We recorded a panorama with an expressive landscape, but extraneous sounds spoil all the harmony? Don’t rush to send the file to the trash – the problem can be easily fixed using a video editor. From this article you will learn how to remove sound from a video and replace it in the VideoMONTAGE program.
A couple of clicks and there is no sound
“VideoMONTAZH” is an editor designed to make video processing as easy as possible for beginners. Its functionality includes all the basic tools necessary to obtain high-quality results. In addition to comprehensive improvement of video footage, the software provides a number of functions for working with audio. To erase soundtrack from the file, install the editor on your PC and follow the instructions below.
☛ №1. After launching the video editor, click the button labeled "New project" in the start window. Next step the software will offer to set the format of the future video file, you can select one of the proposed options or leave the option "Install automatically".
You can choose one of standard formats or enter the value manually
☛ №2. Drag the clip from which you want to remove audio to the bar at the bottom of the screen. Use the command "Import video", if you want to copy a video track from a DVD. After the desired file has been downloaded, go to the tab "Edit" and select "Sound replacement".
If you add several videos, each of them needs to be edited separately
☛ №3. To completely remove sound from a video, you need to click on the command Add Audio > Select Music from Collection. A window with a list of compositions will appear in front of you, find the track among them "Silence" and apply it. The name of the audio track speaks for itself - the sound will completely disappear from the video.
If the video lasts less than 15 minutes, trim the “Silence” track; if longer, add it to the list again
The lack of sound can cause discomfort and sometimes anxiety when viewing. Directors often use a similar technique to create so-called suspense, completely immersing the viewer in what is happening on the screen. And if in a movie such an artistic technique works like a charm, then in an ordinary video it looks as if the creator forgot to attach a sound track. If you do not intend to add tension to watching the video, we recommend adding music to the background.
In addition to “Silence” in the collection you will find several more melodies that suit different moods - calm and cheerful, quiet and louder. Select an audio recording that matches the content of the video, or upload your own by clicking "Select a file". If the video recording is long, you can connect several tracks or loop one, adding it again.
You can select any part of the audio track; it is not at all necessary to trim the melody only from the beginning or end
The program also allows you to create from several excerpts, applying a single musical background to the entire project. To do this, you need to place video fragments on the slide bar and open the tab "Music". By clicking on the plus icon, select music files, adjust their duration and sequence. To remove the original audio tracks from all videos at once, simply uncheck the command "Put music on original sound» . If you wish, you can leave this function enabled, in which case the background melody will be overlaid on top of the original one.
You can edit the sound of background music, make it loud or, conversely, barely audible
Correct and improve your video in 5 minutes
Now you know how to remove sound from a video and forget about spoiled footage forever. However, installing the “VideoMONTAZH” program will open up many more possibilities for you in terms of processing video files! Just a couple of minutes is enough to polish and improve even an unremarkable video.
- Trim off excess
After uploading a clip, you can reduce the size of the video and cut out excess, simply by marking the boundaries of the segment that you want to leave. Move the black marks on the timeline or fill the time period manually.
The program will allow you to remove unnecessary things from the video while maintaining high quality
If an extra object ruins the composition, use cropping, so you can highlight the desired area of the image, focusing on the main thing.
The same option will help you get rid of horizontal or vertical black bars in your video.
- Adjust the speed
Manage time the way you want - speed up the clouds slowly creeping across the sky or, conversely, slow down the falling leaves from a tree. Correctly adjusted speed can greatly increase the expressiveness of a clip. To change it, just select the appropriate command from the drop-down list. So you can speed up or slow down the clip by 1.5, 2 or 3 times with just one click!
Videos sped up or slowed down in the program will also not lose quality
- Improve image quality
“Video Montage” will eliminate jitter in the frame in seconds using the option "Image stabilization", which you will find in the tab "Improvements". Check the box next to the corresponding line and evaluate how much the image has changed. In the same section, you can make the picture brighter, increase the saturation of shades, or, conversely, eliminate overexposure by darkening the frame. In the “Cropping” section you can either rotate the video 90 degrees or cut off the excess.
Using auto-enhancement tools, you can adjust the color balance in your video in just one click
- Apply effects
Go to the tab "Effects"– and you will see dozens of filters, ready to instantly make your video original and atmospheric. The presets are divided into thematic categories - vintage, romantic, children's. To apply an effect, just select it with one click.
With stylish filters from the program's collection, your video will look more professional
If you wish, you can use manual settings and develop your own unique filter from scratch. To do this, you need to select several improvements and adjust the parameters of each of them. The video editing program offers to tint the image, age it, apply film grain, color noise, spray or engraving effects, apply masks, highlights or flares.
By combining different effects, you can use completely new, unique filters in each of your projects.
The program is not limited to the described functions - replace the background, create music video cards, record with a webcam. With the VideoMONTAGE editor, nothing is impossible or inaccessible - download the software, and working with video files will become your favorite hobby!
I needed to remove the second audio track from about 50 video files. Of course, it would be possible to open each file and delete the second audio track manually, but laziness did not allow me to do this. Laziness is known to be the engine of progress. Therefore, I decided to take advantage of the results of this progress, namely the program VirtualDubMod and its ability to work in batch mode. The program has quite rich capabilities for working with video files.
A short description of the program:
VirtualDubMod- a program based on source codes VirtualDub and many useful additions. The interface of VirtualDubMod is similar to VirtualDub.
VirtualDubMod has a significant difference - the Audio menu has been replaced with Streams, which reflects its focus on working with multiple audio streams and subtitle channels. VirtualDubMod fully supports MKV and OGM containers. Unlike VirtualDub, VirtualDubMod can open not only AVI and MPEG-1 files, but also VOB, MPEG-2, OGM, Matroska (MKV). It also supports many audio formats: AC3, WAV, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, DTS, SRT files (ASCII/Unicode).
One of the most important differences from VirtualDub is the ability to work with multiple audio streams, i.e. V AVI file You can add multiple audio tracks in different formats.
Opening similar files from DVD - VOB is also supported.
VirtualDubMod has many useful features:
- Support for OGM and MKV containers (Matroska). Supports multiple audio streams in one file.
- Supports audio streams in OGG/VBR MP3/AC3/DTS formats. Working with AC3 tracks and MP3 with variable bitrate (VBR)
- Support for title streams in SRT format (ASCII/Unicode).
- The ability to add comments to streams and sections of a video stream (chapters, similar to DVD), all also with Unicode support.
- MPEG2 import support. Expanded AVISynth support (AVS editor, syntax highlighting with AVISynth support, AVS templates).
- Improved error detection in video streams. NET mod, the so-called distributed network processing/coding. Extended information about the video file.
- Export frames to PNG.
First, download the program (if, of course, we don’t already have it). Download the program from
We need to download the complete package of files. The complete package of files contains the phrase in the file name for downloading All_inclusive
At the time of downloading by me, the file was called: VirtualDubMod_1_5_10_2_All_inclusive.zip
If you download not the full package, but latest version, then you may encounter curses from the program due to the absence of some dlls.
Download, unpack the archive with the program and run the program VirtualDubMod.exe
All files for which the second audio track should be deleted were located in the d:\video1\ directory and were called:
01.avi, 02.avi, 03.avi…51.avi, 52.avi
Let's get straight to work:
File -> Open Open the first file from the directory (in our case it is d:\video2\01.avi)
Streams -> Stream list The window opened Available streams Select the second audio track with the mouse and press the button on the right [ Disable]. And then press the [ button OK]
First select the directory with the source material (in our case it is d:\video1\)
Then we select the directory in which the finished files will be saved without the second audio track (in our case it is d:\video2\).
A personal computer is not just a tool for work. Perhaps this was the case initially, with the help personal computer websites were created, worked with 3D graphics, complex calculations were made, but over time, the computer increasingly began to be used for entertainment purposes.
Computer technology has gained truly wide popularity mainly thanks to video games and entertainment video content. Why wait for a movie to come out on TV when you can easily download it from the Internet and watch it with the dubbing that suits the user’s taste.
One way or another, the computers of most modern users are “filled” with multimedia content.
Movies and music make up the majority of the occupied space. This is not surprising, since the film high resolution can take up from ten to thirty gigabytes of disk space, not to mention the 4K format, which also has its admirers.
Why delete audio tracks?
In fact, the most effective way to reduce the size of a video file is conversion, but this is a rather complicated procedure that is not accessible to all users.
Before you start converting videos, you need to understand all the intricacies because converting a file almost always leads to improved quality of the material.
In addition, for an acceptable conversion speed, the user must have a fairly powerful system, especially the processor.
However, there is a much more effective way to significantly reduce the size of your video collection. The fact is that high-quality video recording uses the same high-quality sound.
In other words, the volume of an audio track embedded in a file can take up at least 500 megabytes. Everything would be fine if films did not use several sound tracks at once. Sometimes, a film has up to ten built-in tracks, the total size of which sometimes exceeds the volume of the video sequence.
Most often, a film has one or two high-quality dubs, while the rest of the dubbing is a one-voice translation or amateur dubbing over the original sound.
Working with MKVTool
To remove an unnecessary audio track, you can use a proposal such as MKVTool. This program is free.
After installing and launching the application, you need to drag the video file into it, after which a list of all available audio tracks will appear at the bottom of the program.
To define an audio track, you need to select it, after which the name will appear in the “Track name” section. Often, instead of the name, the inscriptions rus or eng are indicated.
In order to find out which track is of the highest quality, the film must be opened using any player with a function for switching audio tracks, for example PotPlayer or KMPlayer.
To remove unnecessary audio tracks, you just need to uncheck them. Video recordings and audio tracks are specified as codecs, that is, if films have an AVI container, the video recording itself can be compressed using MPEG -4.
In addition, the list may contain subtitle files, which are also deleted by unchecking them. If desired, you can delete all audio tracks.
If instead of an audio track, you delete a video sequence, separately from the video, the audio track will remain, which, if desired, can be connected to the video separately, or embedded in another video file.
At the bottom of the program, you can specify the path where the file will be saved, and then click on the “Start processing” button.
Adding a new audio track
Using the MKVTool program, the user can not only delete unnecessary tracks, but also add new ones. This is especially useful for reducing file size.
For example, a person can cut an audio track with a bitrate of 1000 kbps, then convert it to MP3 format and 192 kbps bitrate and add it back to the video.
Since this did not change the duration of the audio track, there will be no desynchronization with the video.
For adding new track, it must be dragged into the same window as the main file, after which it will automatically appear in the lower list, next to other data.
Now, a person checks the compressed audio track and unchecks them from other tracks, after which he can begin processing the file.
To summarize, it can be noted that MKVTool this moment It is the most functional application for working with audio tracks.
In addition, unlike other video editors, MKVTool does not convert audio or video, so file processing takes a matter of minutes, and processor power does not play any role.
However, you should remember one important detail: after processing, the film is automatically placed in the MKV container, support for which is implemented mainly on computers.
Often in the process of creating a video in Sony Vegas, you have to remove the sound of a separate segment of the video, or the entire filmed material. For example, if you decide to create a video clip, you may need to remove the audio track from the video file. But in Sony Vegas, even such a seemingly simple action can raise questions. In this article we will look at how to remove sound from video in Sony Vegas.
If you are sure that you will no longer need an audio track, you can easily delete it. Just right-click on the audio track in the timeline and select “Delete Track”
How to mute an audio track in Sony Vegas?
Mute a fragment
