Before you start

Extracting audio moves a clip's sound onto its own track under the video. After that the picture and the sound no longer have to move together: you can cut away from a shot while its sound keeps playing, or set the sound's level on its own.

The extracted sound stays inside your project. If what you need is the audio as a separate file, such as an M4A to share, that is a job for a converter rather than an editor.

  1. Step 1

    Start a blank project with a clip that has sound

    Tap Create, choose Start blank, pick a clip that contains audio, choose 9:16 and add it to the timeline.

  2. Step 2

    Select the clip and find Extract audio

    Tap the clip on the timeline, then swipe the clip tools until you reach Extract audio.

  3. Step 3

    Tap Extract audio

    The sound moves to its own audio track below the video. From now on you can trim or move the picture and the sound separately.

  4. Step 4

    Open Volume to check the audio track

    Open Volume to see the separate controls for the extracted sound, and set its level against the rest of the edit.

  5. Step 5

    Play it back, then export

    Play the edit to hear the result. Open Export, choose Instagram Reels and save to Gallery.

Quick answers

How do I separate the sound from a video?
Select the clip on the timeline, swipe the clip tools to Extract audio and tap it. The sound moves to its own track below the video.
Can I change the extracted audio's volume?
Yes. Select the new audio track and open Volume to set its level separately from the picture.
Why can't I extract audio from this clip?
A clip with a speed change can't have its audio extracted. Creovia Creator asks you to reset the speed first: set the clip back to normal speed, then tap Extract audio.
Will I hear the sound twice?
No. Creovia Creator mutes the clip's own sound when it extracts it, so only the new audio track plays.
Can I save the audio as its own file?
Not from Creovia Creator, which keeps extracted audio inside your project. To save a clip's sound as an M4A file, use the Extract audio tool in Creovia Convert.
