Audio from videos · Audio from a screen recording

Turn a saved screen recording into audio you can take along.

Extract the sound without playing and recording the whole video again.

Quick answer

Use ClipDock to extract M4A audio from your screen recording, save it in Files, then import it into TuneTrace. Listen offline or with the screen locked. A silent video cannot produce missing audio.

Common questions

Can I import the screen-recording video directly into TuneTrace?

TuneTrace imports audio files. Extract the sound as M4A first, then import it.

Do I need to convert the extracted audio to MP3?

No. TuneTrace can play a valid M4A file directly.

Does extraction separate dialogue and music?

No. It keeps the video’s existing audio mix; voices, music and effects are not separated into different tracks.
