While editing videos, there are times when we only need the video’s sound. Most of the time, video makers need this for J Cuts and L Cuts or B-roll. Such edits can still be done without removing the audio file, but doing so makes the video project lighter and keeps the Kinemaster app from crashing.
Kinemaster makes extracting audio from a video accessible with just one click. Find out how to do it by reading on.
When the video editor in the Kinemaster app sets apart the audio from a video so you can use the audio track independently, this is called “Audio Extraction in Kinemaster.”
It is splitting the audio from the video and putting them on two tracks in the video timeline.
Difference between Audio Extraction and Muting Audio from a Video in Kinemaster?
Most people don’t know the difference between extracting audio and muting audio from a video:
- Audio extraction removes the sound from the video and puts it on an audio track so that you can edit the sound and the video separately.
- Muting audio from a video in Kinemaster means completely removing the sound from the video clip.
Why do we need to Extract Audio from video in Kinemaster?
The following are some reasons why Audio Extraction in Kinemaster could be helpful:
- Audio extraction and muting are vital to adding voiceovers, narration, or commentary to your video.
- When you extract the audio, you have more power over creative elements like adding audio effects like reverb, echo, or equalization to improve the overall sound quality or make specific audio atmospheres.
- Kinemaster extracts the audio as a separate file; you can easily use it in other projects or change it to work on different devices or in different ways.
