool over here. The AICAtTol as you can see, my cursor is right on it. The AI cut tool available only in the pro tire of the software. The free tire has a lot of tools, but it won't allow you the advanced AI based tools that in short office, right? Obviously, right, if you're using the free tire, then the problem is, you know, if you do edit something any video using the free tire, there'll be a watermark. But if you pay In India, 1,300 rupees or $16 for the year and in the UK around 40 40 pounds for the year. If you pay that money, you get access to the pro tire and it's far cheaper than anything else out there, and you get this tool called AICAt which is a great tool. Now I'm going to click on it. And as you can see, what it'll do is it'll autodtect and remove pauses and filler words in videos. This is what it does, right? Look at where my cursor is. Auto detect and remove pauses and filler words in videos. Let's see what it does. And Valla it has auto detected silences, right? It has auto detected silences. Now, along with the silence, the first thing I'll do is I'll delete the silences. What do you do? It has already check marked the silences, right? And you can see there's a red check mark, red, not checkmark, but red cross over here, which means that these portions of the video must be and will be removed. So you have the red crosses over here signifying the places where there are silences, there's a long silence, et cetera. Click on the tick Mark over here, and that's it, right? The silences are gone. And I've started recording, and whatever I'm saying from now onwards until I stop the recording will be captured by the voice memos app. So the silences are gone. As you can see, it's flawless. There is no disruption to the flow of the audio, right? Now, what I'll do is I'll go back to the edit option, and what I'll do is I'm going to remove the first line, and I have started recording and whatever, and the video is going to start from the audio for the video is going to start from and whatever I'm saying from now on. So what do? I just select this particular line, this particular sentence, right? I'll play this way. I'm recording this in order to show you how you can use certain tools on the voice. Now, as you see, this is the entire transcript of the video file I gave in shot, and inshot is going through all the sentences except whatever is marked by the red cross mark. What does it mean? It means that whatever I'm selecting for removal from the video during the playback, the software will remove those portions. It has removed all the silences, and it has removed the first line. Now, let's say I don't want to remove the first line. What I'll do is I'll just click on it again and uncheck it. As you can see, the red cross mark is gone. I'll remove the second line, right? Now, let's play this video again, and you'll see the second line is no longer there. And whatever I'm saying from now on was no longer there. Now, you can use certain tools on the voicemail started recording until I stop the recording. Did you see what happened? It started with and I have started recording, and now it directly went to until I stop the recording will be captured, right? So I'll start with and I have started recording again to demonstrate demonstrate this again. And as you can see, I've selected the sentence over here, and whatever sentence I select, by the way, basically, the player will play that sentence, right? Or play from that sentence. So if I select until I stop recording, look at where my curse. There is always follow my curse. So if I select until I stop recording will be captured sentence and click on play. Until I stop the record. I'll play that. I'll play from that. We play from that sentence. And what I'll do is I'll start from the beginning and I've started recording, and I'll click on. I started recording. Until I stop the recording will be. So as you see, this particular sentence and whatever I'm saying, look at where my cursor is, and whatever I'm saying from now onwards, I basically selected it for removal. It has the red check mark assigned to it. And during playback, the sentence was removed. So you can actually remove portions of your audio transcript, and this will change the audio. If you want to remove a huge segment of your podcast or any other audio recording you have, you can easily remove this using this tool. I'll give you the transcript. You just select what you want to remove. And once you've selected what you want to remove, silence is awkward phrasing, fillaers, all of that, you know, you know, right, et cetera, all of that. Once you've selected all of that, and they'll have a red cross mark assigned to them. Once you've done all of that, just click on the Tik Moe, and we have cut the video successfully. And what I'll do is I'll play from the beginning. Until I stop the recording will be captured by the voice memos. And as you notice, it has removed the silences, and it has removed the sentence. I selected for removal, and it starts with the sentence, the first sentence and directly goes to the third sentence, right? Because the second sentence I selected for removal. Now click on the tick mark again. This process is done. We have successfully edited audio using the transcript and the text of the audio using the captions, using artificial intelligence. That's it. That's how you edit audio using artificial intelligence, using the transcript and the text. You remove a portion of the text, you remove silences, and automatically, all the silences will be removed. The text you have selected for removal will be removed, right? Now, once you're done with this and you have your audio file cleaned up audio file over here. Go to the export option Export button over here. Look at my mine. Cursoris click on it. Click on Save. It's saving. And now you can save to files. You can save to a lot of other things. Just save to files, right? What you're going to do is you're going to save to files. I'm going to click Save to files. I'll save it in the same folder where I've saved everything else, and I'll name it, test, edited, right? Perfect. Click on Save. And I'll see you in the next lecture where I'll show you how you can reconvert this video into audio easily, right? Thank you so much. I'll catch you in the next lecture. 7. Convert Video To Audio: Hey, everyone. Welcome to the last lecture in this course. And today, I'm going to talk about how we can convert video files to audio files. Why do we need it? Well, we converted our audio file, which we recorded using voice memos into video file using Dolbon and we edited the file using Dolbon and in short, using the AI cut to transcribe, rather to edit using transcripts. And now that we have edited the video file, we need to reconvert it back to audio. Why? Because ultimately we are dealing with audio? Objective is to create a studio quality audio. What I'll do is I'll go to this button where my cursor is with the music note on it. In the sense, the symbol of the music note on it. I'll click on the button and now I'll go to the Import File option right at the lower left corner, right, lower bottom left corner. I'll click on this and I'll click on Import from Files. And I'm going to import the test edited file. It's essentially the video file that we saved after we were done with editing it using Dolbon and in short, you know, using AI to edit using transcripts and doing all the other stuff we did, including voice isolation, background removal, all of that. So I'll import this into Dolbon. I'll click on this. I'll click on Open. And this has been imported to Dolbon. As you can see, we have the test edited file right over here. Now, what I'll do is I'm going to go back to the main screen or rather, I'm going to select the text edited file, and we have the test edited file right over here. I'll just play it for your convenience. I started recording. Until I stop the recording will be? So the file is right over here. I'll click on the minimize button. Right now as full screen, I'll click on the minimize button, just follow where my cursor is. And then what I can do is I can go to tools and do all my noise reduction, tone change, boost, trim style sort of operations again. You know, if someone is finicky and wants to keep using noise reduction to reduce noise, I would recommend against it. If you use too much for noise reduction, your voice is going to sound robotic. We have already done enough operations on the audio and the audio is perfectly fit for consumption at this point in time. So I'll not doing any of these. I'll just what I will do is I'll just click on Done over here, right? And then what can I do? Well, I can click on the three dots and I can rename the file. Let's rename the file and call it final, right? Text, test, rather. Final. So right now, I'm calling it test final, right? This is the final version of the recording that we are going to save. And now what I'll do is I'll go to the Export button right over here, follow my curse service on the Export button. I'll click on the Export button. There are a bunch of options over here, right? You can send via messages, you can post to social media. You can share the audio and you can share the video. Last time, we shared a video, right? We created an audio gram and we shared the video, and we shared it to more video apps. In the sense, we exported it to files by using the share more video apps option. This time around, I'm going to share the audio. We have a video file, but if I click on Share Audio and I'll click on the three dots, right? As you can see, my cursor is hovering over the button with the three dots using which we can share audio. I'll share the video. And Dolbon will automatically convert my video to audio, huh? Well, I'll click on the three dots over here, and as you can see, it has shared or rather saved the audio file as an audio file. I just saved the video that we created, the audiogram that we created and edited right now as an audio file. And I can save this two files. I'll click on Save to files, and I'll save it as test final, right? No problem, no issues. I'll click on Save. And this has been saved as an audio file. The video has been saved as an audio file. Let's check if it's an audio file, and it's very easy to check, right? I will go to the Import button again, right over here on the top left corner. And this is this is in landscape, but, you know, Dolbon has difficulty switching between landscape and portrait. It's a problem with the app. It does not switch intuitively as easily as some other app. So please bear with me. And I'll click on the Import button. I'll click on Import from files. And as you can see right now, right, I have the test final file right over here, right? The test final file has been saved as an audio file. Follow where my cursor is. My cursor is on the test final file, and it has been saved as an audio file, right? I've selected it, right? So this way, you can easily convert a video file to an audio file using Dolbon. So the workflow we used was we recorded the audio, added some enhancements to the audio, then we imported it into Dolbon. And after that, we created an audiogram. We did some editing, we reduced some noise. We added some features to the sound, and after that, we imported it into in short. Then we did some voice isolation denoising. And after that, what we did was we edited the audio of the video that we created using artificial intelligence, using transcript. We did that. We saved it as the final version of our video audiogram file, and then we imported the video audiogram, right? We imported the video into Dolbon and we re converted it into audio file. We saved it as audio file. The video was converted to audio. And that is how you convert video to audio. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for joining me in this court. 8. Outro: Hey, everyone. You have now seen how audio editing can be simple, fast, and repeatable when you work with the right workflow. What matters isn't mastering tools, it's having a system you can rely on. I have shared the exact process I use as a content creator, combining artificial intelligence and text based editing to remove friction from audio production. Take this workflow, adapt it to your needs, and use it consistently. Thanks for taking this course. I am Ricky Lahiri, and I hope this workflow helps you create better audio with lesser effort. Thank you so much. Thank you for joining me in this course. I'll catch you in some other course I'm teaching. Thank you so much.
