Detach sound from B-roll

Give a B-roll's sound its own track so you can trim or mute it.

Steps

1. Select the B-roll block on the timeline.

   

2. Select Detach sound in the timeline bar.

   

3. Select 50 percent to turn the detached sound down.

   

If something goes wrong

• If Detach sound is not there, the B-roll's sound is off, or it plays at another speed. Set it back to 1×.
• Hiding B-roll with Hide video hides only its picture. Its sound still plays until you mute or detach it.
• To put the sound back, pick the detached sound and select its Attach to button.
