Step 1: Import your video

First, import your video file into Lightworks. Simply navigate to the 'Import' tab and select the video you'd like to edit. Once it's imported, drag it onto the timeline for editing.

Step 2: Analyze the audio

Before you can eliminate the white noise, you need to analyze the audio to identify the frequencies causing the problem. You can do this by opening the 'Audio' tab in Lightworks and clicking on the 'Audio Mixer' button or using the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + Alt + A).

Step 3: Apply the 'EQ' effect

Once the Audio Mixer panel is open, find the 'Effects' tab, and then locate the 'EQ' effect. Click and drag the 'EQ' effect onto the audio clip on your timeline to apply it.

Step 4: Find the troublesome frequencies

Now that you've applied the EQ effect, click the 'cog' icon next to the effect to open its settings. With the settings window open, click the 'Analyze' button. This will display a frequency graph, allowing you to identify the frequencies causing the white noise. Look for peaks in the frequency graph – these are likely causing the noise problem.

Step 5: Cut out the white noise

Using the EQ effect settings window, reduce the gain on the frequencies causing the white noise. You can do this by clicking and dragging the small circular 'nodes' on the frequency graph. Be sure to adjust the 'Q' (frequency range) so that you only affect the problematic frequencies and not the surrounding audio.

Step 6: Preview and fine-tune

Once you've made your adjustments, close the settings window and play back your video to check if the white noise has been eliminated. If necessary, fine-tune the EQ settings to further reduce the noise.

Step 7: Export your video

If you're satisfied with the results, it's time to export your video. Go to the 'Export' tab and select your preferred export settings. Lightworks will then process your video file, complete with your white noise reduction.
