There are times when you like an audio clip more than its video. You might not find it from another resource, so you want to separate it from the video. Furthermore, you can use that audio to insert in any other video, make your own MP3, dub in any other language, or create a remix. There are a few simple ways to easily separate your favorite audio from its video in no time.
Separate Audio From Video Using Filmora
This process of separating audio from video using Filmora requires only three easy steps:
- Load media files
Start with entering the editing mode by choosing 16:9 or 4:3 as per your requirements. Then click ‘Import’ to add your media file from the folder on your computer. These files may include video, audio, or photos. Then drag and drop the files on to the Timeline. This will merge all the files, by default, in the video timeline without any gap. As this program is highly compatible with various formats, the original quality can be maintained when editing them frame by frame.
- Separate audio from video
Now, right-click on the video clip from which the audio track is to be extracted. Click on ‘Detach Audio,’ and an audio file will appear on the audio track immediately by just one click. This will be the original sound from the video track.
- Save the separated audio or video
Click ‘Export’ to save either the audio or video file after you have deleted the audio or video clip you don’t want anymore. It can be saved to the file folder of your choice, or you can directly hit the ‘iPad’ already set to play.
If you want to keep both of the separated audio and video files on your computer, separately, you need to save one as a project file on the hard drive first. After exporting that file, reload the project file to export the second file in a different file folder.
Extract Audio From Video Using Adobe Premiere Pro
Follow the following steps:
- Create a new video project
Launch the Premiere Pro, click File > New > Project from the main menu. Name your project in the dialog box, select Browse to choose the location, and click ‘OK.’
- Import your media files
This can be accomplished in a few ways:
- Select File, then import from Media Browser.
- Right-click the file in the Media Browser and hit ‘Import.’
- Drag the file from Media Browser on to the Project Panel.
- Drag the file from Media Browser on to a Timeline.
- Extract audio from video
There are further two different ways to extract audio from a video according to the type of audio you want to extract:
-
Directly extract audio
Select one or more clips containing audio in the Project panel of the Premiere Pro. Choose the clip, go to the Audio Options, and then click ‘Extract Audio.’ New audio files containing the extracted audio will appear with the word ‘Extracted’ written with their filenames.
This feature is useful for the extraction of audio from those video clips that have already been edited. The extracted audio will contain all the previously applied edits to the master clips such as any source channel mappings, gain, speed, and duration and will preserve the original audio quality.

Separate the audio from video and export it
If you don’t want all the audio from a video and only a selected portion of the audio, then you can unlink the audio from the video, edit it and then export it. As follows:
- Select the video clip from which you want to extract the audio. The video and audio clips appear as two linked tracks. To unlink them, select the clip/clips with Shift-click, then right-click and choose ‘Unlink’ from the pop-up list.
- Digital audio is divided into samples and not frames like in videos. That’s why you need to switch your time ruler to audio samples in the Timeline panel to edit your clips. Then create In and Out options by using playhead. The audio tracks which are to be exported should not be muted.
- Now for exporting the audio clip, click File, choose a location for the file, hit ‘Export’ and then go to media. Select the audio format and adjust the file quality from the dropdown below.
The most common file types are AAC, MP3, and WAV. The source range sequence depends on the type of file you are working with. If it is part of a clip and not the whole video, the sequence will be In/Out. However, if the file is a whole video, make sure to set it to the entire sequence.

Note: The uploading will take time according to the size of the file. The file size must be up to 500MB.
