Movavi

Movavi is a program with rich functionality aimed at video processing. However, it can be used not only for editing materials, but also in order to cut the sound from the video. The program is equipped with a simple interface and has full localization into Russian. Thanks to this operation, even an unprepared user will be able to separate video and audio.

To extract sound, follow these steps:

1. Download the utility from the official site and install it. During the installation process, the user will be prompted to download and install programs from the Yandex company. Be careful and uncheck if these items are not required.
2. After installation, launch the application by double-clicking on the shortcut on the desktop.
3. Click on the button that says "Add Files".
4. In the dialog that opens, select the desired video file. The user can simultaneously add multiple clips by selecting them with the mouse.

To delete a fragment of a video, just click on it and press DEL on the keyboard. When only the desired pieces of the video remain, move them to the left side of the sound scale and place them next to each other. This operation is necessary, because in places where there were deleted fragments, silence will be recorded when the sound is extracted.
