How to extract audio from video

1
Step 1: Record or import your video
Use Camtasia’s recorder to record a high quality video or import your pre-recorded video into the editor. Once imported, drag the video onto the timeline to begin editing.
2
Step 2: Separate the audio and edit
Right-click on the video clip and select “Separate Audio and Video” from the menu. This will isolate the audio track from the video, putting it in its own, editable track. After it is separated, you can edit it directly.
3
Step 3: Export or replace audio
Once the audio is on it’s own separate track and you’ve completed any desired editing, you have the option to replace it with a new audio track, or export the audio file independently. Whether you’re silencing the video or swapping out audio for a different language or background music, Camtasia makes it simple to manage audio independently from the video.

The audio extraction process made simple

Camtasia provides several advantages when extracting audio from video files, making it a top choice for creators and editors alike.

Non-destructive editing

Camtasia’s audio extraction is non-destructive, which means that it won’t alter your original audio or video file. You can safely extract, edit, or replace the audio without changing the video itself. This means you can revert back at any moment.
