How to Export Audio Only From Movavi

If you're looking to extract and save only the audio from your video project, Movavi makes this task straightforward.

Follow the steps below to export just the audio track of your project using Movavi Video Editor:

Export an Audio Track

Hit the Export Button: Click the "Export" button located below the player to open up the Export Settings window.

Access Audio File Settings: On the left side of the Export Settings window, click the "Audio File" icon.

Choose an Audio Format:

MP3: This is a common choice as it's supported by almost all media players and devices. However, it may not deliver the highest audio quality especially if the original audio quality isn't great to begin with.

FLAC: This format retains high audio quality but results in larger file sizes. It's a good choice if your original audio is of high quality and you wish to keep it that way.

Remember, a very low-quality file won’t improve in quality by exporting as FLAC. Also, a high-quality file may lose some of its richness if saved to MP3 format, which has a limit of 320 Kbps.

Name Your File and Set Destination:
In the "Save to" field, specify where you want to save your audio file. By default, Movavi will choose the output folder specified in Preferences. If you want a different folder, click the "Browse" button and pick a folder or type the path in the field.

In the "Title" field, type a name for your audio file. Movavi will auto-fill the project's name, but you can change it.

Start the Export: Click the "Start" button and Movavi will begin processing your audio file, saving it to the specified location in your chosen format.

With these simple steps, you can easily extract and save the audio from your video project. Whether you choose MP3 or FLAC, Movavi ensures a hassle-free audio export process.

About Exporting H.264 Video From Movavi

When working with the H.264 codec in Movavi, you have the ability to fine-tune your export settings to match the demands of your project.

Here's how you can dive into the advanced settings of the H.264 codec to ensure a quality export:

Adjusting Codec Settings

Two-pass Encoding: Select this option if you're aiming for improved video quality. Be prepared that the export will take a bit longer with this setting turned on.

Video Processing Speed: Determine the speed of video processing. A faster processing speed might lead to lower video quality, so choose accordingly based on your project’s needs.

Processing Preset Selection: Choose a preset based on your video type. Here are the options:


Film: Ideal for high-quality film material.

Animation: Best suited for cartoons.

Retro: Use this for grainy film material.

Slideshow: A good choice for slideshows created with pictures.

Fast Decode: This speeds up video processing by disabling some filters, useful when time is of the essence.

Apply Settings: Once you've made your selections, click "OK" to apply the new settings.

These steps allow you to customize the H.264 codec settings in Movavi to better align with your project requirements. Whether you're working on a high-quality film or a quick slideshow, these settings ensure you have control over the video processing and export quality.
