Step 3: Mark the part of the audio track you want to extract (optional)

If you need the whole audio track, proceed directly to Step 4.

If you want, say, only a five-minute audio track portion that appears at the end of the video, you'll need to mark the necessary audio portion before proceeding to next step.

To mark the part of the audio track you wish to extract, do the following:

• switch to the Editor Tab and double-click your file. The audio track will be visualized in the area on the right:

• click-and-drag within the waveform display to highlight the part of the audio track you wish to keep;

• Press the Trim button - all audio except the selected part will be removed from the audio track.
