Separating the audio from the material and editing the sound part separately is a common operation in the editing process. After splitting the audio, the video editing software VideoStudio can also perform operations such as mixing and editing the sound material, adjusting the audio, and adding audio filters. This article will introduce in detail the problem of why VideoStudio audio splitting cannot be used and the method of VideoStudio audio splitting.

1. Why can't I use VideoStudio Split Audio?

The "Split Audio" function of VideoStudio cannot be used, and the software cannot separate the audio from the video. This is probably caused by the following three reasons.

1. The video material does not contain audio

Some materials do not contain audio. These materials only have images but no sound. After inserting such materials into VideoStudio Video Editing Software, click the rightmost button to open the options panel. At this moment, in the "Edit" tab, "Split Video" is grayed out.

Similarly, click the "Mix" button on the toolbar and you will find that there is no waveform displayed on the material at this moment (there is no audio, so it cannot be split).

2. The material is muted

In the video editing software VideoStudio, right-click the material to open the audio extension option, and click "Mute". At this time, the sound waveform of the video material is eliminated, and a red mark will appear on the left side of the material, indicating that the material is "muted".

In addition to manually splitting videos, VideoStudio can also scan video content and automatically create editing split points. See the detailed operation demonstration below.

If you are worried about the inaccurate split, you can use "Ctrl key + mouse wheel" to enlarge the timeline display (the magnifying glass button at the bottom of the toolbar can also enlarge the display of the track editing area).

Click the "scissors" shaped button below the preview window to split the video clip.
