Separate audio from video

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

Hi Rod --

Are you using Windows Movie Maker 2.0 or 2.1? (version 2.1 is installed by
the XPSP2 service pack)

Here's something to try:
Drag the video file that you want as the audio in your finished movie to the
"Audio / Music" track on the timeline. (This gives you a clean copy of the
audio)
Drag the video clips you want to the "Video Track" -- this populates both
the Video and the Audio track. (You can see the audio track if you click the
"+" next to the word "Video" on the timeline.)
Select the clips on the "Video" track that you don't want to hear the audio
on. Choose "Clip" / "Audio" / "Mute" from the menu bar to silence them ...


Hope this helps!
