Removing Words of a Song (leaving the music)

[opus2801]

Hello,

I would like to remove the words (Lyrics) from a video and leave the music. Can you let me know if this is possible with Video Studio?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best Regards

This is not possible with most consumer level video/audio editors.

I would have to say the same thing == especially if the lyrics are embedded in the video itself, rather than accompanying as a separate sub-title .srt file...

The original question is ambiguous. Is the poster asking how to remove subtitle text from the screen or whether it's possible to remove the vocals and just leave the backing track? If it's the latter then it could be done but only if the vocals were recorded on a separate track e.g. Dolby 5.1

If you mean remove the vocals from a recorded video/song? If so, No, VS (any version) cannot do that... but you can export the audio as a .wav and by using other audio software (Such as Audacity, which is free) you can sometimes isolate & soften a vocal (or bass, drums, guitar etc...) with a little EQ trickery... Search around and you'll find the process... Another route is, if it somewhat popular song sometimes you can find a Karoke version of the song which would be devoid of vocal tracks and then just swap the music track out for it....

But... If you mean masking out written words from a captured video? Yes & No... for something like a simple subtitle then yes... a simple way would be to just lay a simple band across them or simply zoom in the entire video until text is hidden but the video imagery will suffer poorly. And you could try some really tricky painstaking masking methods but the effort probably wouldn't really be worth the effort, unless your into wasting mountains of time... So essentially from that aspect No, not really....
