I recorded a video and wanted to touch up my audio in audacity. Here's how I used `ffmpeg` to extract the audio, and then replace it with a modified version.
|
|
|
|
## Extract Audio
|
|
|
|
If you know the format of the audio (mp3, ogg, aac) then it's possible to do a byte copy of the audio track into a file:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ffmpeg -i input_video.mkv -vn -acodec copy output.aac
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
| Argument | Description |
|
|
| -------------- | -------------------------- |
|
|
| `-i` | Input |
|
|
| `-vn` | No Video |
|
|
| `-acodec copy` | Copy audio stream directly |
|
|
|
|
If you don't know the audio codec and have `mediainfo` installed, then run
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mediainfo --Inform="Audio;%Format%" input_video.mkv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you gave up, then you can transcode the audio (will take longer than direct copy)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ffmpeg -i input_video.mkv -vn output.aac
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Replacing Audio
|
|
|
|
Once you're done touching up the audio (`touchup.mp3`), you'll want to replace the existing audio with it.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ffmpeg -i input_video.mkv \
|
|
-i touchup.mp3 \
|
|
-c:v copy \
|
|
-map 0:v:0 \
|
|
-map 1:a:0 \
|
|
output_video.mp4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
| Argument | Description |
|
|
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
| `-i` | Inputs |
|
|
| `-c:v copy` | Make this a copy operation |
|
|
| `-c:v copy -map 0:v:0` | Map the video from the first input to the first video output |
|
|
| `-map 1:a:0` | Map the audio from the second input to the first video output |
|
|
