HELP !! looking for sequence my first video file


Denise Brunner

Recommended Posts

OK, need a little help. Trying to sequence my first video file, there are no wizards to help except the tapper. Does anyone know how to strip off the audio from the video file so I can make a MP3 file to sequence on and then cut and paste the sequence to the video file???

I use Cyberlink Power Director to 'extract' the audio from my video files. I then use this audio file to program with. Then when its show time I change the media file in the sequence editor back to the video file.

A google search for "extracting audio from video" turns up lots of links.

I have never tried it, but looks like you can use Audacity...if it is an MPEG video:

If by chance the video is on YouTube, you can use this free software (mp3Rocket ) to get an MP3.

I use AVS4YOU (avs4you.com), very short learning curve and good help file. works really well, removing and adding new audio is a snap, and cheap.

Right now the file is an AVI, but I probably can convert it. The AVS4YOU, which program is the one you use. The Power director, do you know if the deluxe version is good enough or do I need the more expensive version??

I just tried using Audacity on an AVI file and it extracted the audio.

You will need to download a file to do it, but Audacity will direct you to it when you first try to do it..

you will also have to reboot your computer.

use the IMPORT and not the OPEN file...

When I said "use the IMPORT and not the OPEN file"
I meant when you bring the video file into Audacity (and it should be Import>Audio)...

EDIT: Actually I just tried using File>Open and it worked also...

If this is what you did, did you get a message first about an FFmpeg?

You can check to see if you have it by going to:

EDIT>Preferences then click on Libraries

The below window should pop up:

If you click on "Locate" it will check to see if you have the correct file...
if it doesn't find it, then click on "DownLoad"

Hey Jim,

Tried to do what you have suggested but I can not get the library to add the ffmpeg. I can download the file and install it. I can locate it in the window but after I click OK it still says it is not there !!

Did you reboot your computer?

Then...did you try Audacity and see if it will work anyway?

I'm headed home...will check in again in about an hour...
