How do I save an audio-only file from my video? UVS9

[madhaus]

I know I was able to do this with [b]VS5[/b], which I have of course de-installed now that I have VS9. But I can't find anything that seems let me do what should be very simple.

I want to strip the audio from some video and save it as just an audio file, WAV, MP3, I don't care. I can separate the audio and video tracks and save the audio clip in the library but I don't see how to get it out all by itself. It sure would be nice if I could save the project as a WAV, MP3, etc and lose the video.

Any suggestions? There was a suggestion of an Audio Save dialog box in the UVS9 help but of course the help doesn't say how to get to this box or where it is, and I've worked my way through most of the menu options without finding it.

I also tried importing my AVI file into Audacity but it didn't seem to know what to do with it.

This should be simple, why is it so complicated?

with the video that you wish to extract audio from already placed in the timeline, just go to Share > Create Sound File, that creates a .wav file of the audio, and only the audio that is in the timeline.

That does indeed work, but now I have to re-edit the sounds with an audio program. I've already created the sound clips I needed and put them in the Audio library. How do I save each of these library clips as a seperate file. Do I really have to start with a new project, import each audio clip into the timeline one at a time, and do the Share/Create Sound File thing 4 different times?

Anyway, thank you for directing me toward the missing sound dialog box.

The audio clips you saved to your library, are on your HD as seperate files already. The libraries only contain thumbnails of video, images or audio.
The sample audio clips in the libray are generally found here:

C:\Program Files\Ulead Systems\Ulead Video Studio 9\Samples\Audio

To find where the audio clips are, just right click on a thumbnail and select properties. Now at the top of the dialog box that appears, you should see File Name with a box containing the file name of the clip. Just click inside this, (if you can't see the entire path) and use your right & left arrow keys to move to the left to reveal the entire path.
Now knowing where the files are you can just import them into whatever audio editing program you want...

most of the time, they are on the hard drive already, unless you have split the audio from the video, and just dragged the audio to the library, this will cause the thumbnail to point to the video clip, since that is where the audio is stored.

As for the original question, as far as I know, you will have to load each audio file into the timeline and save as a sound file, although I could be mistaken
