‍

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to separate the audio from a video in Clipchamp.

‍

Drag your video clip from the My media panel to the timeline.
Click the video clip in the timeline.
Open the Audio tab in the editing panel on the right.
Click Detach audio.
The audio will appear as a separate clip below the video in the timeline as well as in My media panel.
You can now edit, move, or delete the audio independently from the video.

📌 Why this matters

Separating audio from video lets you replace poor-quality original audio with a clean voiceover, add background music that perfectly matches your pacing, or create audio-only content from existing videos. You can also sync multiple camera angles by aligning their separate audio tracks, or remove distracting background noise while keeping the visual intact.

This technique transforms rigid video files into flexible building blocks, giving you granular control over every element of your project rather than being locked into whatever audio was captured during filming.
