In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to detach audio in Clipchamp.

‍

Drag a video clip from the My media panel to the timeline.
Right-click the video clip in the timeline.
Select Audio.
Click Detach.
The audio is now separated from the video as a new clip in the timeline.
To remove the audio from the timeline, click the audio clip and press Delete.

📌 Why this matters

Detaching audio gives you precise control over your video's sound elements. You can replace poor-quality original audio with a cleaner voiceover, sync music that starts at a different timing than your video, or create audio-only clips for podcasts from video content.

Beyond basic editing, this technique lets you layer multiple audio tracks at different volumes, creating professional-sounding mixes where dialogue, background music, and sound effects each have their own timeline position and can be fine-tuned independently.
