Reducing background noise

Powerdirector 365 version 24.5.1727.1 -- I want to reduce the sound of a table saw running and enhance speech. Can someone point me to a tutorial on how to do that? I found several videos for older version but they refer to tools or actions that no longer exist.

The audio denoise tool is at the Audio > Enhance tab after you double click a media clip that contains audio on timeline in PD.
Select the audio type as Dialogue on the denoise startup dialog, it contains advanced options to let you select speech enhancement specifically.

QC 2.0 I don't see that option.

As what you need is denoise, you need to open the AI Audio Denoise tool.

QC 2.0 thank you! They sure didn't make that easy to find.

It should work with Audio Director because a saw usually gives a high-pitched sound. By setting the voice filter on the high side so that the speech is still clearly audible, the saw will reduce noise. It is also a matter of trying until an acceptable situation is reached.
Good luck Ken!

Koen Wagenaar unfortunately I don't have audio director. I do this for my own amusement and can't justify the expense.
