Edit movies, TV shows, and video clips with Audacity

How to extract audio clips from movies and TV shows with Audacity

[…] find a tool to remove the DRM and convert your video to MP4. Learn what podcasters need to know about copyright laws from my previous episode with Gordon Firemark. 2. Install FFmpeg By default, Audacity can’t open video files. Simply install the free FFmpeg plugin to allow Audacity to import and export many more audio and video formats. 3. Open your DRM-free video in Audacity With Audacity setup and your video free of DRM, simply drag it into an Audacity window to have Audacity convert the audio for use. You may want to save this audio if you ever want to edit it again, or you can discard it. For convenience, you can normalize your audio and convert it to mono (if your podcast will be in mono). This will make it easier to see and hear the audio as you edit, but it’s note important to the quality of the audio. 4. Find and select the audio you want by timecode Watch your video to find the clip you want and look at the time. If you know you want the audio from 12 minutes in, go to 00:12:00 in your audio and select as much as you want. When you have audio selected, you can press play (Spacebar) to hear just your selection. Include about half to a whole second of extra audio (but no extra words) at the beginning and end. 5. Extract the sound clip With your excerpt selected, there are three ways you can extract it for your use. A. Duplicate selections and Export Multiple This is the easiest method for batch processing because you’re working with all clips in a single project. With your audio selected, press Ctrl-D (Windows/Linux) or Cmd-D (OS X) to duplicate the selected audio to a new track. Either Solo your new track and edit/enhance as necessary (coming up), or continue finding and selecting more excerpts and repeat step 1. Select all your tracks and Normalize (see main #7 below). From the Track Control Panel, optionally name each track as you want its file name to be. Go to File menu > Export Multiple… Select your file-naming preference and Export. Re-import your new WAV files into separate projects for further editing, process them externally, or leave them as is for use. B. Export selection This is the quickest way to make and name your clips as you go. With your audio selected, go to File menu > Export Selection…. Enter the file name you wish for this audio. Find and select more excerpts and repeat steps 1–2. Re-import your new WAV files into separate […]
