A video is simply another source for audio separation. The picture is used for preview and identification, while the task still produces two audio files: vocals and background audio.
This is useful for interviews, live clips, lectures, and creator videos where the original audio file is no longer available.
Key takeaways
- Confirm that the video actually contains an audio track.
- Portrait and landscape videos use the same separation task.
- The output is audio; the source video is not rewritten.
- Check dialogue under music and noisy sections separately.
Before uploading the video
Play the video locally and make sure sound is present. A silent export, an unsupported audio codec, or a damaged file can look normal in a video player while providing no usable track to the separator.
Use the closest copy to the camera or editing export. Messaging apps may reduce both video and audio quality.
- Keep the file under the displayed upload limit.
- Avoid screen recordings when the original clip is available.
- Use content you are permitted to process.
Separate the video's audio

Upload and preview
Choose the video and confirm its duration and preview frame.

Submit one separation task
The same task model is used for audio and video sources; no video conversion project is created.

Preview the two results
Listen to vocals and background audio from Recent Tasks, then download what you need.
Scenes that need a closer listen
Music under speech, applause, wind, and large rooms are difficult because they overlap with the voice or become part of its reverberation. Start by checking these sections rather than listening only to a clean sentence.
If the voice is intelligible but slightly colored, it may still be a useful edit source. If words disappear, try a cleaner export of the same clip.
Frequently asked questions
Does the tool remove sound from the original video?
No. It reads the video's audio and produces two separate audio results; the source video is unchanged.
Why does a video report that no audio was found?
The file may be silent, use an unsupported or damaged audio stream, or expose incomplete metadata. Confirm playback and try an original MP4, MOV, or WebM export.
