Best way to remove hiss

AIFF to WAV

And, Audacity converted AIFF files to WAV for me.

Procoder 2 or Edius wouldn't do it, which surprised me.

Audacity is well worth the free download.

Reaper's FIR filter can do magic

HI:
@nictau: I tested RX3 and its indeed good!

@jsyrjanen: Thats why I use it since some months! And I find the leveler- and the normalize-Function also very good. And its freeware!

In the open source (i.e. free) realm, I've been pleasantly surprised by Audacity's Noise Removal filter. It has worked wonders on some hissy interviews I couldn't remedy enough within Edius, in the absence of pricey plug-ins. It has the "noise print" analysis included. Obviously, it is not a plug-in, so one has to export and re-import the clips, but depending on the situation, that may not be a deal breaker.

I would use izotope RX3 to fix that.

I agree! This tool gives fantastic results.

Maybe the "noise reduction (process)" filter can help more specific.
You can isolate the noise you want to remove & analyse it to create
a noise finger print & apply the "noise reduction (process)" filter.

I would agree with that. You can try the Adaptive Noise Reduction and see what it does.

Don't go to heavy on this or you will create audio artifacts.

Ozone 5 Advanced works as well.

Do you have access to Adobe Audition?
It has an excellent integrated filter to eleminate specific noise.
Not sure about your specific situation, but I think it could help.
Edius capabilities are a bit limited to do that.

it maybe too late to purchase plugins and learn them in time

try the graphic eq filter (drag one slider at the time until you find the one that reduces the hiss)
or parametric eq filter with sharp notch in the frequency with the hiss

other than that Izotope RX3 works well and also Wavearts

I am doing a favor for a friend, she interviewed her Aunt shortly before she died in the hospital. I am making a video for her to play at the a memorial. The issue is she had a breathing machine that is making it hard to hear her. Any way to filter that out in Edius 7? I have isotope but I think it only works in Edius 6
