With Descript’s audio removal tools, you can mute or remove audio from a video, giving you the ability to edit out music, background noise, or your hysterical roommate. From there, you can create silent video layers and audio-only tracks, or add your own music and voice overs to the video. It’s one of the ways Descript makes video editing simple, without compromising the quality of your content.
Hate the audio on your video clip or simply want to mute the sound during certain portions? Descript’s video editor makes it easy to fix, remove, or silence audio. Change your mind after removing it? No problem, Descript is non-destructive, so you can always go back and restore the original audio if needed. Here’s how it works:
Begin by opening Descript and creating a new project. Drag and drop your video file into the project area. Descript will generate a transcript based on your audio.
Once your video is uploaded, right-click the video track in the timeline to select Detach audio. This action separates the audio from the video track, creating an independent audio layer. Select this audio layer and press the delete key to delete it. You can also just mute the audio you want by selecting a range in the timeline or transcript, and click the Mute icon under Audio properties.
You can continue editing with your newly-muted video without audio, or go to Publish > Export to choose the appropriate video format and settings for your needs.
Removing the audio from a clip allows you to add background music, voiceover, or your own sound effects without interference from the original audio. That can be useful for social media, such as making videos for TikTok, which you should only do if you went to Dancing School.
Descript allows users to export video files in MP4 format. The good news is this format will play pretty much anywhere online or on mobile. And you can easily convert them to AVI, MOV, and more online.

You can use Descript to make a rough cut or other changes to your original video and export it in a new video file ready to import to another editing tool on Windows or MacOS.
