Have you ever wanted to be able to extract a song from a video that you were watching? It could be that you just want to save the song from a music video, or grab the soundtrack from a movie, or maybe even save the theme song from a TV show that you like.
The good news is that it is possible to extract song tracks from videos, and it just takes a little bit of editing to do so. While you may not be that well-versed with video editing, if you use Movavi Video Editor you’ll find that it is actually very easy to extract the song that you want.
If you want to start now then launch Movavi Video Editor and select the ‘Create project in full feature mode’ option in the menu. After that load the video with the song that you want to edit, by clicking on the ‘Add Media Files’ button and selecting it.
Technically if you want to extract the entire audio track from the video you could immediately click on the ‘Export’ button. When you do you’ll be able to choose the format that you want, and in this case you should use Movavi Video Editor to save it in an audio
format – effectively extracting the audio only.
In many cases however you may want to only save part of the audio track, such as a specific song that you’re interested in. If so, you should first trim video to isolate that song – which is really quite easy in Movavi Video Editor anyway.
To trim out parts of your video in Movavi Video Editor, you should first move the red marker along the ‘Timeline’ till you get to the start of the song. After that you should click on the ‘Split’ button (i.e. the scissors icon) to split the video at that point, then select the segment you want to delete and press the ‘Delete’ key on your keyboard. The same process should be used to trim out excess video after the song, and by the time you’re done you should have isolated it completely.
After you’ve isolated the song, you can then save it in an audio format, as mentioned previously. That is all that is needed to extract and trim a song from a video, but there’s a lot more that you can do with Movavi Video Editor if you choose to explore its other features. In fact by spending a few minutes experimenting with the features that are available you will be able to improve the quality of videos, apply special effects, merge video clips, insert animated transitions, and much more.
As you can see with Movavi Video Editor it is easy to isolate and extract any song that you want from a video. That is what makes it a useful tool to extract songs, as it will let you save just the song that you would like to – as opposed to the entire audio track.
