How to extract a voiceover from a video
Voiceover extraction is usually about getting the narration off a finished video — for repurposing, captioning, or translation. VideoSplit gives you the full audio mix; if the video has both music and narration, you will hear both in the export.
VideoSplit does not separate voice from music — that is a different problem (neural source separation, which is what our sister tool VocalSplit does). VideoSplit pulls the full audio mix exactly as the video holds it.
Step-by-step
- Open VideoSplit.io. Any modern browser.
- Drop your source video. MP4, MOV, MKV or WEBM. Works for voiceovers in tutorials, explainer videos, documentaries, anything.
- Pick WAV or MP3. WAV is best if you intend to process the voiceover further (EQ, de-ess, noise reduction). MP3 is best for direct distribution.
- Download the audio. Saves with the original video's name.
Tips for better results
- If the video has both voiceover and background music and you want only the voice, run the WAV through VocalSplit after extraction.
- For translating a voiceover, feed the WAV into Whisper for transcription, then translate the text — not the audio.
- Voiceovers recorded in a treated studio sound drastically cleaner than home-recorded ones; extraction cannot fix a dirty source.
