Quite often, serious tools are used "on trifles", performing the function, rather, of small utilities. So, Adobe Photoshop is used to remove red-eye, and Sony Vegas helps to separate the audio track from the video. There is nothing shameful, however, in this - after all, the rich tools and user-friendly interface help to cope with the task in just a couple of clicks.
Instructions
Step 1
Launch Sony Vegas and download the file you want. This can be done in the "File" -> "Open" menu or by opening the folder with the video in the usual "Explorer" and dragging the object icon onto the temporary table of the program. Please note that after loading, two tracks appeared on the temporary table: the top one shows video frames, the bottom one shows sound vibrations.
Step 2
Click on any of the tracks, which should select both. At this stage, audio and video are “linked” into a single group. You can separate them with the "ignore grouping" option: it is called by a special button on the top panel (Ignore Event Grouping), a context menu command (one of the lines that appears when you right-click) and the Ctrl + Shift + U key combination. After calling the command, reset the current selection by clicking anywhere on the screen and try to drag the audio track. Now it moves independently of audio.
Step 3
If you need to separate audio only in a part of the video, then the separated audio track needs to be limited. To do this, place a marker at the point where the sound should end and press the S key. The audio will be divided into two independent fragments. Obviously, if the sound should "return", then it is necessary to make a similar cut at the right moment.
Step 4
To keep the audio track separate from the video (or vice versa), after dividing, remove the unnecessary component from the editing table. After that choose from the menu "File" - "Render as". A window similar to the save file dialog will appear: at the bottom you can select the required output format. Obviously, if you choose.mp3, the video will not be saved. But, if a video format is selected for saving (such as.avi), then all the contents of the desktop will be saved: make sure that unnecessary audio tracks are not there.
