A 5-minute recording costs $0.60. **Rounding:** billing is per second but always rounds **up to a whole second** — a 5.06-second source bills as 6 seconds. The shortest billable job is 1 second. **Retries:** this is an asynchronous job on shared encoding capacity, so a request can occasionally come back `processing_failed` or take much longer than usual. These are transient and succeed on a retry, and a failed job is **never charged** — the wallet hold is released. If you chain these tools, retry a failed step rather than failing the whole pipeline.

To denoise a video's audio, send the video URL in **this** field. Sources longer than 600 s (10 minutes) are rejected with `Input too long` before you are charged — split them into shorter segments. strength No string `medium` `light`, `medium`, `strong` How much FFT noise reduction to apply: 6, 12 or 20 dB. A number is rejected — these are the only accepted values. Give this a **video** source and you get an `mp4` back, not an mp3: the picture is copied through untouched and only the audio track is rewritten, so `media_type` is `video/mp4`. An 80 Hz high-pass always runs first to clear rumble below the speech range; it cannot be turned off. Best on _steady_ noise — hiss, hum, room tone, air conditioning. It will not remove a slamming door. ## Example Request ``` { "audio_url": "https://api-assets.pixazo.ai/media/audio-tools-example.mp3", "strength": "medium" } ``` ## Response ``` { "request_id": "media-denoise-audio_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx", "status": "QUEUED", "polling_url": "https://gateway.pixazo.ai/v2/requests/status/media-denoise-audio_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" } ``` ## Request Headers Header Value Content-Type application/json Cache-Control no-cache Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key YOUR\_API\_KEY ## Response Handling Common status codes.
