I trimmed a few clips out of a few video files and want to remove the audio track from only a few of them. So far the only way I see to do that is to select the trimmed clip in the timeline, then tools/audio editor/voice removal. After doing that, it appears I may be able to insert an audio file for only those tracks. I'm not sure of the procedure.

Simply right click on the video clip in the timeline, select "Link/Unlink Video and Audio" and then click on the audio and delete.

You can, by holding the Ctrl key, select multiple video clips at one time, do the same for Delete.

You can add other audio in place if it fits or uses another track. XEON-E5-2680 v4 / Mem. 16GB DDR4

Thanks. That's very helpful. I'm new to the video editing relm. When adding a track to fill the place of the removed tracks, is there a prefered file format for the sound track? Looks like I can get MP3 or WAV files from. The track in the one clip that I'm leaving in is AAC if that matters.

PD17 supports many audio formats.

The audio output is determined in the selected video profile.

To save audio only, WAV is the best, creates large files, recommended for temporary files, it maintains 100% audio quality.

Option in place of MP3: M4A creates small files. XEON-E5-2680 v4 / Mem. 16GB DDR4
