Maybe you want to make a movie clear or to include your own track, the motivations can be diverse, but the outcome remains the same: sometimes it is necessary to remove sound from video.

And while there are some superpower video editing programs purposed for this task, many are so complex to use that it can be a bit overwhelming for the average user.

How do I choose the best method to remove audio from a clip?

For many years, Windows Movie Maker was the go-to app for users tired of noisy background sounds until Microsoft deprecated it.

Fortunately, there are some lighter and friendlier third-party sound removal tools that will help you easily mute a video.

Not only do they mute any distracting sounds that get recorded when one is creating a movie with a camera but also allow you to insert matching sounds.

Our team has been looking for the best methods to remove audio from a video in Windows 10 and 11 and here are the shortlisted options.

We also included some online and free tools to do that so read our entire guide to choose the best ones for you.

How do I remove audio from a video?

1. Use Adobe Premiere Pro

Import your video clips by pressing CTRL+I keyboard shortcut or simply drag them into the dashboard.

Once imported, drag and drop the video/videos into the timeline.

A super-easy way to remove audio from a video clip is by using Adobe Premiere Pro. Give it a try and you’ll see that by youself!

Take your projects to the next level and remove sound from any video with this industry-leading video editor.

2. Use Wondershare Filmora

Load your videos to the software.

Drag the video from file tray to the Video Timeline, then right-click it and select Audio Detach. Immediately, you’ll see a separate audio file in the Music Timeline.

You can add some music files that fit for this video, or just click Create to export only the video track. In the next window, pick the format to save it on your PC.

Wondershare Filmora is a great video editing software tool, especially for casual users who often look for a simple method to split audio from video.

Expert Tip: Some PC issues are hard to tackle, especially when it comes to corrupted repositories or missing Windows files. If you are having troubles fixing an error, your system may be partially broken. We recommend installing Restoro, a tool that will scan your machine and identify what the fault is.

There are plenty of video conversion packages that can perform this task. However, this tool distinguishes itself by being straightforward and surprisingly quick in doing its work.

3. Use VLC Media Player

Click Media (as shown) then press Convert/Save.

Click Add from the next screen.

Navigate to the current location of the video whose sound you want to remove. Select it from wherever it is then click Open.

Again, click Convert/Save.

Under the Profile section, click the wrench icon, then select a suitable profile (we recommend MP4/MOV) under Encapsulation and hit the Create button.

Moving on, go to the Video codec tab, name the profile and enable (simply check) the Keep original video track checkbox, then click Create.

Next head over to the Audio codec and this time you will deactivate the Audio provision by deselecting it.

It’s now time to choose where you want the new video file saved. Click Browse next to the Destination File, select the desired location, type a fitting name for this file, and click Start.

VLC is one of the best free cross-platform multimedia players that will not just play most multimedia files but also comes with significant video editing capabilities including an audio removal feature.

4. Use Free Online AudioRemover

Click Browse to select the relevant video file.

Press the Upload Video.

Finally, click the Download button to access the clean Video.

There are a couple of free online services that allow users to eliminate audio from videos easily without re-encoding them.

One such tool is the AudioRemover, a handy online sound remover that supports multiple video file formats such as MP4, AVI, and MOV included. However, our personal favorite is the Online UniConverter.

This tool is quick to remove sound from videos and it even handles watermark removal. Plus, it’s absolutely free and you can use it straight away, in your browser.

Then, click on Choose Files to upload your video. You can attach files directly from your device, use Dropbox, Google Drive, or even YouTube.

The muting process will start automatically, and this will take no more than a few seconds and, in the end, hit the Download button and store the muted video locally or choose to continue the fun and mute another one.

Since the stoppage of Movie Maker, the best way to remove audio from MP4 or videos, in general, is to rely on third-party apps or online applications.

All the solutions listed above will get you to the same result. The only thing left to do is to select the best one for you.
