i really thought i was mistaken when i saw that the extract audio feature is now a pro feature, because im an editor and my edits cannot simply exist without this single feature.
i have been using capcut for a long time, and never had such complaints, but this. this really frustrated me and i cant even make any more edits, simply because i cannot import audio from my computer files. this is ridiculous. capcut, if youre reading this, please fix this. i cannot simply change what editing software i use, and i really love capcut, but with the extract audio feature gone pro, im really really disappointed. i didnt expect this.
looking forward to a positive reply and action.
Hi,
CapCut can move certain features (as in this case "extract audio" feature) to PRO with latest updates. You can read the post regarding "Too many features becoming PRO one by one?" from here.
- If the extract audio feature became Pro feature right after a latest update of the app, a simple solution would be to revert to an earlier version. Use this link to download an earlier version of CapCut and remove the current installation and install the earlier version after you have downloaded. With the earlier version, hopefully you should be able to use the extracted audio function.
- Be careful though as latest versions generally come with bug fixes and security patches which will be missing in earlier version.
- Use CapCut's online audio extractor: CapCut offers a free online tool that allows users to extract audio from videos without requiring a Pro subscription. This web-based solution enables you to separate audio tracks from video files while maintaining the original sound quality
- Several free applications and online tools can extract audio from video files. While these may not offer the seamless integration of CapCut, they can serve as effective alternatives for your audio extraction needs. E.g. Biteable or Restream. Once you have extracted the audio from these sources, you can reimport to CapCut and continue editing.
- If you feel buying CapCut PRO worth it you can give it a try considering the vast set of additional features and functionality which will be unlocked with it. Consider the financial implication and your video editing needs before you give it a try. You can also experience the "in-app" 7 day free trial before you decide on this.
Finally, here are the steps on how to extract audio in CapCut:
- Import your video: Drag and drop your video clip onto the timeline in CapCut.
- Select the video clip: Click on the video clip in the timeline to select it.
- Right-click on the video clip: Right-click directly on the selected video clip in the timeline.
- Choose "Extract Audio": In the right-click menu that appears, you should see an option that says "Extract Audio". Click on "Extract Audio".
- Audio separated: CapCut will then separate the audio from your video. You will see a separate audio track appear below your video clip in the timeline. You can now edit the audio and video tracks independently.
