Separating the Audio from the Video Clip

This is how you separate the audio from the video so it can be edited separately.

> In time-line view of WMM (Windows Movie Maker), click the + button beside the Video track in the Time-line view

> Right-click the Audio track and Copy it. Then select Cut

Your entire video will be removed with the cut.. but don't worry, it's part of the process.

> Close the + Button beside the Video track

> Right-click on the Audio/Music track and select Paste

Now the original audio from the video is in a separate track and will play throughout the movie. But, you aren't done yet.

> Drag the original video into the Video track again from the Imported Media pane.

> Click the + button on the Video track to open the options once more

> Click Mute from the drop-down menu

> Close the + button
