Extract background music from video
Extract background music from video is the “music-only” version of separation: you want the bed clean enough to reuse.
If you also need to remove music from video or take music out of video, you’ll still start the same way—separate first, then export the version you need.
When extracting the bed actually works
You’ll get the best results when:
the bed is steady (looped music, consistent soundtrack)
the voice sits clearly on top
there aren’t heavy sound effects glued to the bed
If the “music” includes crowd, FX, or ambience, your extracted bed may include leftovers.
A clean extraction workflow
Step 1: Separate with control
Use AI Music Separator so you can isolate the music bed as cleanly as possible.
Step 2: Inspect the music-only track
Listen for:
voice bleed
pumping artifacts
missing low end (sometimes separation thins bass)
If there’s mild bleed, it can still be usable under a new voiceover.
Step 3: Export in a reuse-friendly way
Use a lossless format if you can (WAV) for editing
Label clearly (clipname_music-only.wav)
Quick tip: keep a “safety mix”
Even if you want music-only, export:
music-only
the original mix (as reference)
a voice-first mix (in case you pivot).
