Exporting and Editing Audio Track with Movie Studio 2023

Tim-Zurowski wrote on 6/23/2023, 4:16 PM

In the past, I used an older version of Movie Studio Platinum (I think it was v12 or v13), but I had to upgrade when I recently built a new PC with Win 11. With my previous version I was able to see the audio track and export it into Samplitude PRO X7. Then after editing the audio file in Samp, I was able to import the improved file back into the video. With Movie Studio 2023 Platinum I cannot see the audio track at all, and cannot find anyway to see it within the movie project. Consequently, I am also unable to export the audio track into Samplitude. Does anyone know if this can be done in Movie Studio 2023 and if so . . . . . HOW?

My needs are very simple for this. When my band plays live, we like to video the gig, and then I like to improve the video and audio quality as much as possible. I have really high end mastering and editing plugins in Samplitude that are very useful for this purpose.

Thanks for any help and advice.

Hi Time,

Grrr. I typed this up and then lost my connection when I clicked on Comment.

Where to start?

Magix Movie Studio (MMS) is not the same program as Vegas Movie Studio, unless you mean Movie Edit Pro, so you have a lot to learn.

To get video and audio on separate tracks, go to Program Settings (Y), Video/Audio tab, and uncheck Video/Audio on one track.

For any video clips already on the timeline, select them and do a Ctrl+H.

To export audio to wave file, top menu, File, Export Movie, Audio as WAV. I think that you can figure out the rest.

There are other ways to do this, like setting Samplitude Pro X7 as the External Audio Editor under Program Settings, Folders tab, doing a mixdown, then doing a round trip to edit in the External Audio Editor.

Watch this:

I suggest that you watch my tutorials on Everything Audio, parts 1 and 2. Here is part 1:

Sorry, I have to go.

Thanks very much for the help John. I followed what you said and it worked really well. I'll watch your tutorials after this. :) No idea if my previous version was Vegas or not, I bought it a long time ago. It was not something I used very often, so I never really got very knowledgeable with it. This is something I may use 3 or 4 times a year.
