I would like to save the audio track separately, so that we can distribute either audio or video with audio, etc.

Is there anything already built into PD8 for this?

I know how to separate the audio track into a separate edit line on the editor screen.

I didn't read all previous messages, but did search and read a few pages of possible matches without finding an answer.

Thanks

Hi Tabletguy,

Right click on any of your clips that you have imported to the Library (where you drag your clips from), and choose Extract Audio.
This will create a seperate .wav audio file, and place it in the Library and your designated save folder.

Or, place the video clip in the Master track timeline > click Produce > click WMV.
In the drop down menu, chose Window Media Audio 8 Better than CD Quality > click Start.
This will produce a .wma audio file of your clip.

After selecting Produce, click on the ".WMV" button. Then select an audio profile from the drop-down list.

You don't need to separate the audio from the video clip beforehand.

I think that may be it without using 3rd party tools. But I'm still learning, so there may be other ways that I don't know about.
