[0:00] Working on a podcast, transcription or
[0:02] AI workflow? Well, then FFmpeg is the
[0:05] tool for you. In this quick tutorial,
[0:07] we're going to look at how we can
[0:08] extract audio from a video file in just
[0:10] one single command. The audio format and
[0:13] codec can be wave, AAC audio, MP3,
[0:17] anything that you would like. Let's get
[0:18] into it. So, of course, I have my video
[0:21] here. Here's how you upload a tutorial
[0:23] similar to this one. And let's say I
[0:27] want to transcribe this to Spanish,
[0:28] transcribe it to French, any other
[0:30] language. I would extract it here and
[0:32] set it off to, you know, my third party
[0:34] service. So again, this is using ffmpeg.
[0:38] I have it installed here. If you don't
[0:40] have it installed, you can, if you're on
[0:42] Mac, you can simply do brew install
[0:43] ffmpeg. You could also install from
[0:46] source um from ffmpeg.org. It's just a
[0:48] little bit more complicated.
[0:51] I'm already in this current working
[0:52] directory over here um with my video
[0:55] titled extract audio. So ffmpeg
[0:59] I which is for input video.mpp4
[1:02] and uh Q colon a zero. So this just kind
[1:07] of means the quality of the audio codec
[1:11] zero which is just the highest. And then
[1:14] we're going to map just the audio
[1:16] stream. That's going to be a we're going
[1:18] to send it to our folder here as an MP3.
[1:23] All righty. So, see how it looks.
[1:27] And there you have it. Here's how you
[1:29] upload and play back a video using MX
[1:31] in. You can hear it, too. So, the reason
[1:33] why we would do this is just it's super
[1:36] simple. You see, it's very quick. We can
[1:38] also
[1:40] set this to wave, which is kind of an
[1:43] uncompressed audio format. So we could
[1:46] also this way.
[1:48] That's a way. Here's how you upload and
[1:50] play back a video using and then last
[1:53] one would be
[1:55] in an M4A which is AAC audio.
[2:00] So these are all transcoding. If I
[2:02] wanted to just simply map the output, I
[2:05] could actually see C for the audio codec
[2:08] map zero
[2:10] A. Oh, I missed copy here. And if I just
[2:14] wanted to do audio, let's say copy. I
[2:19] know that it's AAC, so I could put it as
[2:21] a M4A. And this is going to not
[2:23] transcode. This will just stream copy it
[2:25] out.
[2:27] You see, it's much quicker. And it's the
[2:29] actual Here's how you It's the same
[2:32] stream that's in this original file
[2:33] here. Here's how you upload and play
[2:35] back.
[2:36] So whether you're saving voiceovers,
[2:38] pulling podcast clips, or repurposing
[2:41] reels, FFmpeg gives you full control.
