Extracting Audio From a Video File

As always when importing audio material, a dialog is displayed allowing you to select different import options. The extracted audio stream is added to the project on a new audio track and can be edited like all other audio material.

There are several ways to extract audio from a video file:

• By activating the “Extract Audio From Video” option in the Import Video dialog.

• By using the “Audio from Video File” option on the Import submenu of the File menu.

  This will insert an audio event starting at the project cursor position on the selected audio track. If no audio track is selected, a new one will be created.

• By activating the “Extract Audio on Import Video File” option in the Preferences dialog (Video page).

  This will automatically extract the audio stream from any video file during import.

• By using the “Extract Audio from Video File” option on the Media menu.

  This creates an audio clip in the Pool, but does not add any events to the Project window.
