Google’s made cleaning up video clips from your Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro incredibly easy with its new Audio Magic Eraser tool, and it’s something you should definitely try if you own this phone, or know somebody who does.
With some AI wizardry, Audio Magic Eraser can separate out the different sources of sound in a video clip, and allow you to adjust the volume, making unwanted noises fade into the background so the subject of your video can be heard properly. This feature works with any video saved to your phone or your Google Drive, meaning you can take videos from other devices and improve them on your Pixel before sharing them.
To give you a head start on trying Audio Magic Eraser for yourself, we’ve put together step-by-step instructions and some sample video here so you know what’s what when it comes to this feature.

From here, you can now choose different sound elements that Google’s AI believes is present in the video (such as noise, speech and wind), and use the slider to reduce their volume level. You can also tap the Auto button to let the app try and improve things by itself.
4. Check and then save a copy of your video
