Tutorial: AI Clean Audio in After Effects: Remove Noise, Filler Words, and Pauses in One Pass

Cleaning up dialogue used to mean exporting to a separate audio app, cutting fillers by hand, and re-importing. The AI Clean Audio feature does all of it right inside After Effects — it analyzes your clip, marks every word and silence, and drops a polished version onto your timeline as a single effect.

Choose What to Strip Out

Open Clean Audio on your selected audio layer and pick exactly what to clean: noise, filler words, dead pauses, repetitions, and bad takes. You can also normalize the volume and review everything before it is applied.

Let It Analyze the Whole Clip

Hit OK and it scans the entire clip automatically, mapping every word and silence. There is no manual scrubbing — the analysis handles the whole timeline for you.

Review as Editable Text

The cleanup is presented as editable text, with filler words and stumbles clearly marked. You stay in control of every cut and can adjust before committing — nothing is removed behind your back.

Apply and Keep Editing

Apply, and a clean version lands on your timeline as a single effect. The result is tighter, professional audio in one pass — no exporting, no third-party tools, and you never leave After Effects.
