Hi

 

I have created a video using various clips of other videos. 

 

I have managed to remove visual clips of someone i do not want in the video.  However, there are a couple of key visual segments that i want to keep, but i can hear this persons voice over it! 

So, i need to remove the audio, we are talking about 3 seconds here (on a few ocassions).

 

I have been using the 'Quick' not 'Advanced' timeline; as i've found the 'Quick' meets my requirements and looks simpler!

 

Thanks

It's not quite clear what you're asking, Chris. What steps did you use to remove the audio from your clips? Are you saying this method doesn't work on some clips?

 

You also say you can "hear this person's voice over it". I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you saying that you simply want to remove this audio completely or are you trying to mix it with other audio, like a voiceover or music?

Hi @Steve Grisetti - I havent attempted to remove any audio yet...

 

I've removed a person from all the videos - so thats job done.

However, in the remaining video, you can hear his voice. 

I want to keep the video but remove all audio (of a few seconds only); as i appreciate i cant just take out HIS voice, so i want to take out all audio (Mute it).

 

Hope this is clearer.

 

Thanks

@Bill Sprague Thanks - i'll see what Steve says also then 🙂

I did feel perhaps the answer lies in theAdvanced mode- but it does look more complex, so i came here for some advice before i made an attempt.

 

Once i've done your suggestion, do i then move the clip back to the basic timeline?

or do i need to move ALL videos to the Advanced timeline?

 

thanks


I'm not used to the Quick mode so I thought I would try it!   Moving from Advanced back to Quick does always work well. 

 

In the Quick mode, make cuts to isolate your 3 second section.  Select the 3 second section and pick the Adjustments menu in the upper right corner under "Fix".   One of the selections is "Volume".  Lower it to what you want.
