Using Only the Audio From a Video Clip

Sometime I take a video and realize that I just want to use the audio from the clip and not necessarily the video.  Separating the two is pretty easy.

  1. Insert the video clip into your timeline.
  2. Choose the little microphone icon to narrate the timeline.
  3. From the 2nd drop down menu choose: Rec. Playback
  4. Click Start Narration
  5. Click Stop Narration when it is done
  6. Save it someplace you will remember
  7. The file should have automatically gone into your timeline in the audio/music layer of your timeline.
  8. You can now delete the video clip from your timeline and the just the audio will be there.
  9. Click done to get out of the narrate view.
Note: If you want to just use the video and not the audio from a clip you just have to mute the clip.
