Removing only music from an already edited video.

[FrenchSkater]

Hello everyone ! For an archive Instagram page, I would like to re-edit a part that I put together a long time ago. I no longer have the raw videos or the editing project in Premiere Pro. (the share in question dates back to 2013)

I would like to simply remove the music I used and leave the raw skate sound only. Do you know by some miracle if this is possible ? I don't want to remove the general audio and just put back another music with the silent skate sound. The importance is above all to hear the pop and the landing of the tricks. I don't know if it's possible, well, with computers and technology everything is possible when you think about it.. Thanks to whoever finds the solution haha !

I don't think there's a magical simple solution, unfortunately. When I've done this in the past I've just replaced the audio with similar raw skate clips that I filmed or taken from Raw Files on Thrasher.

As far as I know I don't think its possible to just remove the song and keep the actual skate audio. The only way I think it would be possible is if you had the original clips and the original premier (or what ever software) file. Because then you would be able to see the audio track and the actual footage track.

The only way to do it is delete audio (song and skate audio) and then use skate sounds from other raw clips if you don’t have the original ones

You could try it with an AI stem splitter like lalala https://www.lalal.ai/
would be cool to see if it works.  You could remove the music layer by layer till there's nothing left, but I reckon song vocals and ambient vocals might get muddled.  Skate sounds should just pop out i'd think, or they'll get lumped with drums

Just add some looney tunes sound effects and you are good to go

I think it could be done to an extent. Years ago YouTube claimed a copyright on one of the songs in my video and there was an option to remove the song but keep the audio. From what I remember, they were able to pull some skate sounds from the overall audio. It wasn’t perfect but now with the advancement in tech and AI, I feel like it should be possible somehow.

What they said ^ I’ve noticed YouTube is capable of doing this. You would think there’s some AI software where you plug the song in and tell it to remove only that song, that it would be possible.

My friend has software that will pull the vocals from any song but leave the rest and it works surprisingly well. If there isn’t a solid solution to this yet, there will be in the next year or two and skate video remixers will rejoice

It can be done, not without artifacts, however. And it depends on the specifics. You can send it my way and I’ll try.

Steinberg Wavelab, iZotope RX, some other plugins. But the basic trick can be done with any audio editor, adding a phase-inverted copy of the music track to the audio from the video, effectively subtracting the music. It requires the music track to be as close to the one originally used in the video as possible, including MP3/M4A compression (if any), level, other processing. With some tweaking results are usable.

This is great. I knew something like this method was possible. Thank you!
