00:00:00,005 --> 00:00:01,005
- [Instructor] I'm going to show you how

2
00:00:01,005 --> 00:00:04,008
to export just the audio from a project.

3
00:00:04,008 --> 00:00:07,007
Maybe I want to use the audio track in a podcast,

4
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:10,004
possibly in another project, or I want

5
00:00:10,004 --> 00:00:12,001
to do some high end polishing

6
00:00:12,001 --> 00:00:14,001
in my third-party audio editor.

7
00:00:14,001 --> 00:00:16,000
This is the one I use the most.

8
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,009
Now, be aware that when I export audio

9
00:00:18,009 --> 00:00:21,007
Camtasia will mix all active audio tracks

10
00:00:21,007 --> 00:00:25,002
into a single file, in this case, that's not a problem

11
00:00:25,002 --> 00:00:27,004
because I just have my vocal track.

12
00:00:27,004 --> 00:00:31,008
But, let's say, I had a music track on top of that

13
00:00:31,008 --> 00:00:35,003
and I want to do some detail work on just my voiceover.

14
00:00:35,003 --> 00:00:38,004
What I would want to do is isolate my vocal track

15
00:00:38,004 --> 00:00:42,004
by temporarily disabling any other tracks.

16
00:00:42,004 --> 00:00:44,003
Okay, with that taken care of,

17
00:00:44,003 --> 00:00:46,009
I'm just going to go ahead and delete this.

18
00:00:46,009 --> 00:00:49,007
To export just my audio, I'm going to go up here

19
00:00:49,007 --> 00:00:52,002
to Export, not the green Export in the corner.

20
00:00:52,002 --> 00:00:54,007
We're going to stick with this one, it's a little different.

21
00:00:54,007 --> 00:00:59,000
And I'm going to choose Export Audio Only.

22
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,004
I'm going to go ahead and browse to my working folder.

23
00:01:02,004 --> 00:01:05,002
And I'll name the file something that makes sense to me.

24
00:01:05,002 --> 00:01:08,003
From the dropdown, I have three export options.

25
00:01:08,003 --> 00:01:12,001
If I'm exporting to an audio editor, I want a lossless file.

26
00:01:12,001 --> 00:01:15,005
So I always go with WAV, but if I'm exporting

27
00:01:15,005 --> 00:01:17,004
for the web or to send to a client,

28
00:01:17,004 --> 00:01:21,008
or a coworker I may choose MP3 or M4A.

29
00:01:21,008 --> 00:01:23,007
These are both compressed formats

30
00:01:23,007 --> 00:01:26,009
that will create a much smaller file size.

31
00:01:26,009 --> 00:01:29,006
In this case, I'm going to use the WAV file

32
00:01:29,006 --> 00:01:33,000
because I'm going to be editing in my third-party editor.

33
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,009
Click Save, Camtasia will render

34
00:01:35,009 --> 00:01:38,003
out just the audio from my project.

35
00:01:38,003 --> 00:01:40,005
And this is going to be a whole lot quicker

36
00:01:40,005 --> 00:01:44,007
than a regular project because it's just the audio.

37
00:01:44,007 --> 00:01:45,008
Now, let's go ahead and open up

38
00:01:45,008 --> 00:01:50,006
that folder, where I sent it to and here's my vocal track.

39
00:01:50,006 --> 00:01:53,005
Now, just for comparison here, here's the exact same track

40
00:01:53,005 --> 00:01:56,009
but in MP3 format, 1.76 megabytes,

41
00:01:56,009 --> 00:01:58,008
you can see it's a lot easier.

42
00:01:58,008 --> 00:02:00,004
And that's how you export just

43
00:02:00,004 --> 00:02:02,003
the audio from your Camtasia project.
