Why is "Reduce Noise" grayed out?

Trying to clean up an audio, I selected a section where no one was talking and applied Process - Noise Reduction - Set Noise Print. The SCBBOD (Spinning Colored Beach Ball of Doom) went around for a while. Then I was hoping to try Process - Noise Reduction - Reduce Noise... but that option is grayed out, can't select it.
Anybody know if I forgot a step? Or did I lose a plug-in?

The Way this feature work is the following:
You have to go to the File Editor. To do that:
1) Double click the clip to open an external File editor
or
2) Select the clip, then click the File editor tab in the lower pane (CTRL+S to toggle ON)
- Now you can make your selection selection (you have to select just a few time of "bad" noise)
- Go to Process Menu -> Noise Recuction -> Set noise print
- Un-select your selection in the file editor and choose (from the same menu) REDUCE NOISE.
Now you have a new black floating window ... and you have to set the threshold (watch your meter on the right pane (CTRL+D). Set "REDUCTION" about 70%. Playback from this window and Use your hears. 100% is not advised (you have clean sound but it sounds unreal). Use also the Bypass button and the Noise only check button to help you). Then click APPLY
Bye

  • HT4914 why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

    why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

    I had this problem too - of grayed out music I could only play when in WIFI.  I noticed when looking in iTunes, these grayed song were not chosen by me to sync on to my iPhone. They were stored in iCloud.  I went to Settings > Music and then turned off "Show All Music" so only music that has been dowloaded to my iPhone will be shown. 
    I don't have iTunes Match, so you may have a different issue than what I had.

  • Any update on why File Export is grayed out in Premiere Elements 8?

    I just "upgraded" from 7. In the past versions I used Export command to quickly get myself an audio track exported.  Not a huge deal because it looks like I can accomplish the same thing in the "Share" area, but why wouldn't they remove the menu command instead of graying out?  Also, irritating because I've wasted 30 minutes trying to figure that out as well as another 30 min. having to go through the NVIDIA driver issue. Arggggghhhh.
    Thx!
    Jeremy

    Ah, that would certainly make perfect sense. Thank you for that observation. Now, I feel better about the coding in PrE 8!
    Appreciated,

  • Why are the options grayed out??

    Why are the majority of my edit options grayed out.  I cant copy and paste

    OK. So we've established that you're in Photoshop CC on Windows 7 (nothing to do with Acrobat or Acrobat Reader).
    What exactly are you trying to do in Photoshop CC? Can you outline in detail what steps you're taking and what's confusing you?

  • Why is chat support grayed out?

    I am in remote area of Baja Sur Mexico, with phone suspended, but I am continuing to get billed via my auto pay account at my bank.  I can't call 800 numbers from my Mexican phone.  What are my options?  I can pay several months in advance (had suspended for three months, but just activated today to be able to re-suspend for additional time), but don't want the hassle of trying to get a refund when I return . . .
    I can't figure out why I am getting billed at all, plus my account shows much higher billing for both accounts than what I should be paying . . . absurd!!!

  • Why is cropping tool grayed out?

    I use the latest Aperture 3.3.2. Got a picture ready to crop but cropping tool is grayed out? Anyone know why? The image is online and lets me print.
    Thanks
    Jerry

    The only way I can make the crop tool greyed out is by taking the original image flles offline or by not selecting any image at all:
    Are you sure, that you had the image selected and it is online, when you tried to crop? "Print" is not greyed out for offline originals, but it will not actually let you print
    But if your image is online, and you have selected it, and you still cannot crop, your User preferences may be corrupted; then try to quit Aperture, log off and on again (to ensure Aperture really quits), and move the User Preferences (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist) from the user library to the Desktop - see the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics on how to do this.
    If this does not help, try the other trouble shooting measure from this document, unless you tried that already.
    Regards

  • Any reasons why these options are grayed out in PSA? Transfer/Create/Delete

    Hi,
    I have a flat file mater data attri in PSA and it is not showing in Targeted InfoObject. When I select all the objects in the PSA, I thought the "Transfer" option in the menu option List, would let me transfer the selected data into the customer infoobj but Transfer, Create and Delete options under List in the PSA are grayed out.
    Any reasons for these options being grayer out?
    Any way to push the data from here in the the InfoObject?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    thanks for the input.
    No, this is not through process chain
    I created infopak to load the data from flat file... which placed it in the PSA.
    Then I created DTP which is supposed to take the data to the Customer InfoObj  but it did not. That is why I wanted to manually push it from PSA to InfoObj.
    Any more help?
    Thanks

  • Why is mobileme icon grayed out when I try to add a MobileMe gallery?

    I found some old answers on the web, but they aren't pertinent. My MobileMe prefpane is correctly configured, but when I click on the "+" sign in iPhoto, the MobileMe icon is grayed out. Why? iPhoto '09 8.1.2.

    OK. Time to bring out the big guns and go in for the kill. Wyodor posted the following code for adding a MMe gallery via an HTML snippet. Works just like the MMe widget as it's essentially the same code:
    <script src="http://gallery.mac.com/g/flash/photowidget_iefix.js" type ...;<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://gallery.me.com/MobileMeName/XXXXXX">http://gallery.me.com/MobileMe Name/XXXXXX</a>", 226, 199);
    </script>
    Change "MobileMeName" to your MMe account name and XXXXXX to the gallery number that you can get from iPhoto or by visiting it online.

  • Why is the display grayed out? andhow do I increase the contrast?

    I just "updated" from Firefox 3.6.27 to 17. The new look is impossible for me to work with. Everything is faded out, grayed out, no color contrasts...... I tried to find a persona/theme to change this, but the page displaying the persona/themes is so faded out I can't tell what I'm searching for. Isn't there some way to turn off this faded out hazy style?

    The setup is the default that comes with Firefox 17. If I could find any settings to increase the contrast I would have done so already. This blue/gray mess is really hard for older computer users. Every thing was just fine thank you, in Firefox 3.6.27 Well, up until they started messing around with forced plugin update checker. Then it started crashing every few minutes, until i gave in and installed this worthless piece of trash Firefox 17. I don't want to live in a blue/gray haze. I want color differentiation and lots of contrast. And I want all the tool bars and address bar above the page tabs. Meanwhile if I go to get an add-on that will change the color scheme, it gives me thousands, but they are faded out. Apparently Mozilla no longer offers add-on that are compatible with the current browser.

  • Why is Keyword Controls grayed out?

    What condition(s) cause the Show Keyword Controls under the Windows menu to be grayed out? I've searched the manual and can't seem to find the answer.

  • Why are the brushes grayed out

    I am having a hard time using brushes in Aperture 3.  When I imported photos from iPhoto....and then go to edit these using brushes....all the options are grayed out except for the retouch option.  Help!

    It's likely that you have 'Preview' enabled, click 'P' and it should be good to go.
