How to separate video and audio from a video-file in Live

Post by posssu » Thu Feb 14, 2008 8:12 pm

When I import a video file to a track in Live, is there any way to separate the audio from the video track to a separate track or is it always bound to the video file? I can do this in Quicktime easily, but I was wondering if it's possible in Live.

Drag the video file in twice?

what do you want to do?

there is a way though - an audio file will be created in the decoding cache, just copy it and drag it into the set

Pitch Black, I want to get rid of the video instead of carrying around a track with video on it. I'll check the cache, thanks!
