Why would I split audio from my video?
Separating audio from video is a great universal editing tool used by many creators.

How to separate audio from video
Now let’s learn how to separate audio from video with this easy to follow, step by step tutorial.
Step 1. Create a Clipchamp Create account or log in
Log into your existing Clipchamp account or sign up today for free.
Step 2. Create a new project
Click Create a video button on the left side bar. Choose an appropriate ratio for the style of video you are creating. We recommend using Widescreen 16:9 ratio if you are wanting to upload to YouTube, Vimeo or a different video sharing platform.
Step 3. Upload your video file with audio
Click Browse my files and select the video you want to upload.
Step 4. Drag and drop to timeline
Once your video file has been uploaded to the media library, drag and drop your video onto the timeline.
Step 5. Separate audio from video
Once your video is on the timeline, the audio panel will appear in the top right corner. Click Separate Audio to separate audio from the video. The audio file will then appear below your video on the timeline and the video file will be muted. You can change the track volume under Track Volume. This feature allows for more specific, controlled editing of your video and audio files.
Step 6. Optional - Add in clips during audio
If you want to further edit your video, let’s add in another clip. Clips are able to be inserted during your original video, without having to cut the audio. To do this, select the clip and move your white bar to the time frame you would like to split your clip.
Click Split and your clip will be chopped in half. Drag and drop the secondary clip between the split clips on timeline. The audio will continue to play over all clips.
Step 7. Save and Export project
When you are finished, click Export. Saving options will appear, we recommend saving in 720p or 1080p resolution for the best quality video. Also selecting maximum compression. Click Continue when ready. Save your project to the location of your choice.
You're good to go!
You've got all of the info you need to start separating audio from your videos. We can't wait to see what you create.
