I've managed to bring it down so it's not above the dials now - not perfect by any means but as it's a internal corp video I don't think they give a S***. Not to say of course I don't hence my initial mail.

Thanks again for your time!

Quickie options for the lav mic noise might include a de-crackler/de-clicker (such as X-Click or X-Crackle, or the Izotope equivalent), combined with a de-esser afterward. Multiple gentle passes usually outshine super-agressive one pass solutions. These tools can all prove to be either ineffective or disastrous -or both, but you know the deal about desperate people and desperate things.

Good luck,
