Mobile phone users capture several videos on a daily basis. On just YouTube, over 300 hours of clips are uploaded per minute. Crazy right? I agree. Phone owners capture all kinds of videos. It could be children playing with pets, someone flaunting his rapping skills on camera or a serious-looking citizen reacting to a current situation in his or her country. The number of videos on YouTube keeps increasing annually and from the look of things, this trend will not stop for a very long time.
The issue, however, is that recording videos comes with a lot of issues. So many times, the audio track for the recordings might be loud or the swearing needs to be worked on, some others even feel the audio is unnecessary at times and soundtrack is preferred, whatever the case is, you can do something about it.
It does not matter if you are creating a clip for your own view or for sharing on social media, removing audio is vital in production. It gets rid of ambient noise, removes loud or distracting sounds, and allows you to include music in your content. Either way though, you must remove the original audio of the recording and we can help you do just that. See How To Remove Audio Track From Video:
